Before Operating Your Rear Projection TV

Location

• For normal operation, your Rear Projection TV should be set up in the room where cool, adequate
ventilation is provided. Do not position the back of the Rear Projection TV in a place where free airflow is
restricted.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, speakers, electric clocks,
toys using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as an iron are kept well away from this Rear
Projection TV .

Power

Your Rear Projection TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (normal household current in the USA) and has a
polarized plug. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it does not
fit, contact an electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

• If the Rear Projection TV is not used for a long period, unplug the Rear Projection TV from the wall outlet to

Note

economize power. (If the Rear Projection TV is plugged in, slight current still flows, even with the POWER button in
the OFF position.)

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near the Rear
Projection TV and radio and TV broadcasts are received at the same time. Should such noise appear, turn off either
the Rear Projection TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to AM broadcasts, turn the Rear Projection TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received
due to the interference of the Rear Projection TV.

Convergence

Your Rear Projection TV may need to be converged after being installed in your home. Please follow the
simple instructions on page 53.

Before Operating Your Rear Projection TV (Continued)

Viewing

The main feature of the Rear Projection TV is its large viewing screen. To be able to enjoy this large
screen at its best, test the Rear Projection TV by placing it in various different parts of the room, in which it
will be set, to find the ideal spot for viewing.

It is best viewed by sitting directly in front of the Rear Projection TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the
screen. The brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left or to the right of the set.

During the daytime, reflections from light outside may appear on the screen. Drapes or screens can be
used to reduce the reflection or the Rear Projection TV can be placed in a different part of the room.

If the Rear Projection TV’s audio output is connected to a Hi-Fi system’s external speakers, the best audio
performance will be obtained by placing the speakers on each side of the set at an equal distance as well
as on a height which is equal to that of the screen center. For best stereo separation, first place the
external speakers at least four feet from each side of the Rear Projection TV, then place the surround
speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Due to the differences in room sizes and acoustic
environments some experimentation regarding speaker placement for best performance will be required.

Before using the Rear Projection TV, prepare the remote control.

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

1 Open the battery cover .

Pull up the lid in the direction
of the arrow.

2 Load the batteries.

Load the two “AA” size batteries
supplied so that the battery poles

and are positioned as

indicated.

3 Close the battery cover.

Lower the lid in the direction
of the arrow.

Antenna Connections

• To fully utilize the various features provided, such as the 2-Tuner POP System, UNIVERSAL PLUS, and some connectors for high-quality
VCR/DVD playback, set up this unit properly by following the procedures below.

Universal Remote Control

• The UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL can be compatible with various VCR/DVD player and CATV converter brands by setting the correct
control code.

UNIVERSAL PLUS

• The VCR/DVD input mode is selected by pressing the VCR/DVD player PLAY button on the UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL.

• To use this UNIVERSAL PLUS function, the settings on page 49 must be set in advance.

Antennas

• The antenna requirements for good color Rear Projection TV reception are more important than those for black & white television
reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

Type of connector

1. The 75 ohm system generally uses a round cable with an
F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (not supplied). The F-type connector should

be finger tightened only.

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2. The 300 ohm system uses a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be
attached to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm
ADAPTOR (not supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

• Switching between ANTENNA-A and ANTENNA-B is possible by pressing the ANT-A/B button on the remote control.

• A good color picture depends on a good TV signal, and so does good multi-channel sound. Ask your dealer for advice on how to
install your external antenna to receive the best possible signal.

• If you subscribe to Cable TV or have a central antenna in your building, you may not need an external antenna.

LED will start to blink. (This is to inform that there is the possibility that the TIMER
is not or was not active during the blackout.)
To stop the LED from blinking, reset the current time, and set the STATUS to OFF.

• Once the TV-ON TIME becomes activated, the STATUS automatically goes back to

OFF. (The time the TV was set to turn on will not be cleared).

How to set Closed Caption

• Your Rear Projection TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed Caption” is a
system which allows you to view conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home
videos as subtitles on your Rear Projection TV screen.

• Not all programs and videos offer closed caption. Please confirm whether the Closed Caption system
applies to the broadcast program or the video tape you are watching. (The mark signifies
compatibility with the Closed Caption system.)

• Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two
channels are available, CH1 and CH2.

• The CAPTION mode displays subtitles for dialogue in TV programs while
allowing clear view of the picture.

• The TEXT mode superimposes other information (such as TV program schedules,
weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs, in the picture.
