Front Connection Panel

There are four jacks on the left side on your projection TV that make connecting Audio/Video devices like video games and cam- corders very simple.

The jacks are like those found on the back jack connection panel. This means that most equipment that connects to those types of jacks on the rear jackpack, may be connected to the front con- nection panel.

To use the front jacks as the signal source, select them using Main Input menu as described on page 25. They will be named ???Front Video??? in the Main Input menu.

If you input both Front Video and S-

Video, only the S-Video will work.

If you???re connecting a video game device, make sure to change the picture settings with the EZ Picture option in the Video menu (see page 29).

Home Theater: Speaker Layout

This is a typical speaker layout. Any number of other speaker setups are possible, and some changes may be needed to maximize your sound. However, a Dolby Digital Receiver is required to hear 5.1 channel audio.

Left and right speakers on each side of the TV enhance separation. The TV's sound optional hookup ???center mode in,??? makes the dialog sound as though it???s coming directly from the TV. The rear surround sound speakers provide

the majority of other sounds, like those from special effects in movies. Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low frequency sound, for rumbling low-end audio.

Sound is affected by speaker placement, so make sure nothing is in front of the speakers, and that they are aimed in appropriate directions.

You have the option of turning the TV speakers on or off.

Maintenance

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Please read pages 2-3-4 in the front of the manual and follow the recom- mendations provided. Careful and regular cleaning of your new TV can enhance its appearance and your viewing pleasure. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the plug before you begin any cleaning.

SCREEN CLEANING

1.Here???s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it???s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.

2.Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.

CABINET CLEANING

1.Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.

2.Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3.Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.

WOOD CABINETS

Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking new.

EXTENDED ABSENCE

If you intend to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it???s a good idea to unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.

PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Even though you may be getting cable service, the signal may be weak, which means the quality

of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV, consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable service provider to deter- mine if the problem is from the cable service.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS

If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that have single,

fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.

If static images, like network identification patterns, are left on the screen for too long, they can leave a perma- nent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of this happening by

limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and brightness levels.

If you unplug your TV from a wall power outlet, you may have to reset the clock using the Time menu described earlier.

Troubleshooting

Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself.

Snowy picture and unclear sound.

???Check your antenna connection or location.

???Check your cable input.

???Check to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected.

Interference: Sharp lines across the screen and unclear sound.

The following may cause image problems or distortion: Electrical appliances, powerful lights, cars, trucks; computers or portable phones; medical equipment

??? If possible increase the distance between your TV and the offending appliance. Or shut one of them off.

Normal picture but no sound.

???Check sound level.

???Make sure the TV sound is not muted.

???Try another channel. The problem may be the broadcast, not your TV.

???Are the Audio cables properly installed?

???Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers) properly installed?

???Make sure your speakers are turned on in the Audio menu.

???If your audio mode is set to SAP, that channel may not have an SAP program.

No picture and unclear sound.

???Are you in TV or cable tuning mode, and should be in the other?

???Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).

???Check that all connections are tight.

No picture and no sound.

???Is the AC power cord plugged in?

???Check that your AC power outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something else or try another outlet.)

???Make sure your brightness and audio controls are set properly.

???Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

No color, but the sound is O.K.

???Check the color settings in the Video menu.

???Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

Picture has a big black box on it, but the sound is O.K.

???The Caption option may be in Text mode. Select Caption 1, or OFF in the Captions/Text menu.

Picture has two horizontal black bars, one on top and one on bottom.

???Your program is in letterbox. This means that the shape of your TV is a square, but the program is a rectangle. Think of the bars as empty space the program doesn???t fill; not picture that???s blocked out. Because this format is a

direct representation of film as you see it in the movies, you are actually seeing MORE of the program when you see those bars.

The PIP inset is black or lacks contrast.

???Check to be sure that the PIP source is turned on.

???You might want to adjust the PIP picture settings under the PIP menu.

???Check that all the wires are connected properly.

???Check to see if your input source for PIP is set correctly.

The PIP inset is ???snow??? when the source is Antenna.
