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 due to moisture condensation. 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.

CAUTION

How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your Projection TV

Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV, resulting in retention of the image in the picture. Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image retention:

View a variety of program sources or programming material.

Image retention can occur when bright stationary images such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.

When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness” levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher “Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.

Please see page 72 for instructions on adjusting picture settings.

This will help you reduce the risk of causing image retention.

IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
