About the TV
Cleaning
Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may
appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly
on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a defect.
s
Clean the rear cover area of the TV regularly. Dust in the rear cover
area may cause a problem with the cooling system of the TV set.
s
Clean the cabinet of the TV with a dry soft
Installation
cloth. To remove dust from the screen, wipe it
gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be
removed with a cloth slightly dampened with
solution of mild soap and warm water. Never
use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If the
picture becomes dark after using the TV for a long period of time, it
may be necessary to clean the inside of the TV. Consult qualified
service personnel.
s
If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen,
part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind
the screen. This is a structural property of the TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.
s
The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For
the best picture quality, install your TV according to
“Recommended Viewing Area” on page 13.
s
Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. Cleaning this
unit with a plugged AC power cord may result in electric shock.
s
When installing your TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10
cm) away from the wall.
On Contamination on the Screen Surface
The screen surface has a special coating to reduce reflections. To prevent
screen damage, clean the screen as follows:
Projection Lamp

Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to
replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:
s
s
Clean the screen with a soft cloth.
•
the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please
replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen,
To remove hard contamination, use a cloth moistened with a
solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray cleaning solution
directly onto the TV. It should only be sprayed to moisten the
cleaning cloth.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, acid cleaner,
scouring powder, chemical cloth, or solvent such as alcohol,
benzene or thinner, as these may scratch the screen's coating.

s
s
In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp
unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp
unit. (See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 66.)
Service
When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop
sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.
Damage Requiring Service
Do not attempt to service the set by yourself since opening
the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards.
Cooling Fan
This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear the noise of fan running,
depending on the placement of your TV. The noise may be more noticeable
during the night or when the background noise level is low.
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Disposal of Used Batteries
To preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to your
local laws or regulations.

Enjoying Your TV
To enjoy your TV for years to come and maintain its original picture quality,
you should perform periodic maintenance.
Notes on the TV
To enjoy clear picture
❑
Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly onto the
screen.
❑
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with
sharp or abrasive objects (see “On Contamination on the Screen
Surface” on page 5).
When not using the TV for a long period of time
❑
Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using
the TV for more than a week.
When turning off the power
❑
The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow
several minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the
breaker off.
On moisture condensation
❑
If your TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed
in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the
picture may blur or show poor color. This is caused by moisture
condensation on the lenses inside. Wait a few hours to let the moisture
evaporate before turning on the TV. When the condensation has
evaporated, the picture will return to normal.
Screen
To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating.
Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface. Special
care is required.
Cleaning the Screen Surface
Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture quality. To dust off the
screen use a soft cloth. Be sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 5
for stubborn stains and dirt.
Temporary Image Retention
When high contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel
numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image
retention on the screen. This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the
power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the
image retention.

Connecting the TV
Overview
To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and
select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect ratio
(see “Using the WIDE Button” on page 41). It is strongly recommended to
connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum
picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by
radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-
ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.
Making Video and
Audio Connections
The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in
the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types
of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of
connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or
satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV,
use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video
performance, as described below.

About Using
S VIDEO
If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack
(shown at left), you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture
quality (compared to an A/V cable). Because S VIDEO carries only
the video signal, you also need to connect audio cables for sound, as
shown below.

About Using HDMI
to DVI Adapter
If you are connecting equipment with DVI connector with this TV, you will
need to use an adapter. You can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable or an HDMI
adapter (not supplied). Both are available from your local electronics store.
When you use the adapter, you will also need to use separate audio cables
for sound as DVI connector is for video signals only.

Replacing the Lamp
The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and
functionality, which affects the overall performance of your Television. How
long the Lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending upon your usage
and environmental conditions. To maintain the quality of your viewing
experience, Sony recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) after
approximately 8,000 hours of use (the TV will display a message reminding
you to replace the lamp); (2) when the screen becomes dark or the color looks
unusual; or (3) when the LAMP indicator on the front of the TV flashes.
WARNING
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in
injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
❑
❑
❑
Use a Sony XL-2400 replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement.
Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.
Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing
so may cause injury or fire.
Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp
receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or
electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptable once the lamp has been
removed.
❑
❑
❑
When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop
sound. This is normal and it is inherent to this type of lamp.
In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit
is designed to contain all of the broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit.
This television's lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of
properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. "The
material contained in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp,
so you should dispose of it in the same way.
How to Replace the
Lamp
1 Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait several minutes, then unplug
the power cord.
(The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after
turning the power off.)
2 Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the power cord to allow the
lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not
touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.
3 Take the new lamp out of the box.
Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.
✍ Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp or
shorten its life.
✍
Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the
lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

✍ The lamp is very hot immediately after use. Never touch the
glass portion of the lamp or the surrounding parts.
✍ After the used lamp has cooled, place it into the empty box
of the replacement lamp. Never put the used lamp into a
plastic bag.
7 Put the new lamp into its place.
Mount the new lamp securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire or the
screen to go dark.
✍ If the lamp is not securely reattached, the self-diagnostic
function may be triggered and the POWER indicator flashes
three times (see page 11).

dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your TV’s large screen
and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for certain digitally recorded
optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
Certain programs on DVD or
other digital sources display a
loss of detail, especially during
fast-motion or dark scenes

Problem
Possible Remedies

❏
When the TV is in use, there is a natural rise in temperature, causing the cabinet to
expand or contract and may be accompanied by a slight creaking noise. This is not
a malfunction.

creaking sound is an inherent nature of this system and is not a defect.
Dust may be collected around the ventilation fan area blocking the ventilation
holes. Be sure to keep the fan area free from dust.
