How to reduce the risk of “Image Rete ntion” on your Projection TV

Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV, resulting in retention of the image in the picture.

Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image retention:

View a variety of progr a m sources or programming material.

Image retention can occur when brigh t stationary images such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.

When viewing programs with stationary images, ad just the picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness” levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher “Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.

Please refer to your instruction manual for instructions on adjusting picture settings.

This will help you reduce the risk of causing image retention.

IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY

This document is for the remote control RM-Y909. MODELS: KP-51HW40, KP-57HW40 Please keep this notice with the instruction 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:

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.

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.

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.

Attachments

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

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.
