RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this

apparatus to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus. The Energy Star label, a symbol for energy efficiency, was created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to help customers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. Energy Star compliant products generally consume less energy than similar standard products. The Class II insulation symbol (square within a square) indicates that this product has been evaluated and tested to comply with Class II insulation requirements.IMPORTANT INFORMATION 1 l Important Information Information Regarding Convergence In the projection television, the image is formed by projecting 3 different color images (red, green and blue) onto the projection screen. Convergence refers to the alignment of red, green and blue images on the projection screen. When these images are properly aligned (converged), you see a sharp and vibrant color image. Sometimes, the three images may require alignment. This is due to the effect of earth’s magnetic field on the projection tubes. Normally, adjustment is not necessary after the initial alignment at the center of the screen. It is possible to correct the color fringing on other areas of the screen by using the buttons on the remote control and by following the on-screen instructions in the set-up menu. Please converge the images before using the television for the first time. The following diagram shows examples of a misaligned image and a properly aligned image. Please refer to pages 26 and 27 for detailed procedure on how to adjust convergence. Notes:

• Make sure that the set is on for at least 20 minutes before adjusting convergence as described on pages 26 and 27.

• Convergence adjustment is independent for each format (480i, 1080i or zoom). Setting in one format does not affect the other. Important Information Regarding The Use Of Video Games, Computers, Or Other Fixed Image Displays. FCC INFORMATION This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limit for a Class B Digital Device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications, However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Misconverged image Properly aligned image

WARNING: The marking or retained image on the

picture tube resulting from viewing fixed image is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. The projection television is designed to display constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous viewing of stationary images such as letterbox pictures on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars), non- expanded standard (4:3) pictures on wide screen TVs (with side bars shown on each side of an image), stock market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the screen), video game patterns, fixed scoreboards, bright station logos, on-line (Internet) or repetitive computer style patterns should be limited. The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent picture tube damage, shown as a “shadow image” viewable on normal programs. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be limited by performing the following steps:

• Limit the display of fixed image program material to no more than 15% of total viewing time per week.

• Turn the power off when not in use.2 l

• Use a mild soap solution or window cleaner and a clean cloth.

• Do not use alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum based products.

• Avoid excessive moisture and wipe dry.

• Prevent solution from running into the receiver below.

• Avoid bumping or scraping the screen. Note: Do not spray any type of cleaning fluid directly on the screen. Cabinet and Remote Control

• For cabinets and remote control, use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid excessive moisture and wipe dry.

• Do not use benzene, thinner or other petroleum based products. Specifications Specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation. Feature Chart

• Avoid excessive sunlight or bright lights, including reflections.

• Keep away from excessive heat or moisture. Inadequate ventilation may cause internal component failure.

• Fluorescent lighting may reduce remote control transmitting range.

• Keep away from magnetic equipment, including motors, fans and external speakers. Optional Cable Connections Shielded audio and video cables should be used between components. For best results:

• Use 75-ohm coaxial shielded cables.

• Use appropriate input and output connectors, that match your component connectors.

• Avoid long cables to minimize interference. AC Power Supply Cord CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT OF AC OUTLET AND FULLY INSERT. DO NOT USE A PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. PROTECT POWER CORDS FROM BEING WALKED ON, ROLLED OVER, CRIMPED, BENT, OR PINCHED, PARTICULARLY AT PLUGS, CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES, AND THE POINT WHERE THEY EXIT FROM THE APPARATUS.

• Press the Remote Control to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turnon. Note: If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat the procedure using another code. (Some brands have multiple codes). If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than 30 seconds, the programming will fail. Programming Without A Code This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method.”

• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.

• Turn the component off.

• Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.
