Introduction Thank you for choosing RCA Scenium Congratulations on purchasing this RCA Scenium High Definition Television (HDTV) featuring Digital Light Processing™ (DLP™) 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 onscreen instructions that guide you through all of the TV's features. This introduction has three parts that describe why an RCA Scenium HDTV featuring DLP technology is an excellent choice: Part 1: DLP-brilliance in color, design, and technology Part 2: Why RCA Scenium DLP is better Part 3: Other Key Features of owning an RCA Scenium HDTV Part 1: DLP- brilliance, in color, design, and technology RCA Scenium brings you brilliant pictures with Digital Light Processing (DLP) system - a brilliantly choreographed, engineering marvel that combines microscopic mirrors, light, and color to bring you the best and brightest pictures possible. 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 red, green, and blue phosphors like Plasma or 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. Thin and Light The efficiency of DLP technology enabled our design team to create a high-performance HDTV that is about 7 inches thin and weighs approximately 125-140 pounds (depending on model).
