Front Connection Panel  
There are four jacks on the right front side behind the screen on  
your projection TV that make connecting Audio/Video devices like  
video games and camcorders very simple.  
The jacks are like those found on the back jack connection panel.  
This means that most equipment that connects to those types of  
jacks on the rear jackpack, may be connected to the front con-  
nection panel.  
To use the front jacks as the signal source, select them using  
Main Input menu as described on page 25. They will be named  
Front Videoin the Main Input menu.  
If you select either Front Video or  
Front S-Video, the Front audio inputs  
are automatically selected as well.  
If you’re connecting a video game  
device, make sure to change the  
picture settings with the EZ Picture  
option in the Video menu (see page  
29).

Maintenance  
Early malfunctions can be prevented. Please read pages 2, 3, and 4 in the front of the manual and follow the  
recommendations provided. Careful and regular cleaning can enhance the appearance of your new TV. Be sure to  
turn the power off and pull the plug out of the power outlet before you begin any cleaning.  
SCREEN CLEANING  
1. Heres a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of  
lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until its  
almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.  
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.  
CABINET CLEANING  
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.  
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.  
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.  
WOOD CABINETS  
Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep  
the cabinet looking new.  
EXTENDED ABSENCE  
If you intend to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), its a good idea to  
unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use  
an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.

Maintenance (Contd.)  
PICTURE INTERFERENCE  
Even though you may be getting cable service, the signal may be weak, which means the quality  
of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV,  
consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable  
service provider to determine if the problem is from the cable service.  
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS  
If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that have single,  
fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.  
If static images, like network identification patterns, are left on the screen for too long, they can  
leave a permanent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of this happening by  
limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and  
brightness levels.  
If you unplug your TV from a wall power outlet, you may have to reset the clock using the Time menu  
described earlier.

Check your antenna direction and/or location.  
Check your cable input.

Make sure the cable from your antenna to your TV is  
connected properly.  
The following may cause image problems or distortion:  
Electrical appliances, powerful lights, cars, trucks; computers or  
portable phones; medical equipment  
Interference: Sharp lines across  
the screen and unclear sound.  
If possible increase the distance between your TV and the offending appliance  
or shut one of them off.  
Check sound level.  
Make sure the TV sound is not muted.  
Normal picture but no sound.  
Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast, not your TV.  
Are the Audio cables connected properly?  
Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers)  
connected properly?  
Make sure your speakers are turned on inthe Audio menu.  
If your audio mode is set to SAP, that channel may not have an SAP program.  
Are you in TV or cable tuning mode, and should be in the other?  
Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).  
Check that all connections are tight.  
No picture and unclear sound.  
No picture and no sound.  
Is the AC power cord plugged in?  
Check that your AC power outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something  
else or try another outlet.)  
Make sure your brightness and audio controls are set properly.  
Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.  
Check the color settings in the Video menu.  
Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

The Caption option may be in Text mode. Select Caption 1, or OFF  
in the Captions/Text menu.  
Picture has a big black box  
on it, but the sound is O.K.  
Your program is in letterbox. This means that the shape of your TV is a  
square, but the program is a rectangle. Think of the bars as empty space the  
program doesnt fill; not picture thats blocked out. Because this format is a  
direct representation of film as you see it in the movies, you are actually seeing  
MORE of the program when you see those bars.  
Picture has two horizontal  
black bars, one on top and  
one on bottom.  
Missing Secret code  
If you forget the secret code, press the remote control Button 7, 7, 7and 7’
