About the SXRD projection TV

Although the SXRD 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 SXRD screen. This is a structural property of the SXRD 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 SXRD projection TV.

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

The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. Sit at least 8 ft. (approx. 2.4~2.5 m) away from your SXRD projection TV, and within 76º of the vertical and 130º of the horizontal viewing area. If you sit too close to the TV, you may experience eye strain. For the best picture quality, install your SXRD projection TV according to “Recommended Viewing Area” on page 32.

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

Avoid installing the SXRD projection TV near a heater, etc.

Projection lamp

Your SXRD projection 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 20.)

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

When the temperature of the SXRD projection TV rises, the cooling fan runs faster.

Although the SXRD projection TV is switched to standby mode, the cooling fan continues to run for a few minutes.
