CHILDREN TO HANDLE THE SD CARD.
CAUTION
(1) This projection display is intended to be used with the following TV stand: model TY-50LC13C for the PT-50LC13.
Use with other stands may result in the projection display becoming unstable, possibly causing injury.
(2) This projection display should not be exposed to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures or moisture, as this can
result in serious irreparable damage.
(3) This product has a High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp that contains a small amount of mercury. It also contains
lead in some components.
Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries Alliance:
<http://www.eiae.org.
>
The lamp has a maximum life of about 10 000 hours.
If use exceeds this fi gure, the possibility of lamp damage becomes greater.
The lamp should be changed as soon as possible once the lamp warning message appears.
If the lamp is damaged, please contact your nearest dealer.
Due to the characteristics and use conditions of in di vid u al lamps, the lamp may cease to light before the
stated lamp life.
Infl uences of fre quent light ing, continuous light use for over 24 hours, the number of times lit, the length of
time between lightings, etc. may shorten lamp life.
(Because of this, we recommend having a replacement lamp on hand.)

Before Using
Receiver Location
This projection display is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for
available options.
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including refl ections) will fall on the
screen.
Use of some types of fl uorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or
moisture.
Optional External Equipment
The Video / Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best
performance, video cables should utilize 75 Ω coaxial shielded cables. Cables are available from your dealer or
electronic supply house.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various
com po nents require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.
Safety Precaution
Please take safety precautions to prevent the unit from
falling over.
WARNING
The unit may tip or fall if not situated on a stable
surface, if pushed or during an earthquake. Use a
strong rope or chain (not included) to fasten the
projection display fi rmly to a strong wall support.
Viewing position
To optimize your viewing comfort, please follow the viewing guidelines shown in the diagrams below.
If viewing for an extended period of time, sit as far back from the screen as possible.

Notes on con nec tions
• Turn off the power supply for all com po nents before making any connections.
• If the cables necessary for connecting a component to the system are not included with the component or available as an
option, you may need to fashion a cable to suit the component concerned.
• Read the instruction manual for each system component care ful ly before connecting it.
• If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal input from the video source, the picture on the screen may fl icker. In this case, it will
be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).

Notes:
• Input signals, other than those listed with a * mark, will give you a beautiful, stable picture.
• The D-SUB15P connector can accept RGB (H-V sync separate) and RGB (sync on green). However, it is not guaranteed to
display stable color when using RGB (sync on green).
• When used with an external video processor/scaler, it must have RGB (H-V sync separate) output.
• A “♦” mark indicates signals that can be input with DIGITAL IN.
• If your PC (with DIGITAL IN terminal) does not support Plug-and-Play (DDC1/2B) for displays, reconfi guration is required after
the projection display is connected to the PC.
