Introduction Thank you for choosing RCA Congratulations on purchasing this RCA High Definition Television (HDTV) featuring DLP™ (Digital Light Processing™) technology-a true viewing experience. Your purchase decision represents an investment in a new generation of technology- DLP™ and HDTV. Even though this is a technologically advanced HDTV, it is the most user-friendly of its kind- with comprehensive on-screen instructions that guide you through all of the TV's features. This introduction describes three reasons why an RCA HDTV featuring DLP™ technology is an excellent choice: DLP™-brilliance in color, design, and technology Why RCA DLP™ is better? Other Key Features of owning an RCA HDTV Part 1: DLP™- brilliance, in color, design, and technology RCA brings you brilliant pictures with Digital Light Processing™ system (DLP™) - a brilliantly choreographed, engineering marvel that combines microscopic mirrors, light, and color to bring you the best and brightest pictures possible. Condenser Lens Fold Mirror UV/IR Filter Light Pipe DMDTM Chip with DMD Window Assembly Arc Lamp TIR Prism How DLP™ Works In general, DLP™ combines microscopic mirrors, a specially designed semiconductor, and a color wheel to adjust light to display the most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP™ HDTV doesn't use Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don't have to worry about screen burn (fixed video images burning onto the screen permanently) or convergence (realigning the CRTs). The diagram on the left illustrates the complex system. Color Wheel Relay Lens Projection Lens Thin and Light The efficiency of DLP™ technology enabled our design team to create a high-performance HDTV that is about 16 inches thin and weighs less than 100 pounds. Fold Mirror Lamp Replacement DLP technology uses a special lamp. Eventually, you'll need to replace this lamp. To order the correct lamp, you'll need to know your TV's model number, serial number, and lamp type-this information is listed on the Service Model Number sticker (example of the sticker is shown at right). The sticker is located on the right side of the TV. For quick reference, write down the information in the space provided at the right.
