Important Safety Information

Always be careful when using your TV. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your unit.

Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your TV.

Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

Heed all warnings on the TV and in the operating instructions.

Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.

Do not use the TV where contact with water is possible, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.

Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it can fall. A falling TV can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and more likely to overturn.

The TV is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not put the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not put the TV near a radiator or heat register. If you do put the TV on a rack or

bookcase, make sure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.

Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact an electrician to replace your outlet.

Safety Instructions

Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit from lightning and power-line surges.

Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.

Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.

Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Replacing the Lamp

A Projection TV lamp is a consumable item, and should be replaced from time to time for best projector operation. If the screen image becomes dark, or timer, lamp and Temp LEDs flicker off at the same time, you may have to replace the lamp.

When changing the lamp, you should first verify the type/model, and then use only the correct lamp replacement. The code for lamp regulation and usage is marked on the label. If you remove the lamp, you can identify this replacement code. You should only replace the lamp with the one of the same regulation code.

If you wish to buy a new lamp, please phone your Service Center or a nearby TV dealer, and tell them the model of your projection unit.

You can identify the lamp type on the left side of TV and the lamp cover.

The TV will be damaged if you use a lamp that is different from the original supplied by the manufacturer.

Please don't remove the lamp except when replacing with a new one.

Please turn off TV power before changing a lamp and then unplug after waiting 1 minute.

The cooling fan will help cool the lamp so you can safely remove it. The surface of the Lamp is very hot. Please wait for 30 minutes after turning off your projection TV to handle the lamp.

Please keep the old lamp away from flammable articles and children. Dispose of properly.

Don't allow dirt or dust to accumulate inside the lamp cover or on the Lamp.

A dirty cover or lamp can catch fire, explode and cause electric shock.

Please don't touch the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the lamp container.

If a new lamp is improperly handled, the quality of the screen image can be affected and the expected life span of the lamp can be reduced.

Be sure to tighten the lamp cover on the TV after changing the lamp. Note that the TV will not function if the lamp cover is not securely attached. Please tighten the holding screw on the lamp cover after it has been attached to the TV.

Use a screwdriver to 1 remove the screw as shown in the picture.

2 Remove the Lamp cover.

Use a screwdriver to 3 remove the screws

securing the Lamp. There are 2 screws: one

on the left and one on the right. When the screws have been completely unfastened, they will still be connected to the body of the Lamp.

Separate the Lamp from 4 the engine by holding the

handle and pulling it out.

To reinstall the Lamp, fol- 5 low these steps in reverse

order.

Connecting Cable TV and VCR

You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.

Cable without a Cable Box

If you want to connect cable, and you do not need to use a cable box:

Plug the incoming cable 1 into the ANT-A antenna ter-

minal on the back of the TV.

Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

Find the cable that is con- 1 nected to the ANTENNA

OUT terminal on your cable box. This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT,” “VHF OUT,” or simply, “OUT.”

Connect the other end of 2 this cable to the ANT A antenna terminal on the

back of the TV.

Connecting a Cable Converter Box

This connection allows you to watch cable and premium channels. You should keep your TV selected to ANT-A so that you can use the TV features. When viewing premium channels, select ANT-B and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then use the converter box to change channels. You will need two coaxial cables.

Note: When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you can not program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking channels.

Connecting a Cable Converter Box and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch and record basic and premium cable channels, as well as watch videotapes. You should keep your TV selected to ANT-A so that you can use the TV’s features. When viewing premium channels or recording with the VCR, select ANT-B (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then use the converter box to change channels.

Caution: If you want to record one channel while watching another channel, a splitter (not included) must be added between the cable and ANT-A. One output of the splitter goes to ANT-A and the second output is connected to IN on the cable converter box.

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-video connections and remove the video cable. Do not connect the video cable and the S-video cable to video1 simultaneously.

When you use a converter box with your TV there may be features that you can not program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking channels.
