WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The Cinema Screen monitor is designed and manufactured

to provide long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other

than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the

panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to

clean the panel surface.

The Cinema Screen display panel consists of fine picture

elements (cells). Although the Cinema Screen display

panels are produced with more than 99.99 percent active

cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or

remain lit.

For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read

carefully and observe the following instructions.

To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal

heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a

closed cabinet or shelves.

The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install

the unit in an enclosure, be sure there is adequate

space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and

escape.

If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector

will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If

this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and un-

plug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is

installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a

cooler location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60

minutes.

If the problem persists, contact your Cinema Screen

dealer for service.

2. Do not use the power cord plug with extension cords

or outlets unless all prongs can be completely inserted.

3. Do not expose unit to water or moisture.

4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt

to modify the power cord.

5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not

be used over a long period.

6. Do not open the unit which has potentially dangerous

high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged

from opening the cabinet the warranty will be void.

Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. TCE is not

liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if

unqualified persons attempt service or open the back

cover. Refer all service to authorized Cinema Screen

Service Centers.

TO AVOID DAMAGE AND PROLONG OPERATING LIFE:

1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.

Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120

Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might

cause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it.

3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct

sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small

metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and

have it serviced by an authorized service center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes

flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly

recommended to use a trained, authorized Cinema

Screen dealer.

7. Like all phosphor-based display devices, Cinema

Screen monitors can be susceptible to uneven

phosphor aging under certain circumstances. Certain

operating conditions, such as the continuous display of

a static image over a prolonged period of time, can

result in uneven phosphor aging if proper precautions

are not taken. To protect your investment in this Cinema

Screen monitor, please adhere to the following

guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the

occurrence of uneven phosphor aging:

• Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver

function during use with a computer input source.

• Display a moving image whenever possible.

• Always power down the monitor when you are

finished using it.

• If viewing with a 4/3 aspect ratio for long periods of

time, set side gray level at 3 or 4.

IF THE CINEMA SCREEN MONITOR IS IN LONG TERM

USE

OR CONTINUOUS OPERATION TAKE THE

FOLLOWING

MEASURES TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD

UNEVEN PHOSPHOR AGING:

• Lower the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST levels as

much as possible without impairing image readability.

• Display an image with many colors and color

gradations (i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).

• Create image content with minimal contrast between

light and dark areas (for example, white characters on

black backgrounds). Use complementary or pastel

color whenever possible.

• Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.

USING Y OUR REMOTE CONTROL

INSERTING BATTERIES

1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the remote control.

2. Insert batteries (included) as shown on the diagram inside the

battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Use your remote control from a distance of about 7m/23 feet from the

monitor’s remote control sensor and at a horizontal angle of within

30°. The remote operates on line of sight, so if there is anything

blocking the path between the remote and the remote control sensor

on the front of the monitor, the remote may not work.

• Don’t expose the remote control sensor on the front of the monitor

to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.

• Don’t get the remote control wet.

• Avoid heat and humidity.

• When not using the remote for a long period of time, remove the

batteries.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

The universal remote control that came with your Cinema Screen

monitor is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and

PROSCAN VCRs, DVD players, laserdisc players, and satellite

receivers. This remote is also capable of operating many other brands

of remote-controllable electronic components, but you must program

it to do so.

FIND OUT IF Y OU NEED TO PROGRAM THE REMOTE

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,

turn on one of your components, such as a VCR. Point the remote

control at the component and press the component button (for

example, the VCR button). Now press the ON•OFF button on the

remote. If the component doesn’t turn off, you need to program the

remote control in order for it to operate that component.
