pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
As the owner of a new Rear-Projection Display, you are probably eager to try out your new projector.
Before you do, we suggest that your spend a little time reading this manual to familiarize yourself with the
operating procedures, so that you will receive maximum satisfaction from the many features included in
your new projector.
This owner's manual will acquaint you with your projector's features. Reading it will help us too. Through
the years, we have found that many service requests were not caused by problems with our projectors.
They were caused by problems that could have been prevented, if the owner had followed the instructions
in the manual.
You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your projector fails to work properly, see
"TROUBLESHOOTING" section on page 43 and try the solution marked for each problem.

the equipment and to protect it from overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth of other
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked
by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This projector should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a book case unless proper ventilation is provided.
This projector should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supplied, consult your
authorized dealer or local power company.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything
to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this projector
where the cord may be damaged by persons walking on it.
Never push objects of any kind into this projector through
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the projector to normal
operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance-this indicates a need for service.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that the projector is in safe operating
condition.
This projector is equipped
with a grounding type AC line
plug. Should you be unable
to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your
electrician. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of this
grounding type plug.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
projectors.
For added protection to the projector during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will
prevent damage due to lightning and power line surges.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
If the projector is to be built into a compartment or
similarly enclosed, the minimum distances must be
maintained. Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
projector. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of
your projector, and can also be dangerous. (Refer to
pages 6 and 10.)
