Setting Up the SXRD Projection TV
VCR and Cable Box
Before connecting a cable box, see “Using CableCARD” on page 58.
Use this hookup 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.
❑You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:
❑Use the SXRD projection TV’s remote control to change channels on your cable box when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control to operate your cable box, see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 64.
❑Use the SXRD projection TV’s remote control to change channels on your SXRD projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. Your SXRD 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 signal is sent to the SXRD projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature.)
Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.
