vi Vidikron Vision Model 150 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Thank you for your purchase of this quality Vidikron video projector! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the menus and operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements. 5. Clean only with a dry cloth. 6. Do not block any ventilation openings. 7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet. 9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could cause damage to this unit. 10. Only use accessories specified by Vidikron. 11.
