❑ When installing your LCD Projection TV against a

wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.

❑ Avoid installing the LCD projection TV near a

heater, etc.

Projection lamp

❑ Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as

its light source. When the projection lamp wears out after using the LCD projection TV for a long period of time, the screen image becomes dark, or no image will appear on the display. If the lamp replacement indicator of the front panel blinks in red, repla c e the lamp with a new one (not supplied). In some cases, the bulb bursts inside the lamp unit noisily, but the lamp unit is securely designed so that the pieces of broken glass remain inside the lamp unit.
