Specific precautions for DLP™TV sets
What is DLP™ technology?
Replacing the lamp
You have just bought a TV set equipped with DLP™ (Digital Light
Processing) technology.This new technology uses a special lamp, a
colour wheel and an optical semi-conductor comprising a huge
number of microscopic mirrors to provide you with exceptional
picture quality in a thin, lightweight design.
The lamp supplied with the TV set has a lamp life of a few
thousand hours in normal operating conditions.
ꢁIf you notice the following changes:
- The time the TV set takes to come on gets noticeably longer.
- The picture’s brightness decreases.
To ensure that you can enjoy your TV set’s unparalleled operation
for as long as possible, you should observe the following
precautions.
- When you switch the set on, there is sound and you can
change channels, but no picture is displayed and the indicator
on the front starts flashing red.This occurs several times.
EN
This means that the lamp’s power is running down. You then need
to buy a new one.
Switching yourTV set on and off
ꢁWhen you switch the TV set on, if no picture is displayed after 2
minutes, the lamp needs to be replaced.
As with all projection devices, your TV set contains a special lamp
which must heat up and cool down in the proper manner to
ensure its optimum operation for as long as possible.To prolong
the life of the lamp, you must observe the required heating up and
cooling down times.
Choose the exact same type and follow the
instructions provided in the “Lamp replacement
instructions” leaflet (the right lamp type is indicated in the
help text for the Lamp brightness option in the Lamp &
Position menu, see page 14).
ꢁTo switch the TV set on, press the on/off button on the side of
the set.The picture takes up to 40 seconds to display. If no
picture is displayed after 2 minutes, it is possible that the lamp
needs to be replaced (see further below).
Important:
ꢁTo put the TV set in standby mode, press the
remote control.When the set is in standby mode,the indicator
on the front is red.
button on the
- NEVER touch the lamp with your fingers because any grease
deposits left on it can reduce the lamp’s life.Always use some
kind of cloth to handle the lamp (gloves, duster, etc.).
To switch off the TV set, press the on/off button on the side of
the set.
- Even after the fan has stopped, the lamp’s temperature still
remains very hot for about 30 minutes and can cause burns.
The fan continues to run for about another two minutes to cool
the lamp down.
Moving theTV set
Important: NEVER unplug the set when the fan is running.
To avoid any damage to the lamp, you should not move the TV set
while the lamp is still hot.Wait 30 minutes after the the fan stops
before moving it.

ꢀThe Learning feature
The Learning feature completes the programming procedure described on page 4, as it
enables you to record the functionality of a specific button from the original remote
control to one of the TV’s remote control buttons.
Notes:
- Before using the Learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control
other appliances you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all
learned commands for that appliance mode.
-You cannot record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV’s remote control: TV,
VCR, DVD, AUX, SAT, AMP, EXIT, and LIGHT.
EN
- The remote control functions are recorded (learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals: this
operation should be carried out in a dimly lit room to avoid interference. Make sure the TV’s
remote and the original remote are no more than 5 cm apart, with the Infrared (IR) transmitter
of the original remote facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’s remote.
- The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player’s
remote control, you must press the DVD button first before the learned function will work (in TV
mode, the button where you’ve stored the learned function will continue to work as it always
has).
- Certain remote controls do not support the use of the Learning function.

Getting started
Switching on
Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and the remote
control before going on to the following pages that describe the channel set-up procedure.
1. Insert two LR06 or AA batteries in the remote control.
Precautions on using batteries:
- Only use the battery types specified.
- Make sure you use the correct polarity.
- Do not mix new and used batteries.
- Do not use rechargeable batteries.
EN
- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, throw them in a fire, recharge them or try to open
them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.
- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period of time
(several weeks).
220 - 240V ~ 50 Hz
2. Connect the power cable FIRST to the television, THEN to a mains socket.
Your TV set should only be connected to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz AC supply.
It must not be connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cable, do not, under
any circumstances, connect it to a mains socket, as there is a risk of electric shock.
Mains socket in
continental Europe
Equipment for the UK and Ireland is supplied with a mains cable fitted with a moulded plug.
This plug contains safety components and must not be replaced by one sold by general
retailers. It is fitted with a fuse that protects your television. If your set has stopped
working, the fuse may have blown. If it has, replace it with an identical ASTA or BSI certified
(BS 1362) 5-amp fuse.
g
3. Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the
socket at the back of the TV
set.
The aerial socket (75 Ohms - VHF / UHF / cable) can be used for connecting an external aerial
or other equipment fitted with a modulator (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.).
We recommend that you do not connect other equipment (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.)
to your TV set to begin with, so as not to complicate the set-up procedure with the additional
steps involved. Connect them when you have finished setting up the channels by referring to
page 24 of this manual.
4. Switch the TV on by pressing the on/off button A on the side.The TV set takes up to
40 seconds to come on.
Important: read carefully the sections “Specific precautions for DLP™
TV sets” on page 3 and “Switching theTV set on and off” on page 10,
which give a detailed description of the procedure for switching theTV
set on and off.
Note:The first time you switch on the television, the language selection menu appears.
You will find a description of how to use the remote control on page 4.Then go to page 8
for information on the initial set-up, or to page 9 for information on manual set-up (if the
channels have already been set up on your TV).
Note: Before connecting other devices to the AV sockets, carry out the initial channel set-up
(described on the next page) in order to avoid any problems with equipment selection.
