This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

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 TV 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 contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non­moving) pattern such as a station logo is left on the
screen for long periods of time, especially at a high
brightness or contrast setting, the image can be
permanently imprinted onto the screen. These types of
imprints are not covered by your warranty because
they are the result of misuse.

Note on Caption Vision

This television receiver provides display of television
closed captioning in accordance with §15.119 of the
FCC rules.

Note on convergence adjustment

Before you use your projection TV, make sure to adjust
convergence. For details, see page 15.

Note to CATV system installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that

particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Use of this television receiver for other than private
viewing of programs broadcast on UHF or VHF or
transmitted by cable companies for the use of the
general public may require authorization from the
broadcaster/cable company and/or program owner.

Precautions

Installing and Connecting the Projection TV (continued)

Safety

• Operate the projection TV only on 120 V
AC.

• The plug is designed, for safety purposes,
to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• If any liquid or solid object should fall
inside the cabinet, unplug the projection
TV immediately and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before
operating it further.

• If you will not be using the projection TV
for several days, disconnect the power by
pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the
cord.

For details concerning safety precautions, see the
supplied leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.”

Note on cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a
dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the
screen, wipe it gently 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 the inside of the
projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.

Installing

• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.

• Do not install the projection TV in a hot
or humid place, or in a place subject to
excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

• Avoid operating the projection TV at
temperatures below 5° C (41° F).

• If the projection TV is transported
directly from a cold to a warm location,
or if the room temperature changes
suddenly, the picture may be blurred or
show poor color. In this case, please wait
a few hours to let the moisture evaporate
before turning on the projection TV.

• To obtain the best picture, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or direct
sunlight. It is recommended to use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling
or to cover the windows that face the
screen with opaque drapery. It is
desirable to install the projection TV in a
room where the floor and walls are not of
a reflective material.

Making Connections

Connecting directly to a cable or an antenna

The connection you choose will depend on
the cable found in your home. Newer homes
will be equipped with standard coaxial cable
(see

A); older homes will probably have 300-

ohm twin lead cable (see
homes may contain both (see C).
Use 75-ohm coaxial cable for improved
picture quality (see

by the primary VCR to the second VCR or
perform tape editing and dubbing.

1 Connect the VCR intended for playback

using the connection instructions on page
6 of this manual.

2 Using an AUDIO/VIDEO cable, connect

AUDIO and VIDEO IN on the VCR
intended for recording to AUDIO and
VIDEO OUT of MONITOR OUT on the
