combination should be moved with

care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart

combination to overturn.

If a snapping or popping sound from a TV

set is continuous or frequent while the TV

is operating, unplug the TV and consult

your dealer or service technician. It is

normal for some TV sets to make

occasional snapping or popping sounds,

particularly when being turned on or off.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the

set through the cabinet slots as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or short

out parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the set.

Safety Check

About the LCD Projection TV

Upon completion of any service or repairs

to the set, ask the service technician to

perform routine safety checks (as specified

by the manufacturer) to determine that the

set is in safe operating condition, and to so

certify. When the set reaches the end of its

useful life, improper disposal could result

in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified

service technician to dispose of the set.

Although the LCD projection TV is made with high-

precision technology, black dots may appear or bright

points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly

on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the

LCD panel and is not a malfunction.

Installation

❑

If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines

on the screen, part of the screen appears white due to

reflections from behind the screen. This is a

structural property of the LCD Projection TV.

Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or

direct sunlight.

For Safety

Be careful when moving

the LCD Projection TV

When you place the LCD Projection

TV in position, be careful not to

drop it on your foot or fingers.

❑

The picture quality may be affected by your viewing

position. If you view the TV close to you, you may

suffer from eye fatigue.

For the best picture quality, install your LCD

projection TV according to the operating

instructions.

Watch your footing while installing the LCD Projection

TV.

Sit at least 2.2 m (approx. 7 ft.) away from your

LCD projection TV, and within 60° of the vertical

viewing area, and 130° of the horizontal viewing

area.

Carry the LCD Projection TV in

the specified manner

If you carry the LCD Projection TV in a

manner other than the specified manner

and without the specified number of

persons, it may drop and a serious injury

may be caused. Be sure to follow the instructions

mentioned below.

❑

When installing your LCD Projection TV against a

wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.

Projection lamp

Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as

❑

its light source. When the projection lamp wears out

after using the LCD projection TV for a long period

of time, the screen image becomes dark, or no image

will appear on the display. If the lamp replacement

indicator of the front panel blinks in red, replace the

lamp with a new one (not supplied). In some cases,

the lamp bursts inside the lamp unit noisily, but the

lamp unit is securely designed so that the pieces of

broken glass remain inside the lamp unit. (See

“Replacing the Lamp ” on page 13.)

❑

Carry the LCD Projection TV with the specified

number of persons (see page 18).

Do not carry the LCD Projection TV holding the

speaker grill.

Hold the LCD Projection TV tightly when carrying

it.

Cable Box

Connections

Cable Box and Cable

This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:

❑

Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them

(pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable

box, and

❑

You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.

With this setup you can:

❑

Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels using

your cable box when the signal is scrambled.

❑

Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels using

your LCD projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your LCD

projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

❑

Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your

cable box, only one channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you

can not use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable

box.)

1 ^{Connect the Cable TV cable to the LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF}

jack.

2 ^{Using a coaxial cable, connect the LCD projection TV’s TO}

CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The LCD projection

TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled

signals coming straight into the LCD projection TV and scrambled

signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an

external splitter.

You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded

signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

❑

You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to

your LCD projection TV.

When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled

channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View

feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using

the hookup on page 26 instead.
