<ARB1526>
Progressive Scan/HDTV READY
Dual System Component Input for NTSC/
Progressive
Connection to a DVD player with a component output terminal
makes possible high-picture-quality display superior to that of
S-VIDEO terminal connection. Also handles high resolution
component input (1080i, 480p), which will function as an
interface for high-quality images in future.
DUAL TUNER (SPLIT screen and SEARCH
screen function)
Two TV tuners are provided, making it possible to split the
screen vertically in two and display moving images
simultaneously on them. In addition, the channel search
function makes it possible to check, etc., on the program in the
back. Its convenience will be limited only by your imagination.
Fully Illuminated Remote Control Unit
A fully illuminated universal remote control is used that makes
it possible to operate other devices. Remote operations can
thus be performed easily even in dark rooms and similar
environments.
SURROUND
*
Natural front surround sound (SRS) with an expansive feel
and natural sound similar to multi-channel surround sound
(TruSurround) can be enjoyed.
Highly Detailed Image Display Technology
The tinted 0.52mm ultrafine-pitch screen, Hi Band Video
Amplifier circuit, Progressive contour correction circuit and
various other technologies for creating high picture quality
make the display of highly detailed images possible.
Lens System for HDTV
Adoption of a lens system for high-resolution HDTV that
faithfully reproduces HDTV 1080i signals allows highly color-
saturated images to be displayed at high resolution.
Whole Screen IR Receiver
The remote control sensor is installed behind the screen,
allowing you to operate this monitor with the remote control
unit in those installations where only the screen is revealed.
3D Y/C Separation Circuit
This three-dimensional Y/C separation circuit reproduces
clearer picture quality.
Scan Velocity Modulation Circuit
Precise images from progressive scanning can be displayed
in even greater detail, owing to the Scan Velocity Modulation
(SVM) circuit.
Nine-Point Convergence System
Convergence adjustment of not only the center but 8
surrounding points makes it possible to display clear images
with no color distortion around the screen.

PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR PROJECTION MONITOR RECEIVER
16.
If an outside antenna is connected through other
equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-
up static charges. In the U. S. A., section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information on proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrode, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
