WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the
projection TV to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the
projection TV. Do not open the cabinet. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.
For general safety:
• Do not expose the projection TV to rain or moisture.
• Do not open the rear cover.
Table of contents
Getting Started
For safe installation:
• Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Do not install the projection TV in hot, humid or
excessively dusty places.
• Do not install the projection TV where it may be
exposed to mechanical vibrations.
• 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
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.
• Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
For safe operations:
• Do not operate the projection TV on anything but
110–120/220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
• Do not operate the projection TV if any liquid or solid
object falls in it—have it checked immediately.
• Do not keep the projection TV plugged in if you are
not going to use it for several days.
• Do not pull the power cord to disconnect the
projection TV. Pull it out by the plug.

Caution
• When using TV games, computers, and similar
products with your projection TV, keep the
brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a
fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for
long periods of time 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.
• Avoid touching the screen surface and do not scratch
it with hard objects.
