been set correctly to VCR or DVD, enter the necessary code set as explained
in “Programming the remote” (page 43).

“Projection lamp is nearing end

The TV does not turn on
• The TV cools down its projection lamp when the power is turned off. It
takes up to two minutes for the picture to come back after the TV is turned
on again. Wait for a while until the picture comes back.
• If the “High Temperature Warning!” message appears, turn off the TV and
wait until the TV’s projection lamp cools down (approximately 5 minutes).
If the remote control still does not work, make sure to dust the ventilation
slots on the rear of the TV and the cooling fan to provide adequate
ventilation around the TV.
The wide screen mode
changes spontaneously when
“Auto Wide” is “On”
• During a transition between two programs, the TV detects the optimum
wide screen mode. During this period, an irregular wide screen mode may
appear.
• The wide mode is switched automatically according to the revised signal
with a Wide ID signal.
• The Auto Wide feature stops working temporarily when you press , and
resumes after a while. To fix in the manually selected wide screen mode, set
“Auto Wide” to “Off” in the “Screen” menu (page 31).

screen after approximately 10
seconds and there is no
teletext display

cable and connection on the TV, VCR, and on the wall (page 14).

with an electronic gun or rifle cannot be used with your TV. For details, see
the instruction manual supplied with the video game software.
