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.
When using “Nut type” RF coaxial cables, tighten with fi 
ngers only. Overtightening may damage terminals.
•   Turn off the power supply for all com po nents 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 care ful ly 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 fl 
icker. In this case, it will 
be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).

Cable Connection
Use this confi

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 re quire 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. 26)

Note:
•   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.

How to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO Input Ter mi nals
Notes:
•   Similar connections are available at the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1-4 Terminals.
•   Select the desired COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 35)
•   Component video signals that can be input are 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i.
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, PR).
Please read the operating instructions included with the output device.

How to connect the AV OUT Te r m i n a l s
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:
•   This unit contains Video and Audio Outputs for the purpose of recording television programming to VCR. Due to license 
restrictions, if a device (STB, DVD, etc.) is connected to the HDMI input of the unit, no video or audio output is allowed.
•   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 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, RGB/HDMI IN or SD/PC card signals.

How to connect the RGB IN Terminals
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.
•   Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specifi 
ed frequency 
range.
•   Select the desired RGB input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 35)
•   Similar connections are available at the 
RGB IN 1, 2 Terminals (For PT-50LC14/PT-60LC14).

If a signal which differs greatly from any of the types listed below is input, the picture image may not be 
dis played correctly, or a black background may be displayed. At this time, “signal” will fl 
ash in the on-screen 
display for about 5 seconds.
Notes:
•   The D-SUB15P connector can accept RGB (H-V sync separate).
•   When used with an external video processor/scaler, it must have RGB (H-V sync separate) output.

About HDMI
HDMI is the fi 
rst all digital consumer electronics A / V interface that supports several uncompressed standard, 
enhanced and high defi 
nition video format as well as all existing multi-channel audio formats. One jack supports both 
video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP
*1 input can be connected to an EIA /CEA 861/861B*2 compliant 
consumer electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By 
inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high defi 
nition picture source to the HDMI terminal of 
this unit, high defi 
nition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not 
intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080i, 720p and 480p formats. Select the 
output of the connected device to match that of the unit.
Notes:
*1  HDMI/HDCP = High Defi 
nition Multimedia Interface / High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection.*2 EIA/CEA-861/861B Profi 
les compliance covers profi 
les for transmission of uncompressed digital video including high bandwidth
