IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or back. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

This symbol warns the user that uninsulated voltage within the unit may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any inside part of this unit.

This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the operation and maintenance of this unit has been included. Therefore, it should be read carefully in order to avoid any problems.

The pictorial representation of a hot surface within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside the product are a risk of burns to persons.

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, specifies 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, fire, 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 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.

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.

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. Situate 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 electronics store. 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 firmly to a strong wall support.

Installation Dimensions Diagram

CAUTION

Keep the unit at least 100 mm ( 4˝ ) away from the wall to provide proper ventilation because warm air is discharged. Blocking the ventilation opening of the cooling fan may damage the unit.
