Important Information Regarding the Use of Video Games, Computers, or Other Fixed
Image Displays

WARNING: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from viewing fixed image is
not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty.

The projection television is designed to display constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous
viewing of stationary images such as letterbox pictures on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars),
non-expanded standard (4:3) pictures on wide screen TVs (with side bars shown on each side of an
image), stock market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the screen), video game patterns, fixed
scoreboards, bright station logos, on-line (Internet) or repetitive computer style patterns should be limited.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause permanent picture tube damage, shown as
a “shadow image” viewable on normal programs. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be
limited by performing the following steps:

• Limit the display of fixed image program material to no more than 15% of total viewing time per week.

• Turn the power off when not in use.

Information Regarding Auto Convergence

This feature is used to automatically adjust convergence. It is
recommended that this feature be used after moving the PTV or
any change of the magnetic field, such as changing PTV location
or adding additional speakers around the PTV.

Note: During auto convergence process the remote control has

no effect.

 Normal picture with

convergence problem.

ENGLISH

AUTO CONV

 Press the button

on the front control panel.

Note: Do not turn PTV off during

Auto Convergence process.

AUTO CONVERGENCE
IN PROCESS

The following diagram shows examples of a misaligned
image and a properly aligned image. Please refer to

pages 24 and 25 for detailed procedure on how to
adjust convergence manually.

Misconverged image

 After auto convergence has

finished the normal picture
will be displayed, with
convergence problem
corrected.

Note: If convergence is not acceptable after auto convergence

is finished, refer to pages 24 and 25 to set convergence
manually.

Information Regarding Convergence

In the projection television, the image is formed by
projecting 3 different color images (red, green and blue)
onto the projection screen. Convergence refers to the

alignment of red, green and blue images on the
projection screen. When these images are properly

aligned (converged), you see a sharp and vibrant color
image. Sometimes, the three images may require
alignment. This is due to the effect of Earth’s magnetic field
on the projection tubes. Normally, adjustment is not
necessary after the initial alignment at the center of the
screen. It is possible to correct the color fringing on other
areas of the screen by using the buttons on the remote
control and by following the on-screen instructions in the
set-up menu. Please converge the images before using the
television for the first time.

Properly aligned image

Note:

• Make sure that the PTV is on for at least 20 minutes
before adjusting convergence, as described on pages 24
and 25.

FCC INFORMATION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B Digital Device in accordance with
the specifications in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against
radio and television interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or
television reception (which you can determine by turning
the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.

INSTALLATION

Television Location

This unit can be used as part of an entertainment center. Consult

your dealer for available options.

• Avoid excessive sunlight or bright lights, including
reflections.

• Keep away from excessive heat or moisture. Inadequate
ventilation may cause internal component failure.

• Fluorescent lighting may reduce remote control
transmitting range.

• Keep away from magnetic equipment, including motors,
fans and external speakers.

Optional Cable Connections

Shielded audio and video cables should be used between
components. For best results:

• Use 75-ohm coaxial shielded cables.

• Use appropriate input and output connectors that match
your component connectors.

• Avoid long cables to minimize interference.

AC Power Supply Cord

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,

MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT
OF AC OUTLET AND FULLY INSERT. DO NOT
USE A PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER
OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO
PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

PROTECT POWER CORDS FROM BEING WALKED ON, ROLLED
OVER, CRIMPED, BENT, OR PINCHED, PARTICULARLY AT PLUGS,
CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES, AND THE POINT WHERE THEY EXIT
FROM THE APPARATUS.

Cable / Antenna Connection

For proper reception, either a cable or antenna connection
is required.

Cable Connection

Connect the cable supplied by your local
cable company. Tighten with fingers only.

Digital TV - Set-Top Box (DTV-STB) or DVD
Connection

This television is capable of displaying 1080i and 540p DTV
signals when connected to a DTV tuner set-top-box (STB). In
order to view DTV programming, the STB must be connected
to the component video inputs (Y,PB,PR) of the television. A
DTV signal must be available in your area. Select the output of
the STB to either 1080i or 540p.

This television also utilizes a progressive scan doubler, which
de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the
thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated
with interlaced TV pictures.
