Setting Up the LCD Projection TV

Cable Box and Cable

Before connecting a cable box, see “Using CableCARD” on page 52.

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 35 and 36.)

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 VHF/UHF input jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 58.)

❑Use the LCD projection TV’s remote control to change channels coming directly into the LCD projection TV’s CABLE input. (The LCD projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

❑Use all the dual picture features for unscrambled channels coming directly into the LCD projection TV’s CABLE input jack.
