Before Operating Your Rear Projection Television

Location

For normal operation, your RPTV should be set up in the room where cool, adequate ventilation is provided. Do
not position the back of the RPTV in a place where free airflow is restricted.

Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, speakers, electric clocks, toys using

magnets or any other magnetic equipment, such as an iron are kept well away from this RPTV.

Power

Your RPTV operates on AC 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (normal household current in the USA) and has a polarized plug. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it does not fit, contact an electrician. Do
not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

If the RPTV is not used for a long period, unplug the RPTV from the wall outlet to economize power.
(If the RPTV is plugged in, slight current still flows, even with the POWER button in the OFF position.)

When a FM tuner or radio is located near the RPTV Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast
images when radio and TV broadcasts are received at the same time. If video noise more appears, turn off either
the RPTV or the radio.
If you are listening to AM broadcasts, turn the RPTV off. Some AM broadcast signals may not be received due to
interference from the RPTV.

3

Viewing

Your TV is best viewed by sitting directly in front of it about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. The brightness decreases
as the viewer moves to the left or to the right of the set.

During the daytime, reflections from light outside may appear on the screen. Drapes or screens can be used to
reduce the reflection or the RPTV can be placed in a different location of the room.

If the RPTV's audio output is connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio performance will
be obtained by placing the speakers on each side of the set at an equal distance as well as on a height which is
equal to that of the screen center. For best stereo separation, first place the external speakers at least four feet

from each side of the RPTV, then place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Due to the
differences in room sizes and acoustic environments some experimentation regarding speaker placement for best
performance will be required.

Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

1. Open the battery cover.
Pull up the lid in the
direction of the arrow.

2. Load the batteries. Insert
two "AA" size batteries

supplied so that the battery
poles are positioned as
Indicated.

3. Close the battery cover
Lower the lid in the direc­tion of the arrow.

4

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning the Screen

The screen of the RPTV has been specially treated. To clean users should wipe the surface gently using only a
cleaning or a soft, lint-free cloth. If the surface is particularly dirty, use a little water on the cloth (never directly on
the screen), then wipe the screen with it.
Reminders:

Do not use substances such as glass cleaners, solvents and/or thinners.

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the screen with fingers or any hard objects.
The screen of the RPTV is made of specially coated plastic and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or
ammonia-based window cleaners. Scratches on the bezel or screen are not covered by the warranty.

Cleaning the Exterior

The RPTV is cooled by air circulated through the vents in the case so for optimized performance, keep the vents
clear of dust. To clean, turn off and unplug the RPTV, then brush the dust away from the vents with a damp cloth.
Be careful not to drip any water into the vents.
Reminders:

Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside of the RPTV.

Do not use abrasives or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on the components.

Do not allow any excessive water or moisture to come into contact with the surface of the DLP TV. If water or

moisture gets inside the RPTV, operating problems and electrical hazards may result.

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the screen with fingers or any hard objects.

Do not place articles made of rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods of time.

5

Antenna Connections

TTo fully utilize the various features provided, such as the 2- Tuners Picture In Picture System, UNIVERSAL PLUS,

and some connectors for high-quality VCR/DVD playback, set up this unit properly by following the procedures
below.

Remote Control

The Remote Control is compatible with various VCR/DVD players and other manufacture's AV equipment by

setting the correct control code. (Page 38~49)

Antennas

The antenna required for good color RPTV reception are more important than those for black & white television

reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

Type of connector

1. The 75 ohm system generally uses a round cable with an F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools
(not supplied) The F-type connector should be finger tightened
only.

2. The 300 ohm system uses a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be
attached to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR
(not supplied)

A good color picture depends on a strong TV signal. Ask your dealer for advice on how to install your external

antenna to receive the best possible signal.

If you subscribe to Cable or Satellite TV or have a central antenna in your building, you may not need an external

Antenna.

Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the RPTV, make sure that the antenna or cable system
is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges. Please refer to the
operating or operation manual of your antenna or cable system for further information.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
