Important notes about your DLP™ 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 (- “Lamp unit replacement and care” on pages 81–83).

2)When the lamp mode is set to Low Power, every time the TV is powered on, the lamp will initially be in High Bright mode but will switch to Low Power mode after a short period of time. You may notice a change in screen brightness

when this happens. This is normal and is not a sign of malfunction (- page 55 for details).

3)Every time the TV is powered on, it may take several minutes for the picture to obtain full brightness (- “IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT HOT LAMP RESTART,” at right).

4)The TV’s display is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, an occasional pixel (dot of light) may show constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of DLP™ (Digital Light Processing™) technology and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.

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 under “Care” on page 4 of the separate Installation Guide.

6)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 DLP technology and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

7)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™

feature 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 powered off. See “Setting the Quick Restart™ feature” (- page 30).

8)The yellow and blue LED lights at the bottom center of the

TV front indicate your TV’s current status. If either light flashes, see “LED indications” (- page 80).

9)Every time the TV power cord is plugged in, the yellow LED will blink until the TV enters standby mode (plugged in but not powered on). This is normal and is not a sign of malfunction.

“Voice announce” feature

When certain non-standard conditions occur, the LEDs on the TV will blink and the TV will play a recorded “voice announcement” describing the condition (see the LED indication table on page 80 for the specific conditions that include a voice announcement).

To repeat the voice announcement and hear additional information, press the MENU button on the TV while the LEDs are blinking.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT HOT LAMP RESTART

When the TV has been powered on long enough for the lamp unit to get hot, it may take several minutes for the picture to appear in the following situations:

•When the Quick Restart™ feature is set to OFF and you turn the TV off and then on again within a few minutes; or

•If the TV is on when a short-term power failure, power surge, or other similar power failure occurs, such that

the TV loses and regains power within a few minutes.

This is a property of DLP™ technology and is NOT a sign of malfunction.

If this occurs, the yellow LED on the TV front panel will blink (and the blue LED will be lit solid) until the TV is finished restarting the lamp and the normal picture appears. If both LEDs are blinking, you will need to turn the TV off and then on again to restart the lamp.
