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.

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 such as a station logo 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.

•Avoid touching the screen surface and do not scratch it with hard objects.

Notes

•Since the high quality pictures on a DVD disc contain a lot of information, picture noise may appear. In this case, adjust the sharpness (SHARP) in the VIDEO ADJUST menu. (See page 19.)

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

•If your DVD player can output interlace and progressive mode

signals, select the interlace output when connecting to (component video input) on your TV.

Your TV can receive either 525i/60 Hz or 625i/50 Hz interlace signals.

Connecting an amplifier with Dolby* Pro Logic decoder

Even though you use an amplifier with Dolby Pro Logic decoder instead of the projection TV’s audio system, you can still use the projection TV’s center speaker.
