Product highlights
100Hz Digital Scan
Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the form of a field flickering picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering.

Progressive Scan

A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending field A to the screen first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the
maximum resolution. At this speed, the human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

HDTV Monitor

HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in
the 1080i or480p signal format. In orderto do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top
box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to
the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning
realism in both picture and sound are delivered!

Saphlon™ Screen

Saphlon™ Screen technology is built with materials and processes that deliver more brightness and picture contrast. It guards against
most scratches and fingerprints and eliminates the glare associated with a separate protective screen.
Auto IntelliSense™ Focus Sensors in the TV scan a predefined test pattern and readjust the signal on the CRTs to assure that red, green and blue are well aligned.

Active Control

With over 3,000 picture adjustments per minute, this ‘proactive control system' continuously analyzes incoming video signal qualities for Dynamic Noise Reduction and sharpness and then automatically corrects them to be like the settings you previously selected in the
picture menu.

APAC

ABAC is designed to minimize the effects of image retention from stationary images on the screen. Because both analog sources (cable TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.), the picture on a digital television may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom. When black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing
mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture pixel-by-pixel, just enough to soften image retention. APAC works in both the
analog and digital modes, so it provides excellent protection.

Installing the TV
O The major benefit of this projection television is its large
viewing screen. To see the large screen at Its best, test various
locations In the room to find the optimal spot for viewing. Be sure to allow a minimum of 15 cm of space around the
TV. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet colour changes, and
Increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot - for example. In direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.
Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort If the speakers are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the TV until there Is no picture distortion.
Q Insert the aerial plug firmly Into the ANTENNA IN 75Q
socket at the rear of the set.
o Insert the mains plug In the wall socket. Refer to the back
of the TV set for the correct operation voltage. Consult your local dealer If your main supply Is different. To prevent damaging the mains (AC) cord, which could cause hazard, do
not place the TV on the cord.
Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or
15 cm near a heating
^^ appliance.

AV3 Digital High-definition Inputs

When you have digital equipment with 1080i on480p signal output (60Hz), connect It to the AV3 Inputs on your TV.
Examples of such equipment are digital set-top boxes and progressive-scan DVD players.

Connecting to AV3

Connect digital equipment with component video output (usually
labeled Y-Pb-Pr) or with RGB output (phono-type connectors) to the AV3 Inputs for video and audio left and right. Also connect to the H and V SYNC Inputs on the TV If required for your digital equipment.
Note: The AV3 sockets are compatible with some digital equipment having RGB outputs with “sync on green" or RGB with “separate H and V sync." Output standards for digital equipment, however, may vary by manufacturer. No industry standards have been established for HD television RGB signal systems, timing, synchronization, and signal strengths. If the digital equipment you want to connect to your
TV offers both component video and RGB outputs, component video is the suggested connection to use. See the handbook for the digital equipment.
Notes regarding connecting to AV3:
♦ For connections to AV3, be sure the TV's colour-space setting
matches the output (Y-Pb-Pr or RGB) of the digital equipment you have connected to the AV3 Inputs.

Care, Cleaning and Tips

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:

Do not leave stationary or “letterbox” images on screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven
picture-tube aging.
Normal use of the TV should Involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing Images that fill the screen. Be
careful not to leave nonmoving Images on screen for extended periods of time or to display the same Images on screen too frequently,
because subtle ghost Images can be left on the picture tubes. Avoid showing the same stationary Images more than 15 percent of your total viewing In any one week. Sources of stationary Images may be DVD discs, laser discs, video games, CD-I discs, videotapes, digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels and others.
Here are some examples of stationary Images (this Is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others In your viewing):
♦ DVD menus - listings of DVD disc content.
♦ “Letterbox” black borders - black bars shown along the edges of the picture when a widescreen (16:9) movie Is played on TV.
♦ Video-game images and scoreboards.
♦ Television station logos - present a problem If they are bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to
cause uneven aging of the picture tube. ♦ Stock-market tickers - presented at the bottom of the TV screen. ♦ Shopping channel logos and pricing displays - bright and shown constantly or repeatedly In the same location on the TV screen.
All picture tubes age with use, with their light output diminishing overtime. But by maintaining normal use—mixing television picture types - you will create conditions for the tubes to age at an even rate. The result will be a TV picture that Is evenly bright over the entire screen.

Placement of the TV

♦ See page 4.

Cleaning

♦ To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV Is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning. ♦ Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to keep the TV clean. ♦ When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Do
not use household cleaners. Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when
cleaning. ♦ Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened In a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap or
detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces. ♦ Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots In the back cover of the set. ♦ Never use thinners. Insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the
cabinet finish.

Tips

♦ Do not shift or move the set around when it is switched on. Unevenness in colour In some parts of the screen may occur.
