Connecting the Antenna / Cable to the RF in Terminal (No VCR)
Antenna Connection
For proper reception of VHF / UHF channels, an external antenna is required. For best reception an outdoor
antenna is recommended.

Installation
When using “Nut type” RF coaxial cables, tighten with fingers only. Overtightening may damage terminals.
WARNING • Turn off the power supply for all components before making any connections.
• If the cables necessary for connecting a component to the system are not included with the component or available
as an option, you may need to fashion a cable to suit the component concerned.
• Read the instruction manual for each system component carefully before connecting it.
• If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal input from the video source, the picture on the screen may flicker. In this
case, it will be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).

Cable Connection
Use this configuration when connecting the projection display to a cable TV system.
Notes:
• Certain cable systems offset some channels to reduce interference or have Premium (scrambled) channels. A cable
converter box is required for proper reception. Check with your local Cable company for its compatibility require-
ments.
• For reception of cable channels (01 - 125) connect the cable supplied by your local cable company.
Antenna Mode must be set to CABLE. (P. 24)

Notes:
• When the RF coaxial cable is connected to the projection display VHF/UHF terminal via a cable box or VCR, set the
TV channel to CH3 or CH4. This does not apply when signal is input from VIDEO INPUT.

Because each Y, PB, and PR signal is input independently, the Component signal allows for more accurate color
reproduction.
The Component signal output terminal indication will differ according to the output device (Y, P
B / Cb, PR / Cr). Please
read the operating instructions included with the output device.

How to connect the AV Out Terminals
The “AV Out” Terminals output the same signals as the main picture on the projection display screen and sound from
the speaker at that time, e.g. TV programs or signals from INPUT 1, 2, 3 terminals.
Notes:
• Never connect the VIDEO IN and OUT terminals to the same video recorder, as this could cause incorrect operation.
• Even if TV is in Split or PIP mode, OUT terminals only output the main picture and sound signals. A sub-picture,
including channel search, etc., will not be output.
• VIDEO OUT terminals will not output Y, P
B, PR, or RGB signals.
• The S-Video OUT terminal outputs the same signal that is input from the S-Video IN terminal.

How to connect the PC Input Terminals
Signal Names for D-SUB 15P Connector
Pin Layout for PC Input
Terminal
Notes:
• Some PC models cannot be connected to the set. A conversion adapter is required to use the RGB cable (D-SUB
15P) to connect a Macintosh computer to the set. There is no need to use an adapter for computers with PC / AT
compatible D-SUB 15P terminal.
• The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only. Additional equipment and cables shown are not
supplied with this set.
• The picture will become dark if an RGB signal with a vertical scanning frequency of 62 Hz is input. To obtain the
optimum picture quality with the projection display, a vertical scanning frequency of 60 Hz is recommended.
• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified
frequency range.
• Select the desired RGB input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 33)

Analog RGB signals that can be input
The table below lists the different types of analog RGB signals that can be input.
If a signal which differs greatly from any of the types listed below is input, the picture image may not be displayed
correctly, or a black background may be displayed. At this time, “signal” will flash in the on-screen display for about 5
seconds.
Notes:
• Input signals, other than those listed with a 
* mark, will give you a beautiful, stable picture.
• The front D-SUB15P connector can accept RGB(H-V sync separate) and RGB(sync on green). However, it is
not guaranteed to display stable color when using RGB(sync on green).
• When used with an external video processor/scaler, it must have RGB(H-V sync separate) output.
