In order to use the television for a long time

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Before using this television, please read the safety cautions and information about this television which are summarized below.

1. When the power is turned on, the warming up commences

This television uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Once the lamp has warmed up, you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned on is explained below. Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had time to warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the picture becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to it’s normal operating temperature. There are 2 LED indicators on the front panel of the television that can be used as a guide. When the POWER button is pressed, the LAMP/PROGRAM LED indicator blinks in orange for approximately 1 minute at approximately every 2 seconds, and then goes out.

Note: It is impossible to turn the power off during this period. After 1 or more minutes have passed, you can turn off the power.

2. Cooling the inside of the television and the lamp

Cooling is also performed while the television is being shut down.

When the POWER button is pressed to turn off the power, the following operations are performed. When the television is turned off, the picture on the screen disappears. Once the screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately 1 minute. When the cooling is being performed, the LAMP/PROGRAM LED indicator on the front panel blinks in orange at approximately every 3 seconds. The television can not be operated while the cooling is being performed. After the cooling has been performed for 1 minute, the power is turned off. Do not remove the electrical plug until after the cooling process has completed.
