Important notes about your DLP™ 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 32-33.

2) Each time you turn on the TV, it may take several minutes to

go from no picture to full picture brightness.

3) The TV's display is manufactured using an extremely high

level of precision technology; however, an occasional pixel
(dot of light) may show constantly on the screen. 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.

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
“Setting the Quick Restart feature” on page 19.

7) The green and orange LED on the lower right corner of the

TV screen indicate your TV’s current status. If either light

flashes, see “LED indications” on page 31 for details.

8) Review all safety and operating information in this owner’s

manual before you use your TV.

9) If you unplug the power cord while the TV is on, when you plug

the power cord in again then tum on the DC power, the lamp

will automatically retry up to several times. This is normal and

is not a sign of malfunction.
