About the LCD Projection TV
Although the LCD projection TV is made with highprecision technology, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly
on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the
LCD 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 LCD projection TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or
direct sunlight.
❑ The picture quality may be affected by your viewing
position. Sit at least approx. 5.9 ft. (1.8 m) for KF42WE620 or approx. 6.6 ft. (2.0 m) for KF50WE620 away from your LCD projection TV, and
within 60° of the vertical and 130° of the horizontal

❑ Your LCD projection 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 bulb 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 15.)
❑ When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear
a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is
inherent in this type of lamp.
Cooling fan
❑ This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You
may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the
placement of your LCD projection TV. The noise
may be more noticeable during the night or when the
background noise level is low.

Installing and Connecting the LCD Projection TV
✍ For optimum picture quality, a 75-ohm coaxial cable antenna connection
is highly recommended. Radio waves and other interference can easily
affect a 300-ohm twin lead cable, resulting in signal deterioration. If you
use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the
LCD projection TV.
✍ Do not use an indoor antenna; they are especially susceptible to radio
noise.
