Important Information

(1) The long time (max. 2 hours) use of a TV game on this set is not recommended, since the signal from

the TV game may cause damage to the picture projection tubes of the set.

(2) Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-

image to remain on the Wide Projection TV screen.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images and teletext.
If still picture cannot be avoided, reduce the brightness and contrast levels of the picture to minimize

any damage that might occur.
(3) In order to minimize any damage to the projection tubes, this set uses the PICTURE SHIFT function

(Refer to page 27) to change (shift) the entire picture approximately 2 mm every 15 minutes.

Troubleshooting

Projection TV screen

Symptoms

After-images appear

Checks

Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the Wide Projection TV screen.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.

Note:

The permanent after-image on the Wide Projection TV screen resulting from fixed image use
is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.

Cleaning

To ensure continued excellent performance by this product, periodic cleaning is recommended.

The unit contains many plastic
parts. For this reason DO
NOT use benzine, thinner or
other chemicals to clean the
unit.

DO NOT bring into contact
with insecticide or other
volatile substances.
DO NOT allow the unit to
come into contact for
extended periods with rubber
or vinyl products.

Dust will accumulate on the
picture screen. Please wipe
with a soft cloth from time to
time. If you use a chemically
treated cloth, please be
to follow the instructions that
come with the cloth.

Remove dirt and soiling by
wiping with a light cloth.
Even if the unit is heavily
soiled, do not apply cleaner
directly to the unit. Soak a
cloth in a solution of neutral
cleanser thinned with water.
Then wring out the cloth, wipe
the unit clean, and finish by
wiping with a dry cloth.

Do not use any type of
cleansers on the picture
screen.
