Viewing the TV  
•
•
•
To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing  
position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical  
length away from the TV set.  
View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor  
light strains your eyes. Watching the screen continuously  
for long periods of time can also strain your eyes.  
If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base  
of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from  
becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get  
your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.  
Volume adjustment  
•
Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours.  
Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing  
the windows or using headphones is suggested.  
•
When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid  
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.  
Overloading  
This TV set is designed to operate on  
a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take  
care not to connect too many  
appliances to the same mains socket  
as this could result in fire or electric  
shock.  
Heat  
Do not touch the surface of the TV set. It remains hot, even  
after the TV set has been turned off for some time.  
Corrosion  
If you use this TV set near the seashore, salt may corrode  
metal parts of the TV set and cause internal damage or fire.  
It may also shorten the life of the TV set. Steps should be  
taken to reduce the humidity and moderate the temperature  
of the area where the TV set is located.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/  
cabinet of the TV set  
The screen surface is finished with a special coating to  
prevent strong light reflections.  
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,  
observe the following precautions.  
Precautions  
LCD Panel  
•
Although the LCD panel is made with high-precision  
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,  
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,  
or green) may appear constantly on the LCD panel. This is  
a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a  
malfunction.  
•
Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or  
throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.  
Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set  
continuously for a long period as the display panel  
becomes hot.  
•
•
•
Do not expose the LCD panel surface to the sun. Doing so  
may damage the screen surface.  
Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on  
top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD  
panel may be damaged.  
•
•
We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little  
as possible.  
To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe  
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a  
soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent  
solution. You can wash and repeatedly use the soft cloth.  
Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,  
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,  
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or  
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl  
materials may result in damage to the screen surface and  
cabinet material.  
•
If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in  
the picture or the picture may become dark.  
This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena  
disappear as the temperature rises.  
•
•
•
•
•
Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed  
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.  
The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in  
use. This is not a malfunction.  
The LCD contains a small amount of liquid crystal and  
mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this TV set also  
contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and  
regulations for disposal.  
The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To  
ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the  
dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.

Replacing the lamp  
When the lamp becomes dark or the picture colour is not normal or the lamp indicator on the TV set flashes, replace  
with a new lamp.  
Tips  
• Only use the lamp XL-2400 for replacement. If you use another lamp, it may cause damage to the TV set.  
• Do not remove the lamp except when replacing it.  
• Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.  
• Replace the lamp only after it becomes cool. The front glass of the lamp remains at least 100 °C (212 °F) even  
after the power has been turned off for 30 minutes.  
• Do not place the old lamp in proximity to children or flammable material.  
• Do not get the old lamp wet, or insert objects inside the lamp. It may cause the lamp to explode.  
• Do not place the old lamp near easily flammable objects, as this may cause fire. Also, do not put your hand inside  
the lamp compartment, as you may be burned.  
• Attach the new lamp securely. If it is not securely attached, the picture may become dark.  
• Do not touch or stain the front glass of the new lamp or the glass of the lamp compartment. If the glass become  
dirty, the picture quality may deteriorate or the lamp life may shorten.  
• Attach the lamp cover firmly. If it is not firmly attached, the power will not turn on.  
• When the lamp burns out, a noise is audible. This does not indicate damage to the TV set.  
• Consult your nearest Sony service center to obtain a new lamp.  
• Always remember to dispose of used lamps in an evironmentally friendly way.  
1 Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.  
If you start changing the lamp without disconnecting the power cord, the standby indicator  
Disconnect the power cord to continue changing the lamp.  
on the TV set flashes.  
2 Replace the lamp 30 minutes or more after the power is turned off to allow it to cool.  
3 Take the new lamp out of the box.  
Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.  
Tips  
• 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.  
4 Remove the outside lamp cover  
5 Remove the lamp door.  
Turn the knob counterclockwise to OPEN and pull out the cover.  
39  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
6 Pull out the lamp.  
Hook a finger through the loop of the lamp handle and pull the handle upwards. Then pull the lamp straight out.  
Tips  
• 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.  
Tip  
• If the lamp is not securely reattached, the self-diagnostic function may be triggered and the POWER/STANDBY  
indicator flashes three times (see page 9).  
8 Reattach the lamp door.  
Turn the knob back to CLOSE and secure the cover.

9 Put the outside lamp cover back in its place.  
Tips  
• Consult your Sony dealer for a Sony XL-2400 replacement lamp.  
• Take great care when replacing the lamp or plugging in/unplugging the connecting cords. Rough handling may cause  
the TV to fall, damaging the TV, the TV stand and the floor.
