Important Safeguards

For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions placed on the set or described in the operating instructions or service manual.

WARNING

To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.

Use

Power Sources

This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug

(a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions below:

For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug

This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully

%f!% into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

Alternate Warning for the set with a three- wire grounding type AC plug

This plug will only tit into a grounding- type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Always turn the set off when it is not being used. When the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.

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.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust

4

from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft a cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the projection TV Consult qualified service personnel.

4

Installation

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories

Do not p&e the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer for the specific model of projection

TV. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Power-Cord Protection

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

Antennas

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA

SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO

KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES

OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS

ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in

USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in

Canada provides information with respect to proper 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.

Antenna Grounding According to the NEC

Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for

Antenna Grounding.

Allows you to view local and cable channels if your cable provider does not feature local channels. You can switch between local and cable channels easily by pressing ANT on the remote control. Devices connected to the AUX input cannot be viewed in Twin View.

This is a VHF/UHF OUT jack that lets you set up your projection TV to switch between scrambled channels

(through a cable box) and normal cable channels (CATV).

Use this jack instead of a splitter to get better picture quality when switching between scrambled and unscrambled cable channels.

Connections

Installing and Connecting the Projection TV

Cable Box and Cable

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

0 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

0 You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.

With this setup you can:

0 Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your cable box when the signal is scrambled.

0 Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

0 Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one channel is sent to the 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 projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The projection TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.

3 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the projection TV’s AUX jack.

0 You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your projection TV.

When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled channel is sent to the 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 17 instead.
