There are four jacks on the left side on your projection TV that make connecting Audio/Video devices like video games and camcorders 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 side connection panel. To use the side jacks as the signal source, select them using Main Input menu as described on page 25. They will be named Side Video in the Main Input menu.
If you input both Side Video and SVideo, only the S-Video will work.

If you receive your RF signal through an antenna that is several years old and connects with two small prongs, you will need to purchase a 300 to 75 ohm adapter. It should be available from your local electronics dealer. We recommend using a 75 ohm cable for your antenna connections in order to prevent interference.
For best signal reception, it is recommended to have your Antenna professionally adjusted. PAGE 9

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), its 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 determine 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 permanent 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. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS 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. Check your antenna direction and/or location. Check your cable input. Make sure the cable from your antenna to your TV is properly connected. 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. 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.
