Installing and Connecting the Projection TV (continued)
Safety
• Operate the projection TV only on 120 V
AC.
• The plug is designed, for safety purposes,
to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• If any liquid or solid object should fall
inside the cabinet, unplug the projection
TV immediately and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before
operating it further.
• If you will not be using the projection TV
for several days, disconnect the power by
pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the
cord.
Precautions
Note on cleaning
Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a
dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the
screen, wipe it gently with a soft 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.
Installing
• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.
• Do not install the projection TV in a hot
or humid place, or in a place subject to
excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
• Avoid operating the projection TV at
temperatures below 5° C (41° F).
• If the projection TV is transported
directly from a cold to a warm location,
or if the room temperature changes
suddenly, the picture may be blurred or
show poor color. In this case, please wait
a few hours to let the moisture evaporate
before turning on the projection TV.
• To obtain the best picture, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or direct
sunlight. It is recommended to use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling
or to cover the windows that face the
screen with opaque drapery. It is
desirable to install the projection TV in a
room where the floor and walls are not of
a reflective material.

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 fit 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 to be 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.
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

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.

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.
Important Safeguards (continued)
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the
wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it.
Do not use liquid cleaners
or aerosol cleaners. Use a
cloth lightly dampened
with water for cleaning
the exterior of the set.
If a snapping or popping
sound from a projection
TV set is continuous or
frequent while the

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
