About the LCD projection TV

Although the LCD projection TV is made with high- precision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a defect.

Installation

❑If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen, part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural property of the LCD projection TV.

Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.

❑The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For the best picture quality, install your TV according to “Recommended Viewing Area” on page 13.

❑When installing your TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.

Projection Lamp

❑Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:

•the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,

•screen images become dark,

•no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

❑In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit. (see “Replacing the Lamp” on page 76)

❑When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.

Cooling Fan

❑This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the placement of your TV. The noise may be more noticeable during the night or when the background noise level is low.
