P O W E R

About the TV

Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a defect.

Installation

❑ If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen,

part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural property of the TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.

❑ The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For

the best picture quality, install your TV according to “Recommended Viewing Area” on page 15.

❑ Leave some space around your TV. Otherwise, adequate

air-circulation may be blocked causing overheating and cause fire or damage the unit. For details, see “When Installing Your TV against a Wall” on page 14.

Projection Lamp

❑ Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to

replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:

• the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,

• screen images become dark,

• no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

❑ In rare instances, the b ulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp

unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 104.)

❑ When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop

sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.

Enjoying Your TV

Introducing the TV

To enjoy your TV for years to come and maintain its original picture quality, you should perform periodic maintenance.

Notes on the TV To enjoy clear picture

Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly on to the

❑

screen.

❑ The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with

sharp or abrasive objects (see “On Contamination on the Screen Surface” on pages 6).

When not using the TV for a long period of time

Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using

Connecting the TV

Overview

Your new SXRD projection TV can receive both analog and digital broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV.

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and choose the correct display format (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page

53). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

About Using HDMI to DVI Adapter

If you are connecting equipment with a DVI connector to this TV, you will need to use an adapter. You can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable or an HDMI adapter (not supplied). Both are available at your local electronics store. When you use the adapter, you will also need to use separate audio cables for sound because the DVI connector carries video signals only.
