sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electr ic shock to persons.
CAUTION
How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your
Projection TV
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed
on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV,
resulting in retention of the image in the picture. Please
take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image
retention:
View a variety of program sources or programming
material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program
material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image
will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the
picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness”
levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher
“Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.
Please see page 92 for instructions on adjusting picture
settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Do not expose the TV to dripping or splashing. Avoid placing
liquid-filled objects, such as vases , on top of the TV.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC plug with
an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can
be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
CAUTION
When using Video games, computers, and similar products
with your projection TV, or viewing a TV station whose logo
always stays on the screen, keep the brightness and picture
functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern
such as a station logo is left on the screen for long periods
of time, especially at a high brightness or picture setting,
the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen.
These types of imprints are known as image retention.

convergence. For details, see “Adjusting the Convergence
Automatically (Flash Focus)” on page 42.
Use of this television receiver for other than private viewing of
programs broadcast on UHF or VHF or transmitted by cable

Introducing the Digital Projection TV
Welcome
This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is
shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Digital
Projection TV.
Package Contents Along with your new projection TV, the package contains a remote
control and two AA batteries. No additional cables are included.
These items are all you need to set up and operate the projection TV
in its basic configuration.
Most components (VCRs, DVD players, etc.) come with the necessary
cables to connect them. If you want to set up a complex system, you
may need to buy extra cables, connectors, etc. Be sure to have these
on hand before you start to connect your system.
Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
❑ Built-in Digital Television Receiver: You can w atch d igita l
television programs and enjoy the improved audio/video quality
offered by these programs.
❑ Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio
broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode.
❑ High Definition Signal Reception: Watch TV signals broadcast
in HDTV for the clearest possible broadcast picture.
❑ DRC
❑ Scrolling Index: Lets you select programs from a series of
❑ Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from
®
(Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction V1: Unlike
conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature
replaces the signal’s NTSC waveform with the near-HD
equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal
lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources,
such as DVD, satellite, and digital camcorders. The Video Menu
allows you to select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion™
output. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of
detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three
custom palettes.
preview windows that scroll along the right side of the screen.
sixteen of your favorite channels.
9
❑ Twin View
™
: Using the Multi-Image Driver (MIDX), Twin View
allows you to watch two programs side by side, with the ability
to zoom in one picture. You can watch pictures from two different
sources (1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i) simultaneously. (Only the
left Twin View window can display 1080i, 720p, and 480p
sources.)
❑ ClearEdge VM
™
Velocity Modulation: Sharpens picture
definition by enhancing vertical lines.
❑ Steady Sound
®
: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent
output between programs and commercials.
❑ Memory Stick
®
Viewer: Lets you watch digital photo (JPEG) and
movie (MPEG1) files that are stored on Memory Stick media.
❑ Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD
(480p, 480i), and digital set-top box (HD1080i, 720p) connections.
❑ HD Detailer
™
: Wideband video amplifier has a high bandwidth
frequency rating, which allows it to send more video information
to the screen, resulting in finer picture quality, especially for HD
sources.
❑ CineMotion
™
: Reverse 3-2 pulldown processing provides
optimal picture quality for film-based sources (media originally
shot in 24 frames-per-second format).
❑ Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block
unsuitable programming from younger viewers.
❑ Digital Visual Interface (DVI): Can accommodate a copy-
protected digital connection (HDCP
*
) to other devices (such as
digital set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. The DVIHDTV input terminal is compliant with the EIA-861 standard
and is not intended for use with personal computers.
❑ i.LINK: Provides a secure digital interface to other digital home
entertainment devices. i.LINK allows for the secure transfer of
copyright-protected high-definition content between these
devices and your digital projection television.
