1 Introduction

Features

• Huge 56-inch screen.

• HDTV 16:9 Aspect Ratio.

• Only 18.9 inches / 480 mm deep.

• 75.9 lbs/34.5kg light.

• Bright flicker free picture.

• 480P, 720P, 1080I and HDTV signal compatibility.

• 480i support for old NTSC television.

• 640x480 VGA, 800x600 SVGA, 1024x768 XGA computer signal compatibility.

• When displaying film-based media the TV automatically converts the content using 2:3 Pull

Down to minimize motion artifacts to produce a stunning picture.

• Uses DCDi™ Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing for state-of-the-art conversion of interlaced (NTSC
or 1080i HD) to progressive scan.

• DVI input with HDCP for the best display of Digital Video from components such as the VINC
award winning Bravo Multi-Media Player that is recognized as providing the best picture from
DVD and CD.

• High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) will be used for HD Programs and Movies
and the HDTV needs this feature to be able to display the picture.

• Two HD Component Video inputs automatically synchronize to the input.

• Compatible with HDTV from an external HDTV box with DVI, RGB or Component Video

outputs.

• Picture-In-Picture (PIP) modes allow simultaneous display of multiple programs.

• Digital Zoom to make the picture fill the screen. The 16:9 aspect of HDTV translates to a ratio

of 1.77 but widescreen movies are filmed at a ratio of 2.35 and this is the reason there are still
black bars at the top and bottom of the HDTV screen when playing widescreen DVD’s. Using
Digital Zoom can eliminate these black bars although the edges of the picture will be lost.

Important Safeguards

• Read all the Safety Instructions and the User Manual before using the DLP TV. Keep these instructions in a safe
place for future reference.

• To avoid the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other
components to the DLP TV.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the DLP TV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the DLP TV. Do not
use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning the product. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

• When moving the DLP TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may

form on the housing. Do not turn on the DLP TV immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or
component damage. Do not use the DLP TV near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool or in a wet basement.

• Do not place the DLP TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the DLP TV falls, it can injure a person and cause
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
DLP TV.

• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between the DLP TV and any heat source, i.e. radiator, heater,
oven, amplifier etc.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation
of the DLP TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place
the DLP TV on a bed, sofa, or similar surface. Do not place the DLP TV near or over a radiator or heat register. Do
not place the DLP TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slot on the DLP TV cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquids on the DLP TV.

• The DLP TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

• The power cable must be replaced when using different voltage from that specified in the User Manual. For more
information, contact your dealer.

• The DLP TV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit
only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.

• Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the
DLP TV from damage due to power surges.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• Do not attempt to repair or service the product yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to

high voltages, the risk of electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, please contact your dealer and
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• If any of the following occurs please contact the dealer:

o The power supply or connector fails.
o Liquid sprays or any object drops into the DLP TV.
o The Display is exposed to rain or other moisture.
o The Display is dropped or damaged in any way.
o The performance of the Display changes substantially.

• Operating environment:

Temperature: 32°F~104°F (0°C ~ 40°C)
Humidity: 20% to 85% non-condensing

• Handling the remote control

o Do not drop or mishandle the remote control.
o Do not get the remote control wet. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
o Avoid heat and humidity.
o When not using the remote control for a long period, remove the batteries.
o Do not take the batteries apart, heat them, or throw them into a fire.

2 Connecting Components

Power Connection

Connect the power cord to the AC Input at the rear of the DLP TV and then plug the power cord into an
AC wall socket.

Which Video Connection should I use?

The DLP TV has five different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic one to the most
advanced for digital displays.

Connection

Quality

OK

Basic

Good S-Video. The video signal is separated into two signals, one

Better Component. The video signal is separated into three signals,

Cable and Connector Description

Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio as
well as the video in this one cable. If you have an antenna, this
is the only way you can connect it to the DLP TV. If you have a
VCR you could connect your antenna/cable to the VCR RF
Input and connect the VCR RF Output to this connector.

containing the color information. Separating the color in this
way avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black
and white lines are erroneously displayed in color and also
enables text to be displayed more sharply.

one containing the black-and-white information and the other
two containing the color information. This enhancement over
S-Video takes advantage of the superior picture provided by
progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

Best Digital Video (DVI). All of the picture information is received

digitally coded and as your DLP TV is a digital display it does
not have to convert the digital to analog. (The other inputs are
converted from analog to digital by the DLP TV.) Movies are
digitally encoded on DVD’s and so using a component such as
the Bravo Multimedia Player from V, Inc. with a DVI output
produces the ultimate picture performance.

Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the DLP TV, make sure that the antenna or
cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static
charges.

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 grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the DLP TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for
long periods of time, unplug the DLP TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power
lines or circuits.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning the Screen

The screen of the DLP TV 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 DLP TV 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.

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

Cleaning the Exterior

The DLP TV 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 DLP TV, 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 DLP TV.
 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 DLP TV, 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.
