Important notes about your DLPTM projection TV

1)The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture may become dark or black, or the lamp may fail, at which time you must replace the lamp unit. See ÒLamp unit replacement and careÓ on pages 98Ð100.

2)Each time you turn on the TV, it may take several seconds to go from no picture to full picture brightness.

3)The display on this TV is manufactured using a chip that may contain up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors. Each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair and represents a single pixel on the television display. These micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to titlt either toward the light source (ON) or away from it (OFF). Occasionally, one of these mirrors may become inoperative, creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. This is a structural property of DLPª projection TV technology, and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance (see item 29 on page 4).

4)Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible, although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see a Òrainbow effectÓ on the screen, which can, in rare instances,

result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to technology of this type, and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

5)Always sit approximately 10Ð25 feet away from the TV and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position and length of viewing time. If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may suffer from eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.

6)This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate

the internal temperature. You may be able to hear the fans for several minutes after the TV is turned

off. This is a function of the Quick Restart Low Power Shutdown mode and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set the Quick Restart feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV is turned off. See ÒSelecting the Quick Restart featureÓ on page 50.

7)The green and red LED lights on the control touchpad (on the lower right corner of the TV screen) indicate your TVÕs current status. If either light flashes, see ÒLED indicationsÓ on page 94 for details.

8)Review all safety and operating information in this ownerÕs

manual before you use your TV.
