Introduction
Thank you for choosing InFocus® ScreenPlay®
Congratulations on purchasing this InFocus ScreenPlay High Definition Television (HDTV)
featuring Digital Light Processing™ (DLP™) technology—a true viewing experience. Your purchase
decision represents an investment in a new generation of technology—DLP and HDTV. Even
though this is a technologically advanced HDTV, it is the most user-friendly of its kind—with
comprehensive on-screen instructions that guide you through all of the TV’s features.
This introduction has three parts that describe why an InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV featuring DLP
technology is an excellent choice:
Part 1: DLP—brilliance in color, design, and technology
Part 2: Why InFocus ScreenPlay is better
Part 3: Other Key Features of owning an InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV
Part 1: DLP— brilliance, in color, design, and technology
InFocus ScreenPlay brings you brilliant pictures with Digital Light Processing (DLP) system — a
brilliantly choreographed, engineering marvel that combines microscopic mirrors, light, and color
to bring you the best and brightest pictures possible.
How DLP Works
In general, DLP combines microscopic mirrors, a specially
designed semiconductor, and a color wheel to adjust light to
display the most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP HDTV
doesn’t use red, green, and blue phosphors like Plasma or
Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don’t have to
worry about screen burn (fixed video images burning onto the
screen permanently) or convergence (realigning the CRTs). The
diagram on the left illustrates the complex system.
Thin and Light
The efficiency of DLP technology enabled our design team to
create a high-performance HDTV that is about 7 inches thin and
weighs approximately 125-140 pounds (depending on model).

Lamp Replacement
DLP technology uses a special lamp. Eventually, you’ll need to
replace this lamp, which you can do yourself by following the
replacement instructions on page 76. To order the correct lamp,
you’ll need to know your TV’s model number, serial number,
and lamp part number. The TV’s model number is located under
the front panel piece towards the bottom left corner. Go to page
10 for information on removing the front panel piece. The serial
and lamp part numbers are listed on the Service Model Number
sticker. The sticker is located on the lamp handle (see page 78).
For future reference, write down the information in the space
provided at the left.
