							IMPORTANT INFORMATION1 lENGLISHImportant Information
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 26 and 27 for detailed
procedure on how to adjust convergence. 
Notes:
•Make sure that the set is on for at least 20 minutes
before adjusting convergence as described on pages 26
and 27.
•Convergence adjustment is independent for each format
(480i, 1080i or zoom). Setting in one format does not
affect the other.Important Information Regarding The Use Of 
Video Games, Computers, Or Other Fixed 
Image Displays.
FCC INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limit 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
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications, However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or
television reception (which you can determine by turning
the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures.
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.Misconverged image
Properly aligned imageWARNING: The marking or retained image on the
picture tube resulting from viewing fixed image is
not an operating defect and as such is not covered
by Warranty. 
The projection television is designed to display
constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous
viewing of stationary images such as letterbox pictures
on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars), non-
expanded standard (4:3) pictures on wide screen TVs
(with side bars shown on each side of an image), stock
market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the
screen), video game patterns, fixed scoreboards,
bright station logos, on-line (Internet) or repetitive
computer style patterns should be limited.
The extended use of fixed image program material can
cause a permanent picture tube damage, shown as a
“shadow image” viewable on normal programs. This
type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be
limited by performing the following steps:
•Limit the display of fixed image program material to
no more than 15% of total viewing time per week.
•Turn the power off when not in use.new2prod 0470-1 E doc2.fm  Page 1  Friday, May 2, 2003  12:31 PM

Connection
This television is capable of displaying 1080i and 480p DTV
signals when connected to a DTV tuner set-top-box (STB). In
order to view DTV programming, the STV must be connected
to the component video inputs (Y,PB,PR) of the television. A
DTV signal must be available in your area. Select the output of
the STB to either 1080i or 480p.
This television also utilizes a progressive scan doubler, which
de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the
thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated
with interlaced TV pictures.
Use this diagram to connect the DTV-STB or DVD player to
the back of your projection television.    
Note:There are two set of three video iacks, Y, P
B, and P
R.
Separate component color inputs provide luminance and
color separation. Use the L (left) and R (right) audio
inputs.
Front Control Panel
The front control panel can be used to access menus and
switch video mode when the remote control is not available.
A second VCR, Camcorder, a video disc player, video game
equipment or DSS equipment can also be connected to the

							OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS7 lENGLISHOptional Equipment Connections (cont.)
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) input connection
The DVI/HDCP1
 input on your PTV can accommodate
copy protected digital programming. The DVI/HDCP input
terminal complies with the EIA-861Profiles2
 standard and is

HDCP input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861
compliant consumer electronic device, such as a set top
box or DVD player equipped with a DVI output connection3
.
The DVI/HDCP input is designed for best performance with
HDTV signals, such as 1080i or 720p picture signals. The
DVI/HDCP input will also accept and display 480i and 480p
picture signals.
Notes:
1.DVI/HDCP = Digital Visual Interface / High-Bandwith
Digital Copy Protection.
2.EIA/CEA-861 Profiles compliance covers profiles for
transmission of uncompressed digital video including
high bandwidth digital content protection.
