    Vidikron limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty period. There 
    are no express warranties. Vidikron also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental or consequential damages related to 
    the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, 
    and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or 
    exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary 
    from state to state.
     
    This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original bill of sale as 
    evidence of the purchase date.
     
    Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Vidikron knows how to reach you promptly if we 
    should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.
     
    Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Vidikron video product will be performed at the location 
    of the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating distance from a Vidikron 
    Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Vidikron factory for repairs. 
    If, solely in Vidikron’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest Vidikron 
    Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Vidikron factory, it is the owner ’s responsibility 
    to arrange for shipment of the product for repair.  These arrangements must be made through the selling Vidikron Dealer. If 
    this is not possible, contact Vidikron directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Vidikron will return 
    product transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping costs 
    will be the responsibility of the owner.

    Thank you for your purchase of this quality Vidikron video projector! It has been designed 
    to provide you with the quality of video that is expected in a home theater. For the best 
    per formance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the menus and 
    operation.
    WARNING
    This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” 
    within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of 
    electric shock.
    This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and 
    maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
    This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital 
    device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable 
    protection against harmful inter ference in a residential installation.
    1.  Read these instructions.
    2.  Keep these instructions.
    3.  Heed all warnings.
    4.  Do not use this projector near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the    
      elements.
    5.  Clean only with a dry cloth.
    6.  Do not block any ventilation openings.
    7.  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or  
      other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
    8.  Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized  
      type plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has 
      two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your 
      safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 
      the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
    9.  Do not connect the RJ-11 RS-232 jack to a telephone line connection.
    10.  The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any  
      other power input or output. This could cause damage to this unit.
    11.  Only use accessories specified by Vidikron.
    12.  Keep the packing material in case the projector should ever need to be shipped.
    13.  Unplug this projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for an 
      extended period of time.
    14.  The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down  
      for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.  
      Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps  
      beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.
    15.  Refer all ser vicing to qualified ser vice personnel. Ser vicing is required when the 
      projector has been damaged in any way, objects have fallen or spilled into the  
      projector, the projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate  
      normally, or has been dropped.
