Specific precautions for projection TVs

On/Off switch

Refer to the picture on the inside cover of this manual.

If you are not using the appliance for a long period of time switch it off using the on/off switch (A).

Safety

Do not place the TV set on a surface which is unstable, sloping or subject to vibration.

Make sure that the flooring is strong enough to support the set’s weight.

EN

Temperature

If the temperature in the room changes suddenly or the set is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may form on the lenses, which can distort the picture.The picture will return to normal after one or two hours’ operation.

Comfortable viewing

To make your viewing as comfortable as possible:

-Close the curtains or shutters in the room to avoid the screen being directly exposed to sunlight.

-Avoid flooring or wall surfaces which are too shiny, as well as any form of direct lighting on the screen.

Cleaning the screen

Use a dry soft, lint-free cloth, if necessary, moistened in a very mild detergent to clean the screen.

Note: using strong detergents, alcohol-based and abrasive products may damage the screen.

Choosing the ideal location

One of the main assets of your projection television is its large screen. It can provide good conditions for comfortable viewing at up to an 80° angle from the centre of the screen (see below).

However, to ensure your maximum enjoyment, it is recommended that you sit directly in front of the television, with your eyes level with the centre of the screen at a distance of no less than 3 metres.

Other recommendations

Before moving your projection television set:

-Unplug the power and RF cables.

-Make sure that the power cable is not caught under one of the castors as this could damage it and cause a short circuit.

-Move the set carefully. It is equipped with castors to facilitate its movement.

-Make sure that the screen is not hit or scored.

-Lift the set up when moving it on bumpy surfaces to prevent damage to the castors.

It is recommended that a test card or any other fixed picture should not be left on the screen for more than 15 minutes to prevent damage to the tubes. For this reason, games consoles are not recommended for use with this television.
