HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW

MARANTZ DLPTM REAR PROJECTION TV

ANTENNA

Unless your Rear Projection TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the Rear Projection TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the MARANTZ Rear Projection Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the Rear Projection TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and right of the receiver.

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the Rear Projection TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the Rear Projection TV’s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system’s external speakers, the best audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the Rear Projection TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance.

No.	Items	Notes
1	Lamp Explosion	This set has a 200W lamp. The lamp rarely breaks. If it does, it will make a pop noise.
2	On time	It takes time (17 seconds) to display picture on television compared to a conventional color tele-
		vision. LED at the front panel indicates the set is under power on condition. (See note on page 8)
3	Restart time	It takes about 60 seconds for the picture to re-appear, after quickly pressing power OFF
		then ON again. Three LEDs indicate the set is under power on condition. On: Three LED’s
		blink alternately. Off: One LED blinks.
4	When power off	Fans will keep working for about 2 minutes after power OFF to cool down the lamp.
5	Lamp replacement	It is recommended that you replace the lamp every 4000 hours to obtain good picture bright-
		ness (This is not a guarantee that life time of a lamp is 4000 hours).
6	Bright and	This set has fixed pixel elements. There may be some dark/bright spots on the
	dark spot	element. However, this is not a defect.
7	Streaks in	Please set proper signal strength. You may see streaks in picture on some channels without
	Picture	proper antenna. Streaks may disappear when signal is strong. Place antenna and cable
		away from the AC power cord.
8	Bend, tilt	Due to varying signal content, you may see vertical or horizontal lines bend occasionally in
		PC mode. However, this phenomenon is not a defect. It’s caused by a lack of picture content
		due to under-scanning in PC mode.
9	PC mode	This set provides the best picture quality in SVGA mode. It is recommended that you set your
		PC to SVGA mode. In OVERSCAN mode, top/bottom icon will be approximately 19% to 50%
		within the viewable area, and should be accessible to grab and click. Picture is overscanned
		when receiving XGA or higher resolution signals.
10	Burning	Please do not leave the TV set with still pictures like games, stock market qutoes, and other
		non-moving pictures. Otherwise it may cause a pattern burn on the screen.
11	Protect Operation	When the lamp is cooling down, the remote control does not respond within 15 seconds. LED at
	when power on	the front panel shows if your set accepts remote commands. When blinking is slow, your set is
		ready to accept remote commands.
12	Please do not	There is a color wheel spinning at high revolution in the television set. It may be broken if you
	move your set	move your set before setting power off.
	when it is on
13	Input/PinP	The television CPU sets picture blanking to hide unnecessary noise, until it becomes stable.
	mode change
14	OSD position/size	OSD position/size change according to the picture aspect format, when watching a component
		(Y-PBPR) signal. SDTV (480P): OSD aspect changes when screen format is changed. HDTV
		(720P): OSD expands horizontally. (Both edges of OSD may be hidden according to
		circumstances.)
15	Cooling Fan/	Your DL5500 is designed with cooling fans to provide air circulation for the optical engine
	Color Wheel	and a rotating component called the color wheel as part of the optical system. Under certain
	noise	viewing conditions, as in a quiet room during scenes with no audio or low volume level, the
		sound generated by the fans or color wheel may be audible. This is a normal operating condition.

The Dual Tuner can operate with only one input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

ANT A input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. ANT B can only be viewed as a main picture. (Component: Y-PBPR input can be viewed as sub-picture only when SPLIT PIP mode is selected.) To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The highlighted channel display will move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the top channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-picture. This method of picture tuning is the same for one antenna input (ANT A only) and two antenna inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

The Picture-in-Picture feature is convenient when you want to watch more than one program at the same time. You can watch a TV program while viewing other programs from the ANT A source or any of the video inputs.
