Before Using
Receiver Location
This Projection Display is intended to be used with an 
optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your 
dealer for available options.
Situate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where 
sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall 
on the screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce 
Remote Control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal 
component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive 
heat or moisture.
Optional External Equipment
The Video / Audio connection between components can 
be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best 
performance, video cables should utilize 75 Ω coaxial 
shielded cables. Cables are available from your dealer or 
electronics store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know 
what type of output and input connectors your various 
com po nents require. Also determine the length of cable 
you’ll need.
Safety Precaution
Please take safety precautions to prevent the unit from 
falling over.
 WARNING
The unit may tip or fall if not situated on a stable 
surface, if pushed or during an earthquake. Use a 
strong rope or chain (not included) to fasten the 
Projection Display firmly to a strong wall support.
