Important Information
Please
read
the
following
information
on
using
and
maintaining
the
projection
TV,
for
optimum
viewing
quality.
eatetelacmerercliiay
¢ Poor color registration (the red, green and biue signals do
not overlap properly) may be caused by the influence of
the earth’s magnetism. Correct this with the
CONVERGENCE adjustment (pp. 26 — 27).
¢ Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch
the surface with hard objects.
* Leaving a fixed pattern on the screen for long periods of
time, when operating a video game or personal computer,
may damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the
picture contrast and the brightness levels low (PICTURE
and BRIGHT adjustment, pp. 50 -— 51).
Tielaaiatshetela
To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct
illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting
directed down from the ceiling.
Cover the windows that
face the screen with
opaque drapery.
The floor and walls should not be of a light-reflecting
material. If necessary, cover them with dark carpeting or
wallpaper.
Hatcyestitstdiolal ;
¢ To prevent internal heat built-up, do not block the
ventilation openings.
¢ Do not install the projection TV in a hot or humid place, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical! vibration.
© Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures below
5°C (41°F).
¢ After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to
a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed
suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor color over
portions of the picture. This is because moisture has
condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the projection
TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the projection
TV
¢
Avoid
placing
the
projection
TV
on
a
slanted
or
uneven
floor.
After
setting
up,
adjust
the
levelling
legs
to
stabilize
the
projection
TV
(p.
2).
Maintenance
* Save the original shipping carton and packing material to
use if you ever have to ship your projection TV. For
maximum protection, repack your projection TV as it was
originally packed at the factory.
¢ To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodially clean it
with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a
cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never
use
strong
solvents
such
as
thinner
or
benzine,
or
abrasive cleansers since these will damage the cabinet.
As a safety precaution, unplug the projection TV before
cleaning it.
© To remove dust from the front of the screen, unplug the
projection TV and wipe it gently with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with water or a mild detergent solution, using
vertical strokes only. Then wipe it again with a dry, soft
cloth. Never use solvents or thinners for cleaning
purposes.
¢
If
the
picture
turns
dark
after
the
projection
TV
has
been
in
use
for
a
long
period
of
time,
it
may
be
necessary
to
clean
the
inside
of
the
projection
TV.
Consult
qualified
service
personnel
for
this.

Although you can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna with the projection TV, an outdoor antenna will
provide you with better picture quality.
You can receive cable TV by connecting a cable supplied by your local cable company.

Note
You can watch both a TV and a VCR image at once, using
Picture-in-Picture (pp. 45 - 49).
Video input and output signals can be separated into Y
(luminance or brightness) and C (chroma or color) signals.
Usually these two signals are combined in a VCR and sent
as one signal to a projection TV. Separation of the Y and C
signals prevents them from interfering with one another,
thereby improving picture (especially color) quality.
This projection TV is equipped with S video input jacks
through which these separated signals can be input directly.
