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

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 AUX inputs on the rear of the LCD projection TV. Pictures from equipment connected to
