Using the Features
✍ Hookups that affect your ability to use Twin View:
- If you are viewing all channels through the cable box, the Twin
View feature will not work. The cable box only unscrambles one
signal at a time, so the right picture will be the same as the left
picture.
- You can watch a scrambled cable channel and another video
source. Be sure your DVD player, VCR or satellite receiver are
connected to one of the VIDEO IN 1-7 and antenna inputs on the
rear of the LCD projection TV. Digital TV pictures, and pictures
from equipment connected to HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, and DVI-HDTV
IN 7, will only appear in the left picture, not in the right.
✍ The active picture is indicated by the 9 icon.
Factors Affecting Twin View
❑
❑
❑
If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in
both windows because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a
time.
If you use a cable box, you can view the cable box output in one window
and view a different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the
second window by using the TV/VIDEO button.
Digital TV channels, as well as any sources connected to the VIDEO 5,
VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs display in the left window, but not the
right.

If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a

Black bands appear at the top
and bottom of the screen
Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9
(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your LCD projection TV will
show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For
more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your
program provider).
Certain programs on DVD or
other digital sources display a
loss of detail, especially during
fast-motion or dark scenes
❏
The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your
LCD projection TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts
(small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your
LCD projection TV’s large screen and ability to show very fine detail, and is
normal for certain digitally recorded programs. Adjust the reality/clarity in the
sources.
