Important Safeguards

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

Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions placed on the set or described in the operating instractions 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 Polarization

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 electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug 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 electric 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, unplug 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 consult your dealer or service technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make occasional snapping 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 grounding-

type 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 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.

Installation

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories

Do not pllce the set on an unstable

cart, stand, table or shelf. The set

may fall, causing serious injury to a

child or an adult and serious damage

to the set. Use only a cart or stand

recommended by the manufacturer

for the specific model of projection

TV. An appliance and cart

combination should be moved with

care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and

combination to overturn.

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 projection TV, so you can not use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)

1 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.
