product.

Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline-operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the

hazard from electric shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

Your TV operates on 120 volts, 60 Hz AC power (normal house power) and has a polarized AC plug. Because one blade of the plug is wider than the other, the plug fits into the wall socket only one way. Do not defeat the safety feature of

this plug. If you need an extension cord, make sure it is polarized.

Caution: To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarized plug on this TV with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless both

blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. Match wide blade of plug to wide slot,

fully insert.

Note: The VCR shelf allows you to position a VCR or other

component on top of your TV. Simply place the shelf on top of your TV as shown above, and then place the VCR on the shelf.

2 Extendback coven

Your projection TV has been specially designed with a

collapsible back cover. This design makes it easier for you to move the TV through doorways because the collapsed

back makes the TV narrower. After the TV is positioned in your home, you can easily extend the back cover to its

normal operating position by following the instructions below.

1 Remove the four wing nuts from the literature bag. 2 Remove the two screws (labeled A) from the shipping

brackets. You will use these screws later in step 6.

Back Collapsed

3 Grasp the shipping brackets and gently pull the back cover

up and out until the locating pins enter the _dignment holes. Keep the back cover tight against the cabinet by holding the shipping bracket on the right side. Then attach wing nut to

built-in hole screw in hole #1. Hand tighten.

4 Hold left shipping bracket and attach wing nut to built-in

screw in hole #2. Hand tighten.

Wooden Rail

5 Attach remaining wing nuts to screws in holes #3 and #4 to

ensure stability and best picture quality.

6 Remove the shipping brackets from the back cover and

attach them to the wooden rail with the two screws (A) from step 2. Reinsert the other two screws from the shipping brackets into the back of the TV as shown, so they will be available in case you need to move your TV and want to

collapse the back again.

Power Interruption Protection Feature

In the first few months of operation, it is normal for your TV to occasionally shut down and immediately turn itself on

again. The picture tubes in this TV (as in all TV's) operate at a very high voltage and at times may arc internally. Your TV will recognize what is happening and will automatically shut

down. This protects the TV's memory from locking up or, in

some cases, being erased. After a shut down occurs, .the

following message will briefly appear on the screen.

Note: This message will also be displayed briefly if power is interrupted due to a loss of power to the TV, such as in an electrical storm or a

brown-out situation.

(Optional)ConvergeyourTV.

Your projection TV has three color projection tubes-one for red, one for green, and one for blue. When mixed together in the proper proportion, the output of these three color tubes

can produce many colors. To produce these colors, the beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the

colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture

beams is called "convergence".

Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of

alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the '1"_/.If you move your TV or notice colored tings or halos

around objects in the picture, you may want to converge

(align) the colors. To simplify convergence, an on-screen menu is provided that

allows you to display a test pattern of lines on the screen.

Properly converged, the lines appear white-which is actually

a combination of the output of the three color tubes. The position of the green lines is stationary. The positions of the red and blue lines are adjustable. When properly adjusted, the red and blue lines should lie directly over the green lines to produce single white lines.

11 Review menusandotherfeatures.

When you feel comfortable with your TV and remote controls, review the menus. Most of the menus are

shown inside the front cover. You can fold this pa.ge out for quick reference while reading the manual.

The Help function on the MASNMENUoffers a variety of help screens to assist you in the connection and operation of your TV. Details .are on page 13.

The rest of this manual can be used as a reference guide with detailed information about each operating control, menu, and function. There is an alphabetical index in

the back for your convenience. Inside of the back cover is a quick-reference operating

guide. This page is designed so it can be removed from the manual.

OperatingRemoteControls

Before attempting to operate either one of the remote controls, install the batteries as shown below.

Installing/ReplacingBatteries 1 Turn each remote control face down.

2 Press down on the ridged area of each battery cover and slide

it off.

Usingthe RemoteControls

Aim either remote control at your TV's remote control sensor (located behind the TV screen). The remote controls produce an invisible (infrared) beam that travels in a straight line much as the beam of a flashlight. For this reason, when operating either one of the remote controls, you must point it directly at the front of the TV without objects between that can block the infrared light beam.

3 Install the "AAA" batteries in each compartment as shown.

4 Replace the covers and turn remotes over (face up).

Notes: Replace the batteries when the TV fails to respond to the remote control.

If you programmed your master remote to control other components, you may have to reprogram the code numbers when you change batteries.

Try not to press any buttons while changing batteries. Never place anything heavy on top of the remote control or lay it upside-

down. This may accidentally depress the buttons for a long time and discharge the batteries.

Do not mix new and used batteries or different brands of batteries. If battery leakage occurs, wipe up the liquid inside the compartment and

replace the batteries with new ones.

• Select the Prologic mode to fully utilize a Dolby surround

encoded source. Prologic produces a more realistic "theater- like" sound experience in the home by using dedicated center,

right, left, and surround channels. Prologic also electronically decodes the predominant audio channel and automatically emphasizes that channel's volume. The result is greater perceived channel separation and the sensation of wider and

more realistic three-dimensional sound. Details are on

pages 32-33.

Note: Prologic works best with Dolby surround encoded material, but will produce clearer dialog and better stereo imaging even on normal stereo material.

even on normal stereo material.
