RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This symbol warns the user that uninsulated voltage within the unit may have suf cient magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any inside part of this unit.
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 guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifi es that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, re, injury to persons or damage to this product:
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.
4) Follow all instructions carefully.
5) Do not use this product 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 fi lled 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 ampli ers) 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 bee 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 fi t 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) Use only attachments/accessories speci ed by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table speci ed 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 quali ed 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.

WARNING
AS WITH ANY SMALL OBJECT, SD CARDS CAN BE SWALLOWED BY YOUNG CHILDREN. DO NOT ALLOW 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/PT-60LC13. 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 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. In 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 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 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.

CAUTION
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. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set.
2. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).
3. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.
4. Battery replacement is necessary when the remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the projection display set.
Helpful Hints:
(1) For frequent remote control users, replace old batteries with Alkaline batteries for longer battery life. (2) Whenever you remove the batteries, you may need to reset the remote control infrared codes. We
rec om mend that you record the code on page 70, prior to setting up the remote.

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 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, recon guration is required after the projection display is connected to the PC.
