Connecting the Antenna / Cable to the RF in Ter mi nal (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).

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.

Similar connections are available at the INPUT 1, 2, 3 input terminals.
Notes:
•   Similar connections are available at the INPUT 1, 2, 3 input terminals. 
•   Input 3 is located on the side of the unit. 
•   Select the desired VIDEO input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 35)
•   When connecting video cables, priority is given to the S-Video cable when the S-Video input terminal and the video input 
terminal are connected at the same time.
Similar connections are available at the INPUT 1, 2, 3 input terminals.

How to con nect 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 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, RGB/DIGITAL IN or SD/PC card signals.
•   The S-Video OUT terminal outputs the same signal that is input from the S-Video IN terminal.

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.
•   The picture will become dark if an PC 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 specifi 
ed frequency 
range.
•   Select the desired RGB input position by pressing the PC/MENU or TV/VIDEO button. (P. 35)
•   Similar connections are available at the RGB IN 1, 2 Terminals.

How to connect the DIGITAL IN Terminal
Connecting a DTV Decoder to DIGITAL IN
By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-defi 
nition picture source to the DIGITAL IN terminal of 
this projection display, high-defi 
nition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is 
for use in the future when High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection DTV decoders, DVD players and D-VHS are 
put on the market.) DVI  cable 
Notes:
•   Select the DIGITAL input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 35)
•   The DIGITAL IN terminal can only be used with 1080i, 720p and 480p picture signals. Set the DTV Decoder DIGITAL OUT 
terminal to 1080i, 720p, or 480p signal output. Please refer to the DTV Decoder instruction manual.
•   If no picture is displayed because the DTV Decoder output cannot be set, use the component Video Input, S-Video Input, or 
Video Input. This will display the picture as an analog signal.
AU DIO The video signal is digitally input to the projection display for superior picture quality enjoyment.
