Servicing
About the LCD Projection TV
Do not attempt to service the set by yourself
since opening the cabinet may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Although the LCD projection TV is made with high-
precision technology, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly
on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the
LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician certifies in writing that he has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have
the same characteristics as the original parts.
Installation
❑
If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines
on the screen, part of the screen appears white due to
reflections from behind the screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD Projection TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or
direct sunlight.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs
to the set, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks (as specified
by the manufacturer) to determine that the
set is in safe operating condition, and to so
certify. When the set reaches the end of its
useful life, improper disposal could result
in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified
service technician to dispose of the set.
❑
The picture quality may be affected by your viewing
position. If you view the TV close to you, you may
suffer from eye fatigue.
For the best picture quality, install your LCD
projection TV according to the operating
instructions.

its light source. When the projection lamp wears out
after using the LCD projection TV for a long period
of time, the screen image becomes dark, or no image
will appear on the display. If the lamp replacement
indicator of the front panel blinks in red, replace the
lamp with a new one (not supplied). In some cases,
the lamp bursts inside the lamp unit noisily, but the
lamp unit is securely designed so that the pieces of
broken glass remain inside the lamp unit. (See
Watch your footing while installing the LCD Projection

Using the Features
❑ Hookups that affect your ability to use Twin View:
- If you are viewing all channels through the cable box, the Twin
View feature will not work. The cable box only unscrambles one
signal at a time, so the right picture will be the same as the left
picture.
- You can watch a scrambled cable channel and another video
source. Be sure your DVD player, VCR or satellite receiver are
connected to one of the VIDEO IN 1-7 and AUX inputs on the rear
of the LCD projection TV. Pictures from equipment connected to
HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, DVI-HDTV IN 7, and AUX will only appear in
the left picture, not in the right.
❑ The active picture is highlighted in cyan.
Factors Affecting Twin View
❑
If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in
both windows because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a
time.
❑
If you use a cable box, you can view the cable box output in one window
and view a different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the
second window by using the TV/VIDEO button.

Check antenna/cable connections.
It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to
get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by
radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin
lead cable, keep it away as far as possible from the LCD projection TV.
Do not use an indoor antenna because it is especially susceptible to radio noise (see
page 25).
