eliminate the swirl effects that can sometimes mar the performance
of LCD screens when displaying moving images.
All image adjustments can be performed from 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.
Besides the usual checks, the Quality Control department also runs
additional statistical tests before dispatch. Therefore the packing may
show signs of having been opened.

The new HTL40 flat screen offers the ideal combination between
top TFT-LCD technology and an expert system for digital processing
of video signals.
Your new HTL40 system combines a top quality display unit with a
refined signal processing system. The 40’’ screen reflects the state
of the art of TFT-LCD technology, with 1366x768 pixel resolution
and the ability to display up to 16.7 million colours. In addition, this
device makes it possible to acquire a very broad range of different
video signals, thanks to an image processing section able to as-
sure optimum reproduction of all the different input signals, from
interlaced video to high definition video and graphics. The images
generated are always sharp, detailed, and with natural colours.
The large number of inputs available (1 Composite Video input, 1
S-Video input, up to 2 Component or RGB inputs, 1 graphic RGB
input, 1 DVI-D input, and 1 HDMI™ input) ensures the system sup-
ports a wide variety of analogue and digital sources: DVD players,
VCRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers, game consoles,
video cameras, etc.
Conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by
means of DCDi™ technology produces fluid, natural, images free
of flicker and stairstepping artifacts on diagonal lines.
Faithful reproduction of signals at higher resolutions (such as high
definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of detail or reduc-
tion of image sharpness thanks to the processor’s high pixel rate
signal acquisition capabilities.
In addition, the specific type of signal processing makes it possible to

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 unit.
The unit contains electrical parts carrying high voltages and operat-
ing at high temperatures. Do not remove the cover from the unit,
refer to qualified service personnel for all repair and maintenance
requirements. The warranty will be automatically invalidated if the
cover is removed from the unit.
• Power supply disconnect device.
The device for disconnecting the unit 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 unit from the electric
power supply, pull the plug to remove it from the socket outlet. Do
not pull the power cable.
• Connect the appliance only to the type of power supply indicated
Connect the unit to a mains electrical supply with rated voltage of
between 120-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and equipped with a protective
earth connection. If you are unsure of the type of mains power sup-
ply in your home, consult a qualified electrician. Take care to avoid
overloading the power socket and any extension leads.
• Connection of the unit to the mains power supply.
Make the connection as shown in Fig.1. Before connecting the

• Beware of power supply cables.
Position the cables carefully to avoid a trip hazard and make sure
they are kept out of reach of children. Install the unit as close as
possible to the wall electrical socket outlet. Do not tread on the
power cables, make sure that they are not tangled or pulled; do
not expose the power cables to heat sources; make sure that the
power cables do not become knotted or kinked. If the power cables
become damaged, stop using the system and request the assistance
of an authorised technician.
• Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply in the
event of electrical storms and when not in use.
To avoid damage that could be caused by lightning striking in the
vicinity of your home, disconnect the unit in the event of electri-
cal storms or when the system will remain unused for prolonged
periods.
• Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp.
Do not use the unit near water (sinks, tanks, etc.); do not place
objects containing liquids on top of or near the unit and do not
expose it to rain, humidity, dripping water or spray; do not use water
or liquid detergents to clean the unit.
• Prevent the unit from overheating.
Do not obstruct ventilation openings. Do not place the unit near
heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other devices that gener-
ate heat (including amplifiers). Do not position the unit in confined,
poorly ventilated places (bookcase, shelves, etc.).
• Never look directly at the projection 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.
