it.
About the LCD Projection TV
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.
❑ 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.
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.
❑ 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.)
Cooling fan
❑ This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan to
prevent the internal temperature from heating up.
You might hear the noise from the cooling fan,
depending on the place you install the LCD
projection TV.

Notes on the LCD
Projection TV
To enjoy clear pictures
❑
Be sure not to allow sunlight or light from a lamp to shine directly onto
the screen.
❑
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with a
sharp or abrasive object (see “Use of the Cleaning Cloth” below).
On moisture condensation
❑
If your LCD projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm
location, is placed in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes
suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is
because moisture has condensed on the lenses inside. If this happens,
leave the power on and let the moisture evaporate before using your
LCD projection TV.
When the LCD projection TV will not be used for a long period of time
❑
Turn off the main power of your LCD projection TV before going to
sleep or going out.
When turning off the power
❑
Be sure to turn off the power switch on the main unit or on the remote
control. After turning off the power, the fan will continue to blow for
about two minutes. Be sure to wait for several minutes after turning the
power off when unplugging from the outlet or switching the breaker off.
Use of the Cleaning
Cloth
To remove dust from the front of the screen, wipe with the supplied Cleaning
Cloth.
✍
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder,
or solvent such as alcohol or benzene. Otherwise, this type of contact
may result in a damaged screen.
✍
To clean the screen, please use the supplied Cleaning Cloth lightly
moistened with water diluted mild detergent solution.
✍
The supplied Cleaning Cloth is washable with warm water and a mild
detergent solution, and can be used repeatedly.

Basic Connections (Connecting Cable TV or Antenna)
Connecting Directly
to Cable or an
Antenna
The connection you choose depends on the cable found in your home. Newer
homes are equipped with standard coaxial cable (see A
AA
A); older homes
probably have 300-ohm twin lead cable (see B
BB
B); other homes may contain
both (see C
CC
C).
A VHF Only or VHF/UHF or Cable
B VHF Only or UHF Only or VHF/UHF
C VHF and UHF
✍
It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm
coaxial cable to get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable
can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal
deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it away as far
as possible from the LCD projection TV.
✍
Do not use an indoor antenna because it is especially susceptible to
radio noise.

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.
✍
To receive channels with an antenna, you need to turn your Cable to OFF
(see page 62) and perform the Auto Program function (see page 63).

❏ Be sure your twin picture is set to a video source/channel that has a program airing.
❏ You may be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try cycling
through your video inputs using TV/VIDEO.
❏ Twin View is not set to receive a signal from the AUX input. If you have
connected a VCR, DVD player or satellite receiver to the AUX input on the LCD

picture
❏ Both may be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in either the main
picture or the window picture.
❏ You may be running all your channels through a cable box. The cable box will
only unscramble one signal at a time, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If
possible, run a direct cable to your LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF input (this will
only work if your cable system provides an unscrambled signal.)
You cannot get anything but TV
channels in your second picture
❏ Be sure the video label has not been set to skip your video inputs. See the Setup
menu on page 68.
Favorite Channel does not
display your choices
❏ Verify that Favorite Channel is set to Manual in the Channel menu (see
“Favorite Channel” on page 62).
