Chapter 1: Introduction Overview: • Welcome to LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon): A Higher Definition Television Is Here.™ • A brand new HD technology • What makes the HD viewing experience so special? Graphics are for representational purposes.
Page 10: Welcome To Liquid Crystal On Silicon ( Lcos )
In addition to a superlative picture, the technology used inside of the TV uses smaller and lighter weight parts than normal TVs. The television designers saw an advantage and went to work — creating a lightweight, sleek design. The result: your RCA LCOS High Definition Television.
Page 11: A Brand New Hd Technology
Your LCOS HDTV is 18 inches thin — taking up less space than standard televisions. The absence of a picture tube (also called a Cathode Ray Tube) allows for a slimmer, lightweight design. Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction A brand new HD technology There’s been much discussion about HDTV (high definition television) and how it works.
Page 12: Light Management Yields Brighter, Crisper Pictures
Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction RGB imagers Light Management Yields Brighter, Crisper Pictures Simply put, the secret of LCOS is “light management.” Your LCOS high definition television uses state-of-the-art technology to form a revolutionary, optical system known as a Light Engine. This Light Engine manages and manipulates light like never before, to provide premier HDTV viewing.
Page 13 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 What Makes the HD Viewing Experience So Special? To videophiles, the technology is what makes HDTV so special. But to a regular viewer, there are basically three things that make HDTV (espe- cially, your LCOS HDTV) the ultimate viewing experience: •...
Page 14 Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction A 4:3 aspect ratio shows less of the image than the widescreen, 16:9 apsect ratio that is part of the HDTV standards. When the standards were being developed for television broadcasting in 1941 by the NTSC (the National Television Standards Committee), it made sense to adopt the 4 x 3 aspect ratio that the film industry was using at that time.

NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
Page 17: Choose Your Connection
Choose Your Connection There are several ways to connect your LCOS television, depending on the components you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. Please use the following chart to determine which connection is best for you. Proceed to the appropriate page and connect your TV.

Chapter 2 Connections & Setup Chapter 2 Connections & Setup Power Light The Power Light The power light on the front of your TV (sometimes called an L.E.D.) also functions as an important indicator: it lets you know what’s happening inside of your TV. Your LCOS television is equipped with a special lamp unit that is part of the system that enables your TV to display such crisp images (explained in Chapter 1).
Page 37: What To Expect
Chapter 2 Connections & Setup Chapter 2 Connections & Setup What to Expect Your LCOS television has to check many functions each time you turn it on. You’ll notice that it takes several seconds for the picture to reach peak quality and brightness when you turn on the TV. Additionally, the very first time you turn on your LCOS television, it might take a minute or so to see the picture.
