“Outdoor Antenna Installation and Grounding” on page 10
“Suggested Supports or Stands” on page 11

Important Safety Instructions

Selecting a Suitable Environment for the TV
The TV is very heavy. Two people are required to lift or move the TV to avoid injury.
Do not place the TV on an unstable or tilted cart, stand, or table. Place the TV on the center of the stand, making sure it is fully supported on all sides.
Do not place the TV near water or sources of heat.
Do not place the TV in direct sunlight, such as in front of a window.

Note
To CATV system installers:
Article 820-40 of the NEC provides guidelines for proper grounding and specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Do not place the TV in an area subject to vibration.
Do not place the TV or the remote control on top of or near heat-producing equipment or in a hot location.
Do not operate the TV in an area with high temperatures or humidity, or where large amounts of dust are present.
Leave at least 12 inches (30 cm) of room around the vents on the sides of the TV and do not block the vents. They provide ventilation and prevent the TV from overheating.
Do not use the TV in temperatures outside of the range of 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C).
Do not store the TV in temperatures outside the range of 14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C).
If you place the TV in a permanent installation near a wall, secure the TV to the wall using screws and steel wire connected to the two screw holes on the top rear of the TV.
Plugging the TV Into an Electrical Outlet
Use only the type of power source indicated on the TV. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.
Place the TV near a wall outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug (two blades, with one wider than the other). Connect the plug only to a compatible outlet where you can fully insert the plug to prevent exposure of the plug blades. If you are unable to insert the plug fully, try reversing the plug. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the outlet.
Do not place the TV where the power cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or damage to the plug.
Take the following precautions when plugging in the TV. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in sparks, fire, or electric shock: Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present. Do not insert the plug with wet hands. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
Unplug the TV during lightning storms or when it will not be used for extended periods.
Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Pull on the plug housing to unplug the power cord; do not pull on the cord.

Operating the TV Safely
Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards.
Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions:
When the power cord is damaged or frayed, or if it becomes hot.
When liquid has been spilled into the TV or if it has been exposed to rain or water.
If the TV does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if
it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
If the TV has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
Do not stand on the TV or place heavy objects on top of it.
Do not block the slots and openings in the TV case.
Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots.
Never insert an object other than a digital photo card in the card slots, or an object other than paper or an ink cassette into the printer. Do not use sharp tools to remove a card from a slot or you may damage the slot and card.
Use only the ink cassette and paper specified for use in the Epson Livingstation printer (part number V13H151010).
Never spill liquid of any kind into the TV.
Do not move or lift the TV by moving or lifting the stand or table supporting it; the TV may fall and cause injury.
Replacing the Projection Lamp Safely
Never touch the projection lamp immediately after turning off the TV or you could be burned.Wait at least 30 minutes after turning off the TV to let the lamp cool down completely.
If the lamp has broken, handle the shards carefully to avoid injury.
The used lamp contains mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put the lamp in the trash.
Install the new lamp securely to avoid an electrical short or other damage. Insert the lamp as described on page 97, pushing it all the way into its slot. Tighten the screws to lock the lamp securely into place or the lamp will not come on.
Do not touch the glass on the lamp with your bare hands. This can shorten the lamp life and obscure the projected image. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.

Outdoor Antenna Installation and Grounding

It is best to have a professional technician install an antenna on the roof of a structure. If you install an antenna yourself, be careful to avoid serious injury.
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.
Example of Antenna Grounding in National Electrical Code Instructions
Ground clamp
Antenna lead in wire
Antenna discharge unit (NEC Section 810-20)
Grounding conductors
Grounding clamps
Power service grounding electrode system (NEC ART 250, Part H)
(NEC Section 810-21)
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines/ electric lights or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep it from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
For added protection during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power-line surges.

Setting Up and Controlling Channels

If you plan to use your TV’s built-in tuner to view television programs, you’ll need to set up your available channels. You may also want to use the TV’s channel control features or block unwanted viewing of channels or input sources by children, as described in these sections:
“Setting Up Your TV Channels” below
“Labelling TV Channels” on page 51
“Selecting Channels” on page 50
“Setting Up Favorite Channels” on page 50
“Setting Up Parental Controls” on page 53

Setting Up Your TV Channels

If you’re receiving your TV programs using a broadcast antenna or a cable system without a cable box, you need to set up the channels that the TV can receive.
You can use Auto Program to automatically search for the available channels and set them up. Then, for channels that are not automatically detected, you can use Manual Program to add them. You can also choose to have the TV “skip” certain channels that you don’t want to view.

Automatically Setting Up Your Channels

Before setting up your channels, make sure you’ve connected your broadcast antenna or cable service line to the ANT 1 or ANT 2 connector on the back of the TV. Then press the TV/Video button on the TV panel or remote control to select your TV signal.
Note
If you watch TV programs using an HDTV tuner, or a cable, satellite, or digital TV service with a separate receiver box, you don’t need to set up your channels. The tuner or receiver box does that for you.
1 Press the Menu button on the TV panel or the remote control.
2 To move to the Channel tab, press Next >.
3 When the Channel tab is highlighted, press Enter. The Antenna 1 setting is highlighted.
Setting Up and Controlling Channels 47
Note
You can use the buttons on the TV or the remote for all menu operations.
Page 48
4 First make sure the correct television source type is selected for Antenna 1 and/or
Antenna 2. Select TV for broadcast television via an antenna outside your house. Select CATV for cable television via a cable service line brought into your house.
If you need to change the option, press Select d or Select u to highlight the Antenna 1 or Antenna 2 setting, then press Prev < or Next > to change the option.
5 If you connected a source to the ANT 2 connector, press Select d to highlight the Use
of Ant. 2 setting, then press Prev < or Next > to select On.
6 Press Select d to highlight Auto Program, then press Enter.
Note
If you have another TV signal source connected to the other antenna connector (ANT 1 or 2), press the TV/Video button to switch to that source. Then repeat steps 1 through 5 to set up the channels on that source too.
The menu disappears and Auto Program Setting appears in the middle of the screen as the TV begins searching for available channels. It reports the current channel in the upper right corner. This process takes a few minutes, depending on the number of channels available.
When it’s finished, you return to the Channel menu.
If the automatic program doesn’t detect all of your available channels or if you want to set up the TV to skip certain available channels, follow the steps in the next section.
48 Setting Up and Controlling Channels
Page 49

Manually Adding or Skipping Channels

For channels that are not automatically detected when you use Auto Program, you can use Manual Program to add them. You can also choose to have the TV skip certain channels so you don’t have to cycle through them when you change channels.
1 Press Select d to highlight Manual Program, then press Enter. The screen changes
to the following:
2 To select a channel, press Select d or Select u until its number is highlighted in the
Channel column.
If the channel number you want is not shown on the screen, press Prev < or Next > to go to the next or previous screen.
3 Press Enter. The highlight moves to the Add/Skip column.
4 Press Prev < or Next > to select Add or Skip, then press Enter.

Adjusting the Picture Quality

Your TV offers three color modes (preset picture settings) that let you quickly adjust the picture for various lighting environments and image types. After selecting a suitable color mode, you can fine-tune the picture by adjusting its brightness, contrast, sharpness, saturation, tint, black level, color temperature, and screen position. You can also create two custom color modes that let you quickly adjust the picture for special viewing needs.
Color modes and picture quality adjustments are saved independently for each image source. Before changing settings, select the source you want to adjust (for example, HDTV tuner or DVD player) and display a picture. After you finish adjusting the settings for this source, switch to each additional source you’ll be viewing and make any desired adjustments.
1 Select the source you want to adjust and display a picture.
2 Press the Menu button on the TV panel or the remote control.
3 Press the Enter button. The Color Mode setting is highlighted.

Aspect button
Most TV and video signals determine the size of the image on your screen. If your video source is connected to the TV’s Video or S-Video port, or if you’re watching a TV program through the TV’s built-in tuner, you can change the shape of the picture (called the aspect ratio) by pressing the Aspect button on the remote control.
Press the Aspect button repeatedly to select any one of the screen sizes shown below. The name of the aspect ratio appears in the upper left corner.
Normal is the default size of your video source, if it is in standard 4:3 broadcast ratio.
Full stretches a standard 4:3 ratio image to fit into your 16:9 ratio screen, stretching equally on all sides.
66 Adjusting the Picture and Sound
Page 67
Wide stretches a standard 4:3 ratio image to fit into your 16:9 ratio screen, but the image size stretches increasingly more from the center to the sides.
Zoom enlarges the entire screen and cuts off some of the top and bottom for a closer view. Use Zoom when you’re watching movies broadcast in Letterbox format so they fit your screen.
Auto lets the TV select a suitable aspect ratio based on the signal it receives. If it can’t detect an aspect ratio from the signal, it displays the image using the default option selected in the menu system, as described below.

Most digital cameras automatically format the files this way, but if you copy photos to the photo card using another device, you may need to set up this structure yourself.
The folder structure must be:
D:\DCIM\
or
D:\DCIM\123abcde\
where D: is the drive letter of your card reader, and it contains a DCIM folder. Your photos may be in the DCIM folder or in a folder beneath it. Any folders beneath the DCIM folder must be no more than 8 characters long, usually three numbers followed by up to 5 alphabetic characters, such as 100epson.
The photo files must be in JPEG format and named:
Photo card
DCIM
100epson
epsn0001.jpg
epsn0002.jpg
epsn0003.jpg
abcd1234.jpg
where abcd1234 is a file name 8 characters long, beginning with 4 letters and ending with 4 numbers higher than 0000, such as epsn0001.jpg.

The photo viewer cannot display, enlarge, or print TIF images. You see only the

The photo files must contain a time stamp, so the slide show can display the files in time stamp order.
The photo files should contain thumbnail data, such as that included in Exif format JPEG files, to speed up display of the files in the photo viewer.

Compatible Photos and File Structure (CD)

If you create a CD-R/RW of your photos using a computer, make sure that you use the file structure and naming conventions defined in the DCF standard so the photo viewer can display your photos. Your CD-R/RW must contain folders and files using the following structure and format:
The folder structure must be:
Photo CD
Pictures
Va ca ti on
photo001.jpg
photo002.jpg
photo003.jpg
photo001.jpg
photo002.jpg
photo003.jpg
Note
The photo viewer cannot display, enlarge, or print TIF images. You see only the
icon on the viewer screens for TIF images. You can write TIF images to a CD-R/RW and view them on your computer, however.
D:\nnnnnnnn\
where D: is the drive letter of your CD drive and nnnnnnnn is a folder up to 8 characters long, such as \pictures. Any folders beneath the first level folder must also be no more than 8 characters long.
The photo files must be named:
nnnnnnnn.jpg
where nnnnnnnn is a file name up to 8 characters long (consisting of alphanumeric characters and the ~ and _ symbols), such as photo001.jpg. The file must be in JPEG format.
The photo files must contain a time stamp, so the slide show can display the files in time stamp order.
The photo files should contain thumbnail data, such as that included in Exif format JPEG files, to speed up display of the files in the photo viewer.
You cannot use the TV to write photos to a CD-R/RW disc that was previously written to by a computer. You can view and print photos from these discs, but you cannot write new photos to them using your TV. This is because your TV and computer use different methods for writing files. When you want to write photos to a CD-R/RW, use a new, blank disc.

Inserting a CD

Before you view photos on a CD, make sure you’ve connected the external CD-R/RW drive that came with your TV. See page 15 for instructions.
Follow these steps to insert a CD-R/RW in your external CD-R/RW drive:
1 Make sure the TV is turned on and the Power light is green and not flashing.
2 Press the eject button on the drive to open the tray.

Replacing the TV Projection Lamp

L
The projection lamp in your TV is designed to last approximately 10,000 hours. Lamp life will vary depending on the mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage.
When it is time to replace the lamp, the TV displays a message on the screen.
The Lamp and Power lights on the front of the TV also indicate the status of the lamp.
You can purchase replacement lamp number V13H010R02 from your dealer or Epson. Call (800) 873-7766 or visit the Epson Store at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral
Caution
If your picture quality is not what it should be, try the other solutions described in “Picture Problems” on page 112 to correct it. If none of them work, you may need to replace the lamp. However, contact Epson (see page 121) to see if lamp replacement would help before replacing the lamp unnecessarily.
Don’t replace the lamp unless you see a screen message or the Lamp and Power lights indicate lamp replacement, as described in the table below:

Lamp Replacement Precautions

Never touch the projection lamp immediately after turning off the TV or you could be burned.Wait at least 30 minutes after turning off the TV to let the lamp cool down completely.
If the lamp has broken, handle the shards carefully to avoid injury.
The used lamp contains mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put the lamp in the trash.
Install the new lamp securely to avoid an electrical short or other damage. Insert the lamp as described below, pushing it all the way into its slot. Tighten the screws to lock the lamp securely into place or the lamp will not come on.
Do not touch the glass on the lamp with your bare hands. This can shorten the lamp life and obscure the projected image. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.
Do not drop the replacement lamp or bump it against any surface; the lamp could be permanently damaged.

Removing and Installing the Lamp

1 Turn off the TV, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and let it cool down for at least
30 minutes.
