Installing and Connecting the Projection TV

zIf you have a digital cable box, you cannot use this connection because the TO CONVERTER jack is not compatible with digital cable boxes.

Cable Box Only

Use this hookup if:

You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your projection TV.

When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled channel is sent to the projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup on page 17 instead.

1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable box’s IN jack.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

Your Sony remote control can be programmed to operate your cable box (see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 71).

To change channels using the cable box, set your projection TV to channel 3 or 4 depending on the cable box channel output. If you will be controlling all channel selection through your cable box, consider using the Channel Fix feature to set your projection TV to channel 3 or 4 (see page 57).
