Setting Up the LCD Projection TV

Cable Box and Antenna

Before connecting a cable box, see “Using CableCARD” on page 56.

For best results, use this connection if:

❑Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble all channels.

❑You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 39 and 40.)

With this connection you can:

❑Use the LCD projection TV’s remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the LCD projection TV’s cable input. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 62.)

❑Use the LCD projection TV’s remote control to change channels coming directly into the LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.
