Important Information (contd.)
Information Regarding Auto Convergence 
This feature is used to automatically adjust convergence. It is
recommended that this feature be used after moving the PTV or
any change of the magnetic field, such as changing PTV location
or adding additional speakers around the PTV. 
Note:During auto convergence process the remote control has
no effect.
Note:If convergence is not acceptable after auto convergence
is finished, refer to pages 28 and 29 to set convergence
manually.
Information Regarding Convergence
In the projection television, the image is formed by
projecting 3 different color images (red, green and blue)
onto the projection screen. Convergence refers to the
alignment of red, green and blue images on the
projection screen. When these images are properly
aligned (converged), you see a sharp and vibrant color
image. Sometimes, the three images may require
alignment. This is due to the effect of Earth’s magnetic field
on the projection tubes. Normally, adjustment is not
necessary after the initial alignment at the center of the
screen. It is possible to correct the color fringing on other
areas of the screen by using the buttons on the remote
control and by following the on-screen instructions in the
set-up menu. Please converge the images before using the
television for the first time. The following diagram shows examples of a misaligned
image and a properly aligned image. Please refer to
pages 28 and 29 for detailed procedure on how to
adjust convergence manually.
 
Note:
• Make sure that the PTV is on for at least 20 minutes
before adjusting convergence, as described on pages 28
and 29.
FCC INFORMATION

the limits for a Class B Digital Device in accordance with
the specifications in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against
radio and television interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
