All of which adds up to a system offering a video display of excellent quality, with close attention given to the aspects of definition, detail, colour and contrast. The RTX 55TV system is able to accept and process a wide range of video signals, thanks to a set of socket ports allowing connection to the widest imaginable variety of sources, analog and digital alike: DVD players, video recorders, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers, video game consoles, camcorders, etc. The image processing system of the RTX 55TV allows optimum reproduction of a wide range of input signals, from interlaced video to high definition and digital graphics.Interlaced video signals are converted into progressive signals by the highly acclaimed DCDiTM, technology, guaranteeing smooth, natural, flicker-free images without annoying pixel block effects. High resolution signals are reproduced faithfully and without loss of information or picture detail thanks to the powerful acquisition capacity of the system when handling video signals with high pixel rates. Different input signal resolutions can be adapted to match the specified screen resolution without loss of image quality, thanks to a generous selection of preset aspect ratios, some of which are user definable. All sound and picture adjustments can be made from the remote control interacting with a simple menu-activated On Screen Display (OSD); alternatively, adjustments can be made using the panel controls on the front edge of the cabinet. IMPORTANT: The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by SIM2 to ensure maximum quality. It is therefore possible that the life of the lamp initially may be no more than 30 - 60 hours. Besides the usual checks, the Quality Control department also runs additional statistical tests before despatch. In this instance the packaging may show signs of having been opened, and the hours operation of the lamp may be higher than the value required under standard procedures. 5 2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFETY power cable or the plug has been damaged, if liquids or solid objects have spilled over or fallen onto the cabinet, or if the appliance has been exposed to rain or damp, or dropped, or is simply not working as it should. Connect the appliance only to the type of power supply indicated Connect the RTX 55TV to a mains power supply rated 220V ±10%, 50/60 Hz and equipped with an earth system. The power cable of the appliance is equipped with a three pin plug incorporating the earth connection. Accordingly, make sure that the power socket and the mains supply where the appliance is to be installed are wired with earth connections, so that this protection is not lost. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Take care to avoid overloading the power socket and any extension leads. Be careful with cables. Arrange cables in such a way that they will not cause any obstruction. Keep cables out of the reach of small children. Install the RTX 55 TV as near as possible to the wall power socket. Avoid stepping on power cables, make certain they do not become tangled, and never jerk or tug; do not expose them to sources of heat, and make certain they do not become knotted or kinked, especially near to plugs and connectors or to the point where they leave the RTX 55TV cabinet. If cables become damaged in any way, contact your nearest Service Centre. Do not plug in or switch on the appliance using a defective cable. Disconnecting the appliance from the power supply. The appliance is isolated from the power supply by removing the plug from the power socket. When installing the appliance, make sure that the plug end of the cable and the mains power socket are easily accessible. To disconnect the appliance from the power supply, pull out the plug. Do not tug the cable. Disconnect the RTX 55TV during thunderstorms or when not in use. To prevent lightning strikes near your home from damaging the appliance, disconnect it from the power supply during thunderstorms or whenever it is not going to be used for any length of time.In these cases, it is advisable to remove the plug from the power socket and disconnect the aerial cable as well (Fig. 2). When switching off the appliance overnight,rather than leaving it in standby, switch it off at the main power switch ([32] Fig. 7). CAUTION! RISK OF ELECTROCUTION: DO NOT OPEN!

When the projection lamp inside the RTX 55TV is alight, it can be seen through the ventilation grilles:never look at this intense light directly as is could damage your eyesight. Make certain that children do not look at the lamp when it is alight. Avoid contact with internal parts of the appliance. Inside the cabinet there are electrical parts carrying dangerously high voltages and parts operating at high temperature. Never open the cabinet of your RTX 55TV. Entrust all servicing and repair work to an authorised Service Centre. If the cabinet is opened, the warranty will be invalidated. Also, if the appliance should develop a fault or malfunction, switch it off immediately, disconnect the cable from the power supply and contact your local Service Centre. Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp. Do not operate the RTX 55TV near water (wash basins, bathtubs, etc.); never place objects containing water or other liquids on top of or near the cabinet, and do not expose the appliance to rain and damp, or drops and splashes. Similarly, do not place candles or other naked flames on top of the RTX 55TV. If these should fall over, molten wax or flame can cause serious damage to the appliance both internally and externally. POSITIONING THE RTX 55TV SYSTEM · To obtain a picture with the right contrast, locate the appliance in a position where the screen will not reflect artificial light from fittings in the room, or sunlight entering through windows. · Select a well-ventilated position for the appliance, where it will not get too hot. Take care to avoid accidentally covering the ventilation grilles on the rear cover with newspapers, curtains etc. The grilles must remain free at all times to ensure adequate cooling of the internal electronic circuits.Leave suitable clearance for ventilation (at least 10 cm) all around the RTX 55TV: do not position the appliance in an alcove where the circulation of air will be restricted. · Do not position the RTX 55TV too near sources of heat (e.g. heaters, radiators, temperature control valves, etc.). · To avoid serious injuries and damage to property, position the appliance a flat, level and stable surface where it cannot fall, topple over or slide. With this in mind, if the RTX 55TV is mounted on a trolley base, take care when moving or repositioning it. Take care also to avoid impact. · Be careful to prevent children from poking objects into the cabinet, and do not let them play with the remote control batteries. · Do not allow children to play with parts of the packaging: plastic sheets, bags, boxes, etc., can cause suffocation and injury. CLEANING THE APPLIANCE · The cabinet should be cleaned with a soft and slightly moistened cloth. Do not use cleaning products containing abrasive substances, solvents or alcohol; never use water or liquid detergents directly on the appliance. · The RTX 55TV must be switched off at the main power switch ([32] Fig.7) while cleaning is in progress; take care to ensure that cleaning liquids do not infiltrate through the ventilation grilles. PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE REMOTE CONTROL · For the remote control to operate efficiently, always point the emitter directly at the screen, making certain there are no obstacles along the trajectory of the optical signal. · If the remote control is not going to be used for an appreciable length of time (e.g. a few weeks), remove the batteries from the pocket in the back of the handset (Fig. 4). · When the remote control batteries run low, replace both batteries at the same time, never one only. · Replace the batteries if the operation of the remote control becomes erratic, typically when the range or the angle of operation of the emitter becomes restricted. CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT · The materials used for packaging respond to current environmental standards. If you have enough spare room, it is advisable to keep the packaging of the appliance at least for the duration of the warranty period. · If the batteries used in the remote control are not "green" (eco-friendly), dispose of when spent by placing them in a dedicated pollutant waste collection bin. In any event, do not discard or dispose of spent batteries as normal refuse, and wherever possible, protect the environment by using mercury-free batteries. 7 3 INSTALLATION UNPACKING AND CONNECTIONS On opening the packaging, these parts will be found inside (Fig. 1): Display CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY Connect the one plug of the power cable (Fig. 1) to the power socket on the back of the appliance, and the other plug (Fig. 2) to an a.c. mains socket.
