Installing and Connecting the Projection TV

Cable Box and Cable

This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:

Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable box, and

You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.

With this setup you can:

Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your cable box when the signal is scrambled.

Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one channel is sent to the projection TV, so you can not use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The projection TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.

3 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the projection TV’s AUX jack.

KP 46WT500 specifications

The Sony KP-46WT500 is a standout model in the world of rear-projection televisions, having made its mark during its release in the early 2000s. It exemplifies the key attributes that have kept Sony at the forefront of consumer electronics for decades.

At the heart of the KP-46WT500 is its impressive 46-inch display, which allows for larger-than-life viewing experiences. The television employs a digital light processing (DLP) technology, which uses micro-mirrors to create high-resolution images with remarkable clarity and detail. DLP provides excellent color reproduction, thanks to its ability to deliver deeper blacks and vibrant colors, making it an ideal choice for movie enthusiasts and gamers alike.

One of the standout features of the KP-46WT500 is its native resolution of 1280 x 720p, enabling it to display high-definition content with impressive sharpness. The screen also utilizes a proprietary Sony filtering system that enhances picture quality, reducing the distortion often seen in standard televisions. The inclusion of a built-in line-doubling processor allows the TV to upscale lower-resolution content, ensuring that DVDs and older video games look their best.

The KP-46WT500 also boasts a breadth of connectivity options, including multiple composite and component inputs, S-Video ports, and an RGB input for computers. This flexibility allows users to connect various devices such as gaming consoles, DVD players, and set-top boxes without hassle.

Another notable characteristic of the KP-46WT500 is its stylish cabinet design. Its sleek profile combines functionality with aesthetics, making it a fitting addition to modern living spaces. The design also incorporates easy access to controls and inputs, ensuring that setup and operation are user-friendly.

Sound quality is equally important, and the KP-46WT500 does not disappoint. It features built-in speakers that provide clear audio output, though audiophiles might opt for external sound systems for a more immersive experience.

In summary, the Sony KP-46WT500 represents a significant step in the evolution of television technology. Its DLP technology, high-definition resolution, diverse connectivity, and attractive design make it a notable choice for anyone looking for a robust viewing experience. While newer models may have emerged since its introduction, the KP-46WT500 remains a beloved classic among enthusiasts who appreciate its impactful features and performance.
