It is highly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it away as far as possible from the LCD projection TV.

Do not use an indoor antenna because it is especially susceptible to radio noise.

Using the Features

Hookups that affect your ability to use Twin View:

- If you are viewing all channels through the cable box, the Twin

View feature will not work. The cable box only unscrambles one signal at a time, so the right picture will be the same as the left picture.

- You can watch a scrambled cable channel and another video source. Be sure your DVD player, VCR or satellite receiver are connected to one of the VIDEO IN 1-7 and antenna inputs on the rear of the LCD projection TV. Digital TV pictures, and pictures from equipment connected to HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, and DVI-HDTV

IN 7, will only appear in the left picture, not in the right.

The active picture is indicated by the 9 icon.

Factors Affecting Twin View

If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in both windows because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a time.

If you use a cable box, you can view the cable box output in one window and view a different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by using the

TV/VIDEO

button.

Digital TV channels, as well as any sources connected to the VIDEO 5,

VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs display in the left window, but not the right.

If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a

DVD) side by side, the 4:3 source appears larger.

Twin View does not display channels that are blocked by parental

settings (see page 98).

analog signal aspect ratio

A signaling method that uses continuous changes in the amplitude or frequency of an electronic transmission to convey information.

Refers to the ratio between the width and height of the screen. This LCD projection

TV has a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio, as opposed to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals and one brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color accuracy than composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate portions.

Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color shade (chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.

A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV provides higher resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.

A unit of the Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, that establishes television standards in the United States, such as NTSC Color, the standard used in this LCD projection TV.

Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum that is used to transmit TV and radio signals.

S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color

(chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution than composite video, which carries the signals together.

VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 30 to 300 megahertz. UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from

300 to 3,000 megahertz.

Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first transmits all the odd lines on the LCD projection TV screen and then the even lines.

Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits each line from top to bottom.

Provides 720 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits each line from top to bottom.
