Important notes about your DLP
TM
projection TV
1) The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a
limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture may
become dark or black, or the lamp may fail, at which time
you must replace the lamp unit. See “Lamp unit replacement
and care” on pages 98–100.
2) Each time you turn on the TV, it may take several seconds to
go from no picture to full picture brightness.
3) The display on this TV is manufactured using a chip that may
contain up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors. Each of these
micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a
human hair and represents a single pixel on the television
display. These micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that
enable them to titlt either toward the light source (ON) or
away from it (OFF). Occasionally, one of these mirrors may
become inoperative, creating a light or dark pixel on the
projection surface. This is a structural property of DLP™
projection TV technology, and is not a sign of malfunction.
Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a
normal viewing distance (see item 29 on page 4).
4) Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible,
although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see a
“rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare instances,
result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to
technology of this type, and is not a sign of TV malfunction.
5) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as
directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may be
affected by your viewing position and length of viewing time.
If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may suffer
from eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.
6)
This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate
the internal temperature. You may be able to hear
the fans for several minutes after the TV is turned
off. This is a function of the Quick Restart Low Power
Shutdown mode and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can
set the Quick Restart feature to stop the fans as soon as the
TV is turned off. See “Selecting the Quick Restart feature” on
page 50.
7) The green and red LED lights on the control touchpad (on
the lower right corner of the TV screen) indicate your TV’s
current status. If either light flashes, see “LED indications” on
page 94 for details.
8) Review all safety and operating information in this owner’s
manual before you use your TV.
