Lens System for HDTV
Adoption of a lens system for high-resolution HDTV that
faithfully reproduces HDTV 1080i signals allows highly color-
saturated images to be displayed at high resolution.
Whole Screen IR Receiver
The remote control sensor is installed behind the screen,
allowing you to operate this monitor with the remote control
unit in those installations where only the screen is revealed.
3D Y/C Separation Circuit
This three-dimensional Y/C separation circuit reproduces
clearer picture quality.
Scan Velocity Modulation Circuit
Precise images from progressive scanning can be displayed
in even greater detail, owing to the Scan Velocity Modulation
(SVM) circuit. In accordance with image type and preference,
the level of effect can be changed in terms of three stages.
Tinted Protective Screen
The accompanying protective screen is tinted, not only to
protect the screen but to present more natural high-contrast
images by renewing the color.

INSTALLING THE MONITOR
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
•Keep away from magnetic fields
The picture may be distorted if strong magnetic fields are
nearby.Externalspeakersshouldbesetatleast2feet(60cm)
away from the Projection Monitor. Electric fans and other
motor driven appliances and toys may also be sources of
magnetism.
• Bright light or direct sunlight will dull the picture. Position
the Projection Monitor so that the screen faces away from
windows.
• While the Projection Monitor is operating, it is cooled by
airflow through ventilation holes in the rear and bottom.
Therefore, avoid placing it in a location where the cooling
airflow is hindered (e. g. against a wall).
• Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or
humidity, or to temperatures of 41°F (5°C) or lower. Also
avoid dusty places.
• If setting the Projection Monitor on a floor made of soft
material, make sure that the floor will not damaged by the
weight of the Projection Monitor.
• Do not put the Projection Monitor on a surface that is tilted,
unsteady or prone to shake or vibrate. A shaky or slanted
platform is dangerous.
• Cover shiny surfaces (floor and walls) with non reflective
materials (carpet, rugs, wallpaper, etc.).
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

caused by dust buildup inside.
Condensation and picture blurring
• If the room temperature suddenly rises (or if the Projection
Monitor is moved from a cool place to a hot place),
condensation may form on the lenses resulting in picture
distortion or color fading. If this occurs, simply wait a while
(with the power switch ON) and the condensation will
disappear.
