Installation

Proper installation of your DView will ensure the highest possible picture quality. Whether you are installing the DView temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.

You can either place the DView on a table or in an entertainment center, or mount it on a wall.

If you do decide to wall-mount the DView, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be reinforced.

Vidikron recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.

Use only the Vidikron-approved wall-mount kit designed for your display.

Installation Considerations

Wall-Mounting the DView

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast ratio in your

Ambient Light

images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the display, such as when a shaft of

 

light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out

 

and less vibrant.

 

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

Other Considerations

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the display away

 

from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in

 

the display circuitry, which may affect performance.

 

• Keep the DView away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors

 

and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power

 

amplifiers and elevators.

 

Proceed as follows to connect the DView to your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.

When connecting your equipment:

Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

Use the correct signal cables for each source.

Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.

Use the left audio input when connecting mono audio sources.
