Important Safeguards

For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe and comply with all w arnings, cautions and instructions placed on the set or described in the operating instructions or service manual.

WARNING

To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.

Use

Power Sources

This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or P olarization

This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions below:

For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug

This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electric ian to ha ve a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized pl ug by forcing it in.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or e lectric shock.

Always turn the set off when it is not being used. When the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, un plug it from the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.

If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is continuous or frequent while the TV is operating, unplug the TV and c onsult your dealer or service technici an. It is normal for some TV sets to make occasional snappin g or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the set through the 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 set.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Alternate Warning for the set with a threewire grounding type AC plug

This plug will only fit into a groundingtype power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gent ly with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean th e inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

Cable Box Connections

Cable Box and Cable

This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:

❑

Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable box, and

❑

You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.

With this setup you can:

❑

Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your cable box when the signal is scrambled.

❑

Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

❑

Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one channel is sent to the proj ecti on TV, so yo u can no t use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)

Connect the Cable TV cable to the projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV’s TO CONVERTER

jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The projection TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.

Use this hookup if:

❑

You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

❑

You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your projection TV.

When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled channel is sent to the projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup on page 17 instead.

Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable

box’s IN jack. Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the TV’s

VHF/UHF jack.

Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the VCR’s

IN jack. Using AUDIO and S VIDEO cables, connect the VCR’s AUDIO and S

VIDEO OUT jacks to the projection TV’s AUDIO and S VIDEO IN jacks.

Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the projection

TV’s AUX jack.

Problem Possible Remedies

Y ou get the same program in the window picture as in the main picture

You cannot get anything but TV channels in your second picture

Favo rite Channe l do es no t display your choi ces

Some video sources do not appear when you press TV/

VIDEO

❏ Both may be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in either the main

picture or the window pi cture.

❏ You may be running all your channels through a cable box. The cable box will

only unscramble one signa l at a time, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If possible, run a direct cable to your projection TV’s VHF/UHF input (this will only work if your cable system pr ovides an unscrambled signal).

❏ Be sure the video label has not been set to skip your video inputs. See the Setup

menu on page 63.

❏ Verify that F avorite Channel is set to Manual in the Channel menu (see

“Favorite Channel” on page 52).

❏ Ensure that Video Label is not set to SKIP (see “Video Label” on page 64).
