Important notes about your DLPTM projection TV

1) The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a

limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture may

become dark or black, or the lamp may fail, at which time you

must replace the lamp unit. See “Lamp unit replacement and

care” on pages 98–100.

2) Each time you turn on the TV, it may take several seconds to go

from no picture to full picture brightness.

3) The display on this TV is manufactured using a chip that may

contain up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors. Each of these

micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human

hair and represents a single pixel on the television display.

These micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable

them to titlt either toward the light source (ON) or away

from it (OFF). Occasionally, one of these mirrors may become

inoperative, creating a light or dark pixel on the projection

surface. This is a structural property of DLP™ projection TV

technology, and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are

not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing

distance (see item 29 on page 4).

4) Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible, although

unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see a “rainbow

effect” on the screen, which can, in rare instances, result in eye

fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to technology of this

type, and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

5) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as

directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may be

affected by your viewing position and length of viewing time. If

you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may suffer from

eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.

6) This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate the

internal temperature. You may be able to hear the fans

for several minutes after the TV is turned off. This is a

function of the Quick Restart Low Power Shutdown mode and

is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set the Quick Restart

feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV is turned off. See

“Selecting the Quick Restart feature” on page 50.

7) The green and red LED lights on the control touchpad (on the

lower right corner of the TV screen) indicate your TV’s current

status. If either light flashes, see “LED indications” on page 94

for details.

8) Review all safety and operating information in this owner’s

manual before you use your TV.
