Overview
Your new SXRD projection TV can receive both analog and digital
broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV.
To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and
choose the correct display forlnat (see " U:mg
s'
tile WIDE Button" on page
53). It is strongly recommended
to connect tile antenna using a 75-ohm
coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin
lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and tile like, resulting in
signal deterioration.
If you use a 300-ohm
away as possible from the TV.
t_
m
To get the most out of your TV. the input signals to the TV (and connected
devices) should use the connections
that provide the best video and audio
performance.

TV
Device
The CableCARD
device provides cable subscribers
with access to digitally
encrypted cable channels -- without the need for a set-top box -- that will
enable you to receive not only standard definition but also high definition
television. The CableCARD
device, which is provided by your cable TV
company, is inserted into the TV's rear panel CableCARD
slot. After the
service is activated with your cable TV company, the card replaces the need
for a separate set-top box.
About Using
the CableCARD
Device
If you are planning to use a separate cable box for digital cable TV services,
you may be able to receive programming
using this TV with the
CableCARD
device instead -- except in the following circumstances:
[]
Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD
service in your
viewing area.
[]
You want to access your cable TV company's
interactive or advanced
features (such as video-on-demand
or. in some cases, pay-per-view).
At
this time, these services require a bidirectional
link, which are only
available through the use of a separate set-top box. CableCARD
device
is currently a unidirectional
device only, and cannot provide these
advanced services.
Check with your cable TV company
limitations, pricing, and availability,

service details,
all of which are determined by your

_,_ CAUTION: when inserting the CableCARD device; the rear side of
the card should be on your left side. Inserting the CableCARD
incorrectly may result in permanent damage to the card and the TV.
"_" You can also access
information about your
CabIeCARD device in

(see page 102).
