Operating Instructions
LSQT1078 B
Note to CATV System Installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
1) Read these instructions before using, connecting or adjusting this product.
2) Keep these instructions for future reference.
3) Heed all warnings on the product and in this Operating Instructions manual.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, and the like. Do not place objects filled with water, such as a vase or the like, on top of this unit.
6) Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation and to protect it from overheating. Never block openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa or similar surfaces.
8) Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produces heat. Do not install in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15) Because the temperature of the lamp unit is elevated immediately after its use, a direct touch to it may cause burns. Replace the lamp unit only after it has cooled.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
WARNING
AS WITH ANY SMALL OBJECT, SD CARDS CAN BE SWALLOWED BY YOUNG CHILDREN. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO HANDLE THE SD CARD.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS FILLED WITH WATER, SUCH AS A VASE OR THE LIKE, ON TOP OF THIS APPARATUS.
CAUTION
(1) This Projection Display is intended to be used with the following TV stand: model TY-44LC65C for the PT-44LCX65,
TY-52LC65C for the PT-52LCX35 or PT-52LCX65, TY-52LC35 for the PT-52LCX35 or PT-52LCX65, and TY-61LC65C for the PT-61LCX65 or PT-61LCX35. 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 Projection Display 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 is a consumable item and has a life. The lamp should be changed as soon as possible once the lamp warning message appears. (See page 66.) If the lamp is damaged, please contact your nearest dealer.
Getting Start ed
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. Influences 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.)

Receiver Location
Accessories
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 reflections) will fall on the screen. Use of some types of fluorescent 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.

Notes:
• This unit contains Video and Audio Outputs for the purpose of recording television programming to VCR. Due to license restrictions, if a device (STB, DVD, etc.) is connected to the HDMI input of the unit, no video or audio output is allowed.
• AV Out signal is available when receiving digital channel. However, all formats will be down converted to NTSC.
• Never connect the VIDEO IN and OUT terminals to the same video recorder, as this could cause incorrect operation.
• Even if unit is in Split mode, OUT terminals only output the main picture and sound signals. A sub-picture, etc., will not be output.
• AV terminals will not output Y, PB, PR, PC/HDMI IN or SD card signals.
• Certain program content output from the AV Out connector may have the Macrovision signal modification applied to its signal, preventing VCRs from recording this video signal.

How to connect the HDMI input terminal
About HDMI
HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standard, enhanced and high definition video format as well as all existing multi-channel audio formats. One jack supports both video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP*1 input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861/861B*2 compliant consumer electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of this unit, high definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i formats. Select the output of the connected device to match that of the unit.

Procedure
1 Connect the HDMI output from the set top box or a DVD player to the HDMI input on the back of the unit.
• If you cannot display the picture because your Digital Set Top Box does not have a Digital Out terminal setting, use the Component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). In this case, the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.
2 Press TV/VIDEO to select HDMI input.
By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminals of this Projection Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is for use in the future when High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)
Notes:
• Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 32)
• The HDMI IN terminals can only be used with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i picture signals.
• If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.
• Be sure HDMI is securely connected. If not, picture noise and/or incorrect picture display may result.
• With HDMI connection, depending on the signal, the picture may be displayed with unnatural colors (as if red and blue are reversed). Refer to “Color Corr.” on page 41.
• If the external device has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable*1.
• When the DVI to HDMI adaptor cable*1 is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
*1 Enquire at your local digital device retailer shop.
