commitment to your complete satisfaction and viewing enjoyment.
This page folds open to display the menus. We
designed this page so that you could leave it open
and use it as a quick-reference guide while
reviewing the manual.

If you suspect that liquid has entered the TV, unplug it
imrnediately and have it inspected by an Authorized TV
Servicenter. Turning it off is not enough - your TV has
power applied to some circuits even when the TV is turned
off.

product.
Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline-operated
equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear
the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the
accessory itself and should not have been modified so as to
defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential
hazard from electric shock or fire. If in doubt, contact
qualified service personnel.
Your TV operates on 120 volts, 60 Hz AC power (normal
house power) and has a polarized AC plug. Because one
blade of the plug is wider than the other, the plug fits into the
wall socket only one way. Do not defeat the safety feature of
this plug. If you need an extension cord, make sure it is
polarized.
Caution: To prevent electric shock, do not use
the polarized plug on this TV with an extension
cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless both
blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure. Match wide blade of plug to wide slot,
fully insert.

All operating controls and their functions are identified and
explained in this manual. For warranty service or routine
maintenance, contact the nearest Authorized ProScan TV
Servicenter. All servicing and adjustments to electrical
components should be done by a qualified service technician.
•Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this TV to rain or moisture.
Note to Cable TV Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention
to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (Section 54 of the Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1)which provides guidelines for proper grounding and,
in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

you to position a VCR or other
component on top of your TV.
Simply place the shelf on top of
your TV as shown above, and
then place the VCR on the shelf.
2 Extendbackcoven
Your projection TV has been specially designed with a
collapsible back cover. This design makes it easier for you
to move the TV through doorways because the collapsed
back makes the TV narrower. After the TV is positioned
in your home, you can easily extend the back cover to its
normal operating position by following the instructions
below.
1Remove the four wing nuts from the literature bag.
2Remove the two screws (labeled A) from the shipping
brackets. You will use these screws later in step 6.

Power Interruption Protection Feature
In the first few months of operation, it is normal for your TV
to occasionally shut down and immediately turn itself on
again. The picture tubes in this TV (as in all TV's) operate at
a very high voltage and at times may arc internally. Your TV
will recognize what is happening and will automatically shut
down. This protects the TV's memory from locking up or, in
some cases, being erased. After a shut down occurs, .the
following message will briefly appear on the screen.
Note: This message will also be displayed briefly if power is interrupted
due to a loss of power to the TV, such as in an electrical storm or a
brown-out situation.

(Optional)ConvergeyourTV.
Your projection TV has three color projection tubes-one for
red, one for green, and one for blue. When mixed together in
the proper proportion, the output of these three color tubes
can produce many colors. To produce these colors, the
beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the
colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture
beams is called "convergence".
Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of
alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the
'1"_/.If you move your TV or notice colored tings or halos
around objects in the picture, you may want to converge
(align) the colors.
To simplify convergence, an on-screen menu is provided that
allows you to display a test pattern of lines on the screen.
Properly converged, the lines appear white-which is actually
a combination of the output of the three color tubes. The
position of the green lines is stationary. The positions of the
red and blue lines are adjustable. When properly adjusted,
the red and blue lines should lie directly over the green lines
to produce single white lines.
ToConverge(Align)the Colors.
1Turn on the TV and select a channel that is active in your
area. Allow the TV to operate at least ten minutes before
converging.

11 Review menusandotherfeatures.
When you feel comfortable with your TV and remote
controls, review the menus. Most of the menus are
shown inside the front cover. You can fold this pa.ge out
for quick reference while reading the manual.
The Helpfunction on the MASNMENUoffers a variety of
help screens to assist you in the connection and
operation of your TV. Details .are on page 13.
The rest of this manual can be used as a reference guide
with detailed information about each operating control,
menu, and function. There is an alphabetical index in
the back for your convenience.
Inside of the back cover is a quick-reference operating
guide. This page is designed so it can be removed from
the manual.

OperatingRemoteControls
Before attempting to operate either one of the remote
controls, install the batteries as shown below.
Installing/ReplacingBatteries
1Turn each remote control face down.
2Press down on the ridged area of each battery cover and slide
it off.
Usingthe RemoteControls
Aim either remote control at your TV's remote control
sensor (located behind the TV screen). The remote
controls produce an invisible (infrared) beam that travels
in a straight line much as the beam of a flashlight. For this
reason, when operating either one of the remote controls,
you must point it directly at the front of the TV without
objects between that can block the infrared light beam.
3Install the "AAA" batteries in each compartment as shown.
4Replace the covers and turn remotes over (face up).
Notes: Replace the batteries when the TV fails to respond to the remote
control.
If you programmed your master remote to control other components, you
may have to reprogram the code numbers when you change batteries.
Try not to press any buttons while changing batteries.
Never place anything heavy on top of the remote control or lay it upside-
down. This may accidentally depress the buttons for a long time and
discharge the batteries.
Do not mix new and used batteries or different brands of batteries.
If battery leakage occurs, wipe up the liquid inside the compartment and
replace the batteries with new ones.
