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

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.

Forced Tuning
If a CableCARD™ is installed, the cable MSO
(multiple system owner/operator) may provide an
Emergency Alert System message. These messages
are intended to alert the general public of important
local or national emergency situations. In the event
of receipt of one of these messages, the Projection
Display shall immediately tune to the channel as
directed by the EAS message. If the channel has
been blocked using the parental control, the parental
blocking has priority over the forced tune.
Getting Start ed
Incorrect battery installation can cause the batteries to
leak, leading to personal injury and/or damage to the
Remote Control.
Observe the following precautions:
1. Always replace batteries with a pair of new ones.
2. Do not combine a new battery with an old one.
3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon”

Procedure
1 Connect the HDMI output on the DVD Recorder or Set Top Box, etc., 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 with HDMI equipped DVD players, Set top boxes and D-VHS machines.)
Notes:
• Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (p. 37)
• The HDMI IN terminals can only be used with 1080i, 1080p, 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 46.
• 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.
