EBECev Een
e Overt the set only on 120 V AC.
@ Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the set and have it checked by qualified per-
sonnel before operating it any further.
@ Unplug the set from the wall outlet if it Is not going to
be used for several days or more. To disconnect the
cord, it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
@ To prevent internal heat build-up, do not block the
ventilation openings.
®@ Do not install the set in a hot or humid place or ina
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical vibration.
@ Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures
below 5°C (41°F).
@ After the set has been transported from a cold foca-
tion directly to a warm location, or if the room
temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be
blurred or show poor color over portions of the pic-
ture. This is because moisture has condensed on the
mirrors or lenses inside the projector. Wait until the
moisture evaporates.
e Avoid placing the set on a slanting or uneven floor.

To obtain a clear picture, the screen should not be
exposed to illumination or suniight directly from the
front.
Spot lighting whose light comes down from
the celling is recommended.
Cover the windows
that face the screen
with opaque drapery.
It is desirable to Install the projector in a room whose
floors and walls are not of light-reflecting material.
If these are of reflecting material, it would be
desirable to change to @ dark carpet or wall paper.
@ Save the original shipping carton and packing
material; they will come in handy If you ever have to
ship your set. For maximum protection, repack your
set as it was originally packed at the factory.
To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically
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 precau-
tion, unplug the set before cleaning it.
To remove dust from the front of the screen, unplug
the set 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 becomes darkened after the set has
been tn use for a long period of time, cleaning the in-
side of the projector may be required. Consult
qualified service personnel for this.
Use of this color rear video projector for other than
private performance of programs broadcast for the use
of the general public may require authorization from the
transmitter and/or owner of such programs. Use with
cable television transmission may require authorization
from the-cable system transmitter and/or program
owner.

LISTENING TO MULTICHANNEL TV SOUND(MTS)
BROADCASTS
In the years to come, an increasing number of programs
will be broadcast in stereo. Called Multichannel TV
Sound or MTS, the new technology will greatly enhance
TV viewing by bringing you programs with high fidelity
stereo sound. MTS also provides for an extra channel
called the Second Audio Program or SAP which broad-
casters can use to transmit a second language for bi-
lingual transmissions or some other sound track.
To recelve a stereo program
Normally set the MONO/AUTO STEREO selector to
AUTO STEREO. In this position, the STEREO lamp on
the control panel will light up whenever a stereo broad-
cast ts received.
To listen to the stereo sound, select the MAIN mode
with the MTS button so that the on-screen MAIN in-
dicator appears. The stereo sound will be heard from
the left and right speakers.
Every push on the MTS button changes the indicator
below the channel number as follows:
MAIN SAP —~———~ BOTH
When there Is a SAP (Second Audio Program) broadcast
Select the SAP mode so that the SAP indicator will be
displayed and only the SAP sound will be heard from
both speakers.
To listen to both MAIN and SAP broadcasts
Select the BOTH mode so that the BOTH Indicator is
displayed. The MAIN and SAP sounds will come out
from the left and right speakers respectively.
The MAIN sound becomes monaural(mixed) even if it is
a stereo broadcast, as the sound comes only from the
left speaker.

i
eres gt

Notes
®@ The selected mode will be retained even after the
power has once been turned off.
@ There may be cases of stereo broadcasts where ex-
cessive “noise” will be heard due to a weak incoming
signal. By switching the MONO/AUTO STEREO
selector to MONO and returning to a monaural mode,
the noise should be eliminated.
@ When the SAP or BOTH mode is selected and there is
no SAP broadcast, no sound Is heard from the
speaker (in SAP mode).
@ The SAP broadcast will always be transmitted with
the MAIN broadcast.
