Now to Reduce the Risk of "Image Retention"

on the Screen

Pleasetake the following steps to reduce the risk of onus#N
image retention:

- When using video games, computers, an_ 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. [See page 62 fo_
instructions on adjusting Brightness and Picture settings.)

• View a variety of programming material. Changing the

program material viewed reduces the possibility that a
single image will become imprinted on the screens.

• This TVwas designed primarily for viewing TVbroa@asts

in wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio). Therefore when

viewing conuentionam (4:3} aspect ratio TV programs,

select Wide Mode settings that fill the image oe your
screen. This wilmreduce the possibility of the gray sidebars
becoming permanently imprinted.

Please see page 62 for instructions on adjusting piclure
settings. See pages 5344 for information about using Wide

Mode.

Welcome

This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is
shipped and provides an overview of the features of your projection

TV.

Package Contents Along with your new projection TV, the package contains a remote

control and two AA batteries. No additional cables are fircluded.
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 e@oy with your new TV include:

[] Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio

broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode.

[] DRC @(Digital Reality Creation) Multiftmction: Ul_like

conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature
replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the 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 TM output.

[] Favorite C]hannels: Allows you to preview and select from 16 of

your favorite channels.

[] 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 TM Velocity Modulation: Sharpens picture

definition by enhancing vertical lines.

[] Steady Sound@: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent

output between programs and commercials.

[] ComponentVideoInputs:OffershighqualityvideoforDVD

(480p,480i),anddigitalset-topbox(HD1080i,720p)connections.

[] HD DetailerT_:Widebandvideoamplifierhasahighbandwidth

frequencyrating,whichallowsittosendmorevideoinformation

tothescreen,resultinginfinerpicturequalit_especiallyforHD

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.

[] HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): Provides tan

uncompressed, al!-digital audio/video interface between this TV
and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-

top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI supports
enhanced, or high-definition video, plus two-channel digital

audio.

Forbest results, use one of the following connections if you are connecting a
cable or an antenna and you:

[] Do not need a cable box to unscramble chanrtels. (If you have a

cable box, see pages 18-20.)

[] Do not intend to connect a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 24

and 26.)

The connection you choose depends on the cable type you have in

Forbest results, usethis connection if:

[] Your cable comparly scrambles some cham_els, such as premium

channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not
scramble all channels.

[] You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 24 and 26.)

With this connectionyou can:

[] Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through

the cable box to the TV's AUX input jack. (You must first program
the remote control for your specific cable box; see "Programming
the Remote Control" on page 46.)

[] Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly

into the TV's VHF/UHF input. (The TV's tuner provides a better
signal than the cable box.)

With this connection, you can use a!l the dua! picture features for unscrambled channels
coming directly into the TV's VHF/UHF input iack_

However, you can use only some of the dual picture features for channels coming

through the cable box to the TV'sAUX input jack For example, when you switch the TV's

input to AUX -- to select the cable box input -- the picture displays only in the left

window_ For example, if you turn on Twin View, you can watch cable channels coming

into the VHF/UHF jack in the right window, but you cannot swap the pictures between

the left and right windows.

Notes on Using This Connection

Toconnect the cable box and cable

the cable box's input jack. (The TV's internal converter lets you
switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV

and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box,
eliminating the need for an external splitter.)

3 Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box's output jack to the

TV's AUX jack.
