About this manual

The instructions in this manual are for models KP­48V75, KP-53V75, KP-53V75C, and KP-61V75. Before
you start reading this manual, please check your model
number, located at the rear of the projection TV.
Model KP-53V75 is used for illustration purposes in
this manual. Any differences in operation are clearly
indicated in the text, for example "KP-48V75 only".
The differences in specifications are indicated in the
text.

Instrucdons in this manual are based on use of the
remote control. You can also use the controls on the
projection TV if the\- have the same name as those on
the remote control.

4-EN

This projection TV operates on extremely high voltage.
To prevent fire or electric shock please follow the
precautions below.

Safety

• Operate the projection TV on 120 AC (220 V AC for
KP-53V75C) onh'.

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for safet\'
purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one
way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, contact your dealer.

• Should any liquid or solid obiect fall into the cabinet,
unplug the projection TV and ha\ e it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the projection TV from the wall outlet if you
are not going to use it for se\ eral days or more. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never

pull the cord itself.

For details concerning safety precautions, see the supplied
leaflet "IMPORTANT SAFEGU.ARDS".

Note on cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection lY’ with a dry soft

cloth. To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently
with a soft cloth using vertical strokes only. 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 T\’
for a long period of time, it ma\' be necessary to clean the
inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.

Installing

• To prevent internal heat build-up, 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 T\' at temperatures

below 5°C (4UF).

• If the projection TV is transported directly from a cold

to a warm location, or if the room temperature has
changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show
poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on
the mirror or lenses inside. If this happens, let the

moisture evaporate before using 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 reflecting material. If necessary, cover them
with dark carpeting or wall paper.

Notes

• Connect vour DVD player directly to your TV. Connecting the
DVD plaver through other video equipment will cause
unwanted picture noise.

• If vour D\’D player does not have S video output connector,
use composite vidgo connector for the video connection.

• V'ideo signals are composed of Y (luminance) and C (chroma)
signals. The S connection sends the two signals separately
preventing degradation, and gives better picture quality
compared to conventional connections.

• Because the high quality pictures on a D\’D disc contain a lot of
information, picture noise may appear. In diis case, reduce the

SHARPNESS level in the VIDEO menu (see SHARPNESS on

page 31).

Connecting a DVD player with component video output connectors

Component video terminals Y/Cb/Ck provide a

sharper, higher resolution picture by reducing the

Notes

• Connect your DVD player directly to your TV. Connecting the
DVD player through other video equipment will cause
unwanted picture noise.

• When the DVD player is connected using \TDEO 4 IN, its
MONITOR OUT signals cannot be output.

• Some DVD player connectors may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y.
In this case, connect Y (green) on the projection TV to Y on the
DVD player, Cb (blue) to B-Y, and Cr (red) to R-Y.

• The jacks of this projection TV are colored in green (Y), blue

(Cb), and red (Cr). If line output connectors of your DVD player

have different colors, make connections according to their
labels.

• Because the high quality pictures on a DVD disc contain a lot of

information, picture noise may appear. In this case, reduce the
SHARPNESS level in the VIDEO menu (see SHARPNESS on
page 31).

• If the incorrect colors appear when using this component video
input, recheck the connections they may be reversed.
