Connections
Cable
Although you can use either an indoor antenna or
outdoor antenna with your projection TV,
we
recommend connecting to an outdoor antenna or a
cable TV system for improved picture quality.
For the customers who connect a cable box, skip “Step
4: Setting up the projection TV automatically (AUTO
SET UP)” (page
14
) and proceed to “Selecting the cable
box output channel (TV INPUT)” (page
18
).
Connecting an antenna
Connect your antenna cable to the VHF/UHF antenna
terminal. If you cannot connect your antenna cable
directly to the terminal,
follow one of the instructions
