• Avoid placing your set (e.g. near the window) where it is likely to be exposed to rain or water.

• No objects (such as vases) filled with liquids should be placed on top the TV so as to avoid dripping or splashing of liquids on the set.

Product highlights

100Hz Digital Scan

Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the

form of a field flickering picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering.

Progressive Scan

A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending

field A to the screen first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the

maximum resolution. At this speed, the human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

HDTV Monitor

HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in

the 1080i or 480p signal format. In order to do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top

box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to

the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning

realism in both picture and sound are delivered!

Saphlon™ Screen

Saphlon™ Screen technology is built with materials and processes that deliver more brightness and picture contrast. It guards against

most scratches and fingerprints and eliminates the glare associated with a separate protective screen.

Active Control

With over 3,000 picture adjustments per minute, this ‘proactive control system’ continuously analyzes incoming video signal qualities

for Dynamic Noise Reduction and sharpness and then automatically corrects them to be like the settings you previously selected in the

picture menu.

APAC

APAC is designed to minimize the effects of image retention from stationary images on the screen. Because both analog sources (cable

TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.), the picture on a

digital television may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom. When black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing

mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture pixel-by-pixel, just enough to soften image retention. APAC works in both the

analog and digital modes, so it provides excellent protection.

Product Highlights

The major benefit of this projection television is its large

viewing screen. To see the large screen at its best, test various

locations in the room to find the optimal spot for viewing.

Be sure to allow a minimum of 15 cm of space around the

TV.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet colour changes, and

increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where

temperatures can become excessively hot – for example, in

direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause

the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close to

the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the

TV until there is no picture distortion.

Insert the aerial plug firmly into the ANTENNA IN 75Ω

socket at the rear of the set.

Insert the mains plug in the wall socket. Refer to the back

of the TV set for the correct operation voltage. Consult

your local dealer if your main supply is different. To prevent

damaging the mains (AC) cord, which could cause hazard, do

not place the TV on the cord.

Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the remote

control. Insert the two batteries supplied (Type R6-1.5V).

The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals

mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless, in many countries

exhausted batteries may not be disposed of with your

household waste. Please check on how to dispose of

exhausted batteries according to local regulations.

See the battery caution statement on page 2.

Note: This remote control functions with TVs that use the RC5

signalling standard.

Switch the TV on: Press the mains power switch on the front

of the TV. If the Standby key is lighted, press the CH +/– keys,

digit keys or the Power key on the remote control. Or press
