Do not use power-line operated sets 
near water — for example, near a 
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or 
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or 
near a swimming pool, etc.

Do not place the set on an unstable 
cart, stand, table or shelf. The set 
may fall, causing serious injury to a 
child or an adult and serious damage 
to the set. Use only a cart or stand 
recommended by the manufacturer 
for the specific model of LCD 
Projection TV. An appliance and cart 
combination should be moved with 
care. Quick stops, excessive force, 
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart 
combination to overturn.

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or 
bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure 
reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from 
overheating, these slots and openings must never be 
blocked or covered.

❑

Never cover the slots and openings 
with a cloth or other materials.

❑

Never block the slots and openings 
by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug 
or other similar surface.

❑

Never place the set in a confined 
space, such as a bookcase or built-in 
cabinet, unless proper ventilation is 
provided.

❑

Do not place the set near or over a 
radiator or heat register, or where it is 
exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll 
over the power cord, and do not place the 
set where the power cord is subject to 
wear or abuse.

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions 
below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located 
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric 
light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact 
with such power lines or circuits. 

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA 
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO 
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES 
OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS 
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide 
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static 
charges. 

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in 
USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in 
Canada provides information with respect to proper 
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, 
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge 
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna 
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and 
requirements for the grounding electrode.

Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for 
Antenna Grounding.

For added protection for this television receiver during a 
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused 
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet 
and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to 
the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to 
qualified service personnel under the following 
conditions:

❑

When the power cord or 
plug is damaged or frayed.

❑

If liquid has been spilled into 
the set.

❑

If the set has been exposed 
to rain or water.

❑

If the set has been subject to 
excessive shock by being 
dropped, or the cabinet has 
been damaged.

❑

If the set does not operate 
normally when following the 
operating instructions. 
Adjust only those controls 
that are specified in the 
operating instructions. 
Improper adjustment of 
other controls may result in 
damage and will often 
require extensive work by a 
qualified technician to restore the set to normal 
operation.

❑

When the set exhibits a distinct change in 
performance, it indicates a need for service.

Do not attempt to service the set by yourself 
since opening the cabinet may expose you to 
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service 
technician certifies in writing that he has used 
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have 
the same characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric 
shock or other hazards.

Upon completion of any service or repairs 
to the set, ask the service technician to 
perform routine safety checks (as specified 
by the manufacturer) to determine that the 
set is in safe operating condition, and to so 
certify. When the set reaches the end of its 
useful life, improper disposal could result 
in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified 
service technician to dispose of the set.

When 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.

If 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.

❑

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.

❑

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.)

❑

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.
