Do not obstruct ventilation openings. Do not place the units near heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other devices that generate heat (including amplifiers). Do not position the units in confined, poorly ventilated places (bookcase, shelves, etc.). · Do not expose the eyes to the intense light emitted by the lamp. Never look directly at the lamp through the ventilation opening when the unit is switched on. Risk of eyesight impairment. Ensure also that children do not look directly at the lamp. · Position the unit on a stable surface. To avoid serious injury to persons and damage to property, make sure the units are placed on a level, flat and stable surface from which they cannot fall, tip over or slide. Pay special attention if the units are placed on a trolley so that they can be moved around. Ensure that the units are not subjected to impact. · Do not insert objects through the units' openings. Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the units. If this should occur, disconnect the unit from the power supply immediately and call an authorised technician. · · For customers in Canada This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. For customers in the United Kingdom· ATTENTION: This apparatus must be earthed. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green-and-Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or greenand- yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. This symbol indicates the possible electric shock hazard associated with uninsulated live components in the interior of the unit. This symbol indicates the presence of important instructions regarding use and maintenance of the product. The RTX system consists of two parts connected by a fibre optic cable: the DigiOptical Image Processor and the Display. In this manual references to the "unit" refer to one of the two units that make up the system. · Read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place for future consultation. This manual contains important information on how to install and use this equipment correctly. Before using the equipment, read the safety prescriptions and instructions carefully. Keep the manual for future consultation. · Do not touch internal parts of the units. The units contain electrical parts carrying high voltages and operating at high temperatures. Do not remove the cover from the units, refer to qualified service personnel for all repair and maintenance requirements. The warranty will be automatically invalidated if the cover is removed from the units. · Power supply disconnect device. The device for disconnecting the units from the mains power supply is constituted by the power cable plug. Ensure that the power cable plugs and the electrical mains socket outlets are easily accessible during installation operations. To disconnect the units from the electric power supply, pull the plug to remove it from the socket outlet. Do not pull the power cable. · Use only the specified type of mains power supply. Connect the units to a mains electrical supply with rated voltage of between 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and equipped with a protective earth connection. If you are unsure of the type of mains power supply in your home, consult a qualified electrician. Ensure that the power draw of the units is commensurate with the rating of the electrical socket outlets and any extension cables that are used. · Federal Communication Commission (FCC Statement). 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 interference when the equipment is used in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determinated by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encuraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The RTX system combines the signal processing capabilities of the DigiOptical Image Processor with the high fidelity reproduction of the DLPTM technology Display by linking the two units via a fibre optic cable. 4 The DigiOptical Image Processor, which should be ideally located close to the signal sources, supports and processes a wide range of video signals, transmitting them to the display by means of a fibre optic link cable. The large number of inputs available (2 Composite Video inputs, 2 S-Video inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2 graphic RGB inputs and 1 DVI-D input) ensures the system supports a wide variety of analogue and digital sources: DVD players, VCRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers, game consoles, video cameras, etc. The signal processing capabilities of the Image Processor ensure optimum reproduction of a broad range of input signals, from interlaced video to high definition and graphics. Conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by means of prestigious DCDiTM technology produces fluid, natural, images free of flicker and stairstepping artefacts. Faithful reproduction of signals at higher resolutions (such as high definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of information or reduction of image sharpness thanks to the processor's high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities. Adaptation of the input signal resolution to the Display resolution occurs without alterations of image quality, in accordance with an ample choice of aspect ratios, including several definable by the user. All image adjustments can be performed with the remote control with the aid of the On Screen Display; alternatively, the unit can be controlled by from a home automation system through the serial port. The Display, with its elegant and original design, produces an image using the very latest Texas Instruments DLPTM technology (1280x720 pixel DMDTM panel with 12° technology), a proprietary dust-sealed optical system, a new six-segment colour wheel and a new type of Fresnel lens. All these features combine to provide a top quality image, with definition, sharpness, colorimetry and contrast on a par with the famous frontal projectors in SIM2's Grand Cinema line. The two units are connected via a ...
