The Issue
If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes,
in fact, have more than one TV.
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger
TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on
the proper TV stands.
Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers,
chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over, causing
unnecessary injury.
We Care!
The consumer electronics industry is committed to
making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
The Consumer Electronics Association formed the
Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee, comprised
of TV and consumer electronics furniture manufacturers, to
advocate children’s safety and educate consumers and their
families about television safety.
Tune Into Safety
One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to
support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components).
Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture
to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).
Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper
use of this product.
Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.
Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control,
or toy) that a curious child may reach for.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program
and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of
your family and friends. Thank you!

Important notes about your DLP™ projection TV
1) The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a
limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture
may become dark or black, or the lamp may fail, at which
time you must replace the lamp unit. See “Lamp unit
replacement” on pages 60-64.
2) Each time you turn on the TV, it may take up to several
seconds to go from no picture to full picture brightness.
3) The display on this TV is manufactured using a chip that may
contain up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors. Each of these
micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a
human hair and represents a single pixel on the television
display. These micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that
enable them to tilt either toward the light source (ON) or
away from it (OFF). Occasionally, one of these mirrors may
become inoperative, creating a light or dark pixel on the
projection surface. This is a structural property of DLP™
projection TV technology, and is not a sign of malfunction.
Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a
normal viewing distance (see item 29 on page 4).
4) Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible,
although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may
see a “rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare
instances, result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence
related to technology of this type, and is not a sign of TV
malfunction.
5) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may
be affected by your viewing position and length of viewing
time. If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may
suffer from eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.
6)This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate
the internal temperature. You may be able to hear
the fans for several minutes after the TV is turned
off. This is a function of the Quick Restart standby mode
and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set the Quick
Restart feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV is
turned off. See “Selecting the Quick Restart” on page 28.
7) The green and red LED lights on the control touchpad (on
the lower right corner of the TV screen) indicate your TV’s
current status. If either light flashes, see “LED indications”
on page 64 for details.
8) Review all safety and operating information in this owner’s
manual before you use your TV.

Connecting an antenna or cable TV
This connection allows you to watch TV programs or basic cable
channels.
Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV
service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors.
Standard A/V (audio/video) cables usually come in sets of three, and
are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for
stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.
On your TV’s back panel, the standard A/V inputs are color-coded in
the same manner as the cables.
S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video output.
Component video cables come in sets of three, and are for use with
video equipment that has component video output. (ColorStream

Note:
For the highest possible picture quality, use
component video cables (or an HDMI cable)
between the TV and DTV receiver/set-top
box.
You can connect component video cables to
either set of ColorStream inputs on the TV
(HD1 or HD2).
For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.
The ColorStream HD1/HD2 and HDMI1/2
inputs can be used with Progressive (480p,
720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan
systems; however, a 1080i signal will provide
the best picture performance.
If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not
compatible with component video or HDMI,
use the S-video connections (plus the
standard audio connections) instead (see
page 11).
The unauthorized recording, use,
distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other
materials is prohibited under the
Copyright Laws of the United States and
other countries, and may subject you to
civil and criminal liability.

EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of
uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital
content protection, which is being standardized for reception
of high-definition video signals. Because this is an evolving
technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate
properly with the TV.
To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset
properly, it is recommended that you follow
these procedures:
• When turning on your electronic components,
turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or
DVI device.
• When turning off your electronic components,
turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and
then the TV.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
