For SafetyBe careful when moving the LCD Projection TVWhen you place the LCD Projection TV in position, be careful not to drop it on your foot or fingers.
Watch your footing while installing the LCD Projection TV.
Carry the LCD Projection TV in the specified mannerIf you carry the LCD Projection TV in a manner other than the specified manner and without the specified number of persons, it may drop and a serious injury
may be caused. Be sure to follow the instructions mentioned below.
❑Carry the LCD Projection TV with the specified number of persons (see page 18).
❑Do not carry the LCD Projection TV holding the speaker grill.
❑Hold the LCD Projection TV tightly when carrying it.
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 malfunction.
Installation
❑If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen, part of the screen appears 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. If you view the TV close to you, you may suffer from eye fatigue.
For the best picture quality, install your LCD projection TV according to the operating instructions.
Sit at least 2.2 m (approx. 7 ft.) away from your LCD projection TV, and within 60° of the vertical viewing area, and 130° of the horizontal viewing area.
❑When installing your LCD Projection TV against a wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.
Projection lamp
❑Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. When the projection lamp wears out after using the LCD projection TV for a long period of time, the screen image becomes dark, or no image will appear on the display. If the lamp replacement indicator of the front panel blinks in red, replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied). In some cases, the lamp bursts inside the lamp unit noisily, but the lamp unit is securely designed so that the pieces of broken glass remain inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 13.)
Cooling fan
❑This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan to prevent the internal temperature from heating up. You might hear the noise from the cooling fan, depending on the place you install the LCD projection TV.
