1 Introduction  
Features  
Huge 56-inch screen.  
HDTV 16:9 Aspect Ratio.  
Only 18.9 inches / 480 mm deep.  
75.9 lbs/34.5kg light.  
Bright flicker free picture.  
480P, 720P, 1080I and HDTV signal compatibility.  
480i support for old NTSC television.  
640x480 VGA, 800x600 SVGA, 1024x768 XGA computer signal compatibility.  
When displaying film-based media the TV automatically converts the content using 2:3 Pull  
Down to minimize motion artifacts to produce a stunning picture.  
Uses DCDi™ Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing for state-of-the-art conversion of interlaced (NTSC  
or 1080i HD) to progressive scan.  
DVI input with HDCP for the best display of Digital Video from components such as the VINC  
award winning Bravo Multi-Media Player that is recognized as providing the best picture from  
DVD and CD.  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) will be used for HD Programs and Movies  
and the HDTV needs this feature to be able to display the picture.  
Two HD Component Video inputs automatically synchronize to the input.  
Compatible with HDTV from an external HDTV box with DVI, RGB or Component Video  
outputs.  
Picture-In-Picture (PIP) modes allow simultaneous display of multiple programs.  
Digital Zoom to make the picture fill the screen. The 16:9 aspect of HDTV translates to a ratio  
of 1.77 but widescreen movies are filmed at a ratio of 2.35 and this is the reason there are still  
black bars at the top and bottom of the HDTV screen when playing widescreen DVD’s. Using  
Digital Zoom can eliminate these black bars although the edges of the picture will be lost.  
BBE® sound processor to maximize the sound quality.  
Simulates surround sound with just the two built-in speakers using the SRS® sound processor.  
Selectable fixed Line Out or variable audio output.  
Built-in 15W per channel audio amplifier and speakers.  
OSD menu-driven on screen control system that makes image adjustments a snap.

Important Safeguards  
Read all the Safety Instructions and the User Manual before using the DLP TV. Keep these instructions in a safe  
place for future reference.  
To avoid the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other  
components to the DLP TV.  
Unplug the power cord before cleaning the DLP TV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the DLP TV. Do not  
use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning the product. Do not use abrasive cleaners.  
Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.  
When moving the DLP TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may  
form on the housing. Do not turn on the DLP TV immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or  
component damage. Do not use the DLP TV near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,  
swimming pool or in a wet basement.  
Do not place the DLP TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the DLP TV falls, it can injure a person and cause  
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the  
DLP TV.  
A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between the DLP TV and any heat source, i.e. radiator, heater,  
oven, amplifier etc.  
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation  
of the DLP TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place  
the DLP TV on a bed, sofa, or similar surface. Do not place the DLP TV near or over a radiator or heat register. Do  
not place the DLP TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.  
Never push any object into the slot on the DLP TV cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric  
shock. Never spill liquids on the DLP TV.  
The DLP TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of  
the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.  
The power cable must be replaced when using different voltage from that specified in the User Manual. For more  
information, contact your dealer.  
The DLP TV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit  
only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,  
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the grounded plug.  
Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the  
DLP TV from damage due to power surges.  
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.  
The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.  
Do not attempt to repair or service the product yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to  
high voltages, the risk of electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, please contact your dealer and  
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
If any of the following occurs please contact the dealer:  
o The power supply or connector fails.  
o Liquid sprays or any object drops into the DLP TV.  
o The Display is exposed to rain or other moisture.  
o The Display is dropped or damaged in any way.  
o The performance of the Display changes substantially.  
Operating environment:  
Temperature: 32°F~104°F (0°C ~ 40°C)  
Humidity: 20% to 85% non-condensing  
Handling the remote control  
o Do not drop or mishandle the remote control.  
o Do not get the remote control wet. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
o Avoid heat and humidity.  
o When not using the remote control for a long period, remove the batteries.  
o Do not take the batteries apart, heat them, or throw them into a fire.

2 Connecting Components  
Power Connection  
Connect the power cord to the AC Input at the rear of the DLP TV and then plug the power cord into an  
AC wall socket.  
Which Video Connection should I use?  
The DLP TV has five different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic one to the most  
advanced for digital displays.  
Connection  
Quality  
Cable and Connector  
Description  
OK  
Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio as  
well as the video in this one cable. If you have an antenna, this  
is the only way you can connect it to the DLP TV. If you have a  
VCR you could connect your antenna/cable to the VCR RF  
Input and connect the VCR RF Output to this connector.  
Basic  
Composite. The complete video signal is carried through this  
single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video  
connector.  
Good  
S-Video. The video signal is separated into two signals, one  
containing the black-and-white information and the other  
containing the color information. Separating the color in this  
way avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black  
and white lines are erroneously displayed in color and also  
enables text to be displayed more sharply.  
Better  
Component. The video signal is separated into three signals,  
one containing the black-and-white information and the other  
two containing the color information. This enhancement over  
S-Video takes advantage of the superior picture provided by  
progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.  
Best  
Digital Video (DVI). All of the picture information is received  
digitally coded and as your DLP TV is a digital display it does  
not have to convert the digital to analog. (The other inputs are  
converted from analog to digital by the DLP TV.) Movies are  
digitally encoded on DVD’s and so using a component such as  
the Bravo Multimedia Player from V, Inc. with a DVI output  
produces the ultimate picture performance.

Using the Picture-In-Picture (PIP) Mode  
When the picture-in-picture mode (PIP) mode is active, one picture is displayed on the full screen (main  
picture) and the other picture is displayed in a small window (sub-picture).

Press the TV component button.  
Press the PIP button on the Universal Remote Control once to turn on the PIP mode. A small  
window appears in one corner of the screen. The picture on the full screen is the main picture;

3.  
When the PIP window is visible, press the STYLE button and the DLP TV will show the main and  
sub pictures as a split screen with the screen being divided equally between the two pictures but  
the content will be squeezed into the half width so that people will appear long and thin. Press  
the STYLE button again and will change to POP (Picture-On-Picture) mode for which both  
pictures are equal again but this time the height is adjusted to match the width of each picture so  
that people are in the correct proportions. Press the STYLE button again and the format will  
change to Main+3 mode which means there is a large main picture and three smaller sub pictures  
stacked on the right side of the screen; each one of the sub pictures in turn becomes live for a  
few seconds after which it freezes while the other two take their turn in being live. Press the  
STYLE button again and the format will change to Main+7 mode which means there is one larger  
main picture and seven smaller sub pictures arranged along the top and right edge of the screen  
and they alternate between live and freeze as for the previous mode. Press the STYLE button  
again and the format will change to Scan mode in which the screen is split into a grid of twelve  
equal size pictures the first of which, (top left) is the main picture and the eleven sub pictures are  
refreshed as in the previous two modes. Press the STYLE button again and the format will  
change to PIP mode, which is where cycle of choices began.

5.  
Press the POSITION button one or more times to move the window to a different area of the  
screen.  
When the PIP window is visible, press the SWAP button and the main picture will switch to PIP  
window and the PIP picture will replace it on the main screen. Press the SWAP button again and  
the pictures will switch back again.

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge  
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
Lightning Protection  
For added protection of the DLP TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for  
long periods of time, unplug the DLP TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable  
system.
