1 PRESENTATATION OF THE RTX 55TV The Display, of elegant and original design, generates images utilizing the most recent DLP™ chip by Texas Instruments (DMD™ panel with 1280x720 resolution featuring 12° technology), a proprietary sealed dustproof optical engine, a new six segment colour wheel and a Fresnel lens of new conception. 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.
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. CAUTION! RISK OF ELECTROCUTION: DO NOT OPEN! This symbol warns of the risk involved in removing the rear cover. Whatever the reason, the rear cover must be removed only by a qualified and authorised service technician.
Never look directly at the projection lamp. 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.
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.

• do not jerk cables when disconnecting them from any appliance. Audio-video devices (TV receivers, video recorders, DVD players, etc.) often have several outputs. To obtain top performance from your RTX 55TV display, take care over selection of the best output to use. Generally speaking the best signal format for image quality is RGB, followed by Component Video, S-Video and Composite Video, in this order.
• AV GRAPHIC - RGB socket Allows the INPUT of an S-Video signal, using a cable with a mini-DIN type connector. The external appliance providing the signal (typically a personal computer or video games console) must be able to provide separate H/V or composite H+V synchronisation signals. The video or graphic signals arriving at this socket must have a horizontal scan (H-sync) rate between 15 and 110 kHz and a vertical scan (V- sync) rate between 40 and 100 Hz.

[2] These switch on the projector from stand-by, allowing direct selection of the desired TV channel. Used to enter the number of a page or sub-page, which will bring the page up on the screen. Can be used to enter a protection code. [3] Activates the Other Functions menu of the OSD. Captures pages of the topic highlighted in cyan (page n° or title).
BUTTON TV [13] TXT Pressed once, enlarges the top half of the page; pressed a second time, enlarges the bottom half, and pressed a third time, restores the full page to normal size. [14] Freezes the current frame of the picture. Pressed once, holds a sub-page temporarily. Pressed a second time, releases the page. [15] Displays the current time. Captures a sub-page directly, avoiding the automatic change pause.
BUTTON TV TXT OSD [24] Reduces volume. Reduces the values of the control bar for the selected item; in the case of a hidden selection, cycles through the available options in the same way as button [23], in reverse order. [25] Selects the next programme in sequence, in ascending numerical order. [26] Switches the television off, reverting to stand-by. Switches the television on when in stand-by.
FUNCTION BUTTONS ON THE RTX 55TV CABINET The control panel (Fig. 6) located on the upper part of the cabinet (top right), allows you to operate all the main functions even without the remote control. The main power switch ([32] Fig. 7) is located at the back of the cabinet, on the left hand side. NOTE: The “ESC” and “AUTO” buttons (Fig. 6) are not active.
Automatic shut-down The RTX 55TV is equipped with a safety feature ensuring that in the absence of a television broadcast signal (for example late at night when certain channels close down and ʻsnowʼ appears on the screen), the internal circuits will switch automatically to stand-by after about 15 minutes. Switching off completely To switch off the appliance completely (and isolate it from the power supply, for example at the end of a dayʼs viewing), simply press the main power switch [32] Fig.7.

SELECTING THE AUDIO-VIDEO SOURCE Having connected any external appliances to the RTX 55TV by plugging in the relative cables, the socket to which each one is connected must be selected via the OSD before the corresponding audio/visual signal can be reproduced. This is done internally of a menu activated by pressing the AV button [10], dedicated to selection of the sockets.
The automatic procedure is recommended, especially when installing the appliance, to ensure quick and easy tuning of all the channels available in your area. Tuning and storing channels automatically This procedure uses an Automatic Tuning System (ATS) to log all of the receivable channels associated with broadcasters in your area, and store them automatically under corresponding programme numbers.
If the quality of reception is poor, try varying the reception frequency slightly, as follows: 8) Scroll through the menu to “Fine Tune”, which is in the Installation sub-menu, then move the slider one way or the other until the picture and sound are free of interference.
• “DELETE” (in yellow) This function can be used to remove an unwanted channel from the table: in reality, the channel is simply moved to the last programme number (99).To delete a channel, proceed internally of the Overview menu as follows: 1) Scroll through the list of programmes and select the one you want to delete. 2) Press the yellow button [4] on the remote control to delete the selected channel.
SOUND ADJUSTMENTS Adjusting the volume To adjust the overall audio volume, use the left/right arrow buttons [23 or 24]: the caption “Volume” appears on the screen together with a slider control. Using the remote control, the audio volume can be lowered with the left arrow [24] or raised with the right arrow [23]. The same adjustment can be made using the left/right arrow buttons [28] and [30] of the cabinet controls.
The other two options available in this sub-menu are “HI-FI” and “HI-FI fixed”. • “HI-FI”: this preset can be selected when you want to use the Cinch Audio outputs on the back of the cabinet to connect to an external amplification system. When selecting this output, the speakers of the cabinet will switched automatically to the “mute” condition.
IMPORTANT: Before adjusting these items as described below, go to “Preset” and select one of the three options “Voice”, “Music” and “Concert”. Any adjustments made to other items at this point will affect only the option selected. It is advisable to repeat these settings for each of the available options (“Voice”, “Music” and “Concert”).

ADVANCED ADJ.: these can be used to make more specific adjustments to the picture.
Cinema mode : selecting AUTO, the deinterlacer determines automatically whether or not the video signal comes from a movie film (processed on Telecine equipment using 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown) and applies a deinterlacing algorithm optimised for this type of signal. If on the other hand the video signal does not come from a film, or the OFF option is selected, the deinterlacer applies a “motion compensated” algorithm optimised for signals generated by TV cameras. Sharp. filt.
- Selecting sub-pages: Videotext topics are often displayed on sets of pages referred to as ‘sub-pages’, which will be displayed automatically by the RTX 55TV in sequence. In these cases a page indicator appears on the screen, for example 6/18, which tells you that the page currently displayed is sub-page 6 in a total of 18 sub-pages.
5 OPERATION IN GRAPHIC MONITOR MODE The operation of the RTX 55TV as a graphic monitor is piloted by signals received from the DB15 socket (AV Graphic unit) or 32 KHz signals (RGB + Sync or YCbCr) received from the socket ports of the AV DVD unit. Once the RTX 55TV has been connected to external appliances (e.g. computer, video games console etc.), by plugging the relative cables into the sockets, you can display the video signal from the required source by selecting the corresponding socket from the OSD.
BUTTON GRAPHIC MONITOR [1] After quitting Graphic Monitor mode, switches the television off, reverting to stand-by. [2] Activates the Picture, Image and Setup menus with successive touches. [3] If there is no menu active, lowers the audio volume. With a menu active, decreases the values on the control bar for the item selected; in the case of a hidden selection, cycles through the available options in the same way as button [5], in reverse order.
VIDEO ADJUSTMENTS The quality of the graphic image on the screen can be improved by way of the options and settings of the Picture menu (displayed by pressing button [2] once) or the Image menu (displayed by pressing button [2] a second time).
