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 6
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
retained image.
Projection Lamp
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has a
lifespan and needs to be replaced when the LAMP LED blinks or the screen
becomes darker. Your TV also has a function to display a message
To replace the lamp,
see page 66.
“Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” to let you
❑
❑
❑
After turning on your TV, it may take a while (1 minute or less) before
the picture appears.
When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the
lamp with the supplied Sony XL-5300 lamp.
After the lamp is replaced, set the Lamp Replacement option in the
Setup settings (see page 62).
✍ Until you set the Lamp Replacement option, a message announcing
that the lamp is at the end of its life will appear every time you turn on
your TV.
✍ The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your TV is in use.
To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into the light housing when
the power is on.

Using the CableCARD Device
The CableCARD device provides cable subscribers with access to digitally
encrypted cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that will
enable you to receive not only standard definition but also high definition
television. The CableCARD device, which is provided by your cable TV
company, is inserted into the TV’s rear panel CableCARD slot. After the
service is activated with your cable TV company, the card replaces the need
for a separate set-top box.
About Using
the CableCARD
Device
If you are planning to use a separate cable box for digital cable TV services,
you may be able to receive programming using this TV with the
CableCARD device instead — except in the following circumstances:
❑
Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD service in your
viewing area.
❑
You want to access your cable TV company’s interactive or advanced
features (such as video-on-demand or, in some cases, pay-per-view). At
this time, these services require a bidirectional link, which are only
available through the use of a separate set-top box. CableCARD device
is currently a unidirectional device only, and cannot provide these
advanced services.
Check with your cable TV company for CableCARD service details,
limitations, pricing, and availability, all of which are determined by your
cable TV company — not Sony.
Activating
CableCARD Service
Before you can use CableCARD service, you need to insert the CableCARD
device (supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as
described below:
1
Insert the CableCARD device into the CableCARD slot.
✍ CAUTION: When inserting the CableCARD device, the top side of the
card should face front. Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result
in permanent damage to the card and the TV.
2
Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place.

The CableCARD device setup screen is automatically displayed. This
screen includes information your cable TV company will request before
they can activate your service.
z You can also access
information about your
CableCARD device in
the Channel settings
(see page 56).
4
5
Follow the displayed instructions: Phone your cable TV company. A
representative will guide you through the activation process.
After your CableCARD device is activated, your cable TV company
will download the service information, including the channel list, to the
CableCARD device. After the CableCARD device has acquired
channels from your cable TV company, the TV tunes to the lowest
available channel.
Removing the
CableCARD Device
In the event you want to cancel your service, contact your cable TV
company.
✍ Once the CableCARD device is removed, your TV will no longer decrypt
digital cable TV programming services that require CableCARD.
1
Push the eject button on the CableCARD slot to release the card.

2
Pull the CableCARD device straight out of the slot to remove it.
To install a different CableCARD device, follow the instructions in

Using the TV Guide On Screen System
Overview of the TV Guide On Screen System
Your TV features the TV Guide On Screen™ system that provides an 8-day rolling list of TV programming.
Use the Guide to find the shows you want to watch. The Guide allows you to search for shows by a variety
of program categories, title, actor, director and key word, as well as set reminders for programs you want to
watch. The Guide does not require a phone connection, and it’s free!
The on-screen interactive TV program guide provides the following main services.
❑
LISTINGS: Shows the available program listings for the next eight days including today. Provides a
description of programs selected.
❑
SEARCH: Allows you to find shows by keyword or by the following categories: alphabetically, HDTV,
movies, sports, children, educational, news, variety, series.
❑
❑
SCHEDULE: Allows you to review, edit, or delete program reminders that you set previously.
SETUP: Allows you to make changes in the system settings, channel display and default options after
initial Guide setup is completed.
✍ The TV Guide service requires access to selected broadcasts which may not be available in all cases.
✍ The TV Guide On Screen system provides listings for cable-ready TV (including CableCARD service)
as well as over-the-air broadcast. It does not provide listings for satellite or cable set-top box services.
✍ For the TV Guide On Screen system to function properly, the TV must be turned off when not in use
(such as when you are out of the house or overnight).
✍ The initial Guide setup must be completed before the TV Guide On Screen system is viewed (see
page 26 for more information).
✍ Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc. and/or its related affiliates are not in any way liable for the
accuracy or availability of the program schedule information or other data in the TV Guide On Screen
system and cannot guarantee service availability in your area. In no event shall Gemstar-TV Guide
International, Inc. and/or its related affiliates be liable for any damages in connection with the
accuracy or availability of the program schedule information or other data in the TV Guide On Screen
system.
✍ Although the TV Guide On Screen system offers rating information, the TV Parental Lock features use
the rating information in the TV broadcast. This may or may not be the same as the TV Guide On
Screen system.

Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and
functionality, which affects the overall performance of your TV. 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 4,000 hours of use; (2) when the screen becomes dark or the
color looks unusual; (3) when the LAMP LED on the front of the TV blinks;
or (4) when the lamp replacement message appears on the TV screen.
WARNING
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in
injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
❑
❑
❑
Use the supplied Sony XL-5300 lamp 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 receptacle 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 TV’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
2
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.)
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.

Other Information
✍ Do not touch the inside of the lamp compartment.
✍ 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.
Make sure the lamp is securely mounted into the compartment. Failure to
do so may cause a fire or the screen to go dark.
✍ The lamp compartment is tilted, as shown in the following
illustration.
✍ If the lamp is not securely reattached, the self-diagnostic function
may be triggered and the POWER LED blinks three times (see
page 37).
8
Reattach the lamp door.
To secure the door, turn the knob to the right while pushing the door in,
until the marks on the lid and the case line up. Then, turn the screw
clockwise to tighten the door.

Replace the cover, inserting it from the left side. Press the clamp on the
right side to secure the cover.
10 Turn on the TV and set the Lamp Replacement option in the Setup
settings (see page 62). This setting is necessary to inform you when the
next lamp replacement is needed.
✍ Until you set the Lamp Replacement option, a message
announcing that the lamp is at the end of its life will appear every
time you turn on the TV.
✍ Consult your Sony dealer for a Sony XL-5300 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.
The used lamp
For customers in the United States:

(http://www.eiae.org).
❑
Do not leave the used lamp near flammable materials or within the
reach of children.
❑
Do not pour water onto the used lamp or put any object inside the lamp.
Doing so may cause the lamp to burst.

TV Guide On Screen
System
Problem
Possible Remedies
The TV Guide On Screen
system does not show channel
lineups nor program listings
after initial setup
❏
It can take up to 24 hours for the TV Guide On Screen system to collect channel
lineup and program listings information.
❏
The Guide collects data when the TV is turned off (via the POWER button on the
remote control or front panel of the TV), so the TV must be turned off for an
extended period of time (e.g. midnight to 6 AM) to collect the lineup and listings
information. The Guide information is sent multiple times within a day, so that
normal TV watching does not interfere with the collection of programming
listings.
❏
Please check your Cable signal feed is connected to the Cable input on the TV,
and likewise, if an Antenna is used to collect over-the-air broadcasts, please make
sure the Antenna signal feed is connected to the Antenna input on the TV. The
Cable and Antenna feeds must be connected directly to the TV. Cable set-top
boxes, for example, may not pass the signal required for the Guide to collect
lineup and listings data.
❏
❏
Verify the setup information is correct, per Change system settings on page 46.
Listings are missing for some
of the days represented in the
Guide
It takes 6 days after initial setup to acquire for all 8 days represented in the Guide.
Thereafter, Guide data is updated daily. The TV must be turned off (via the
POWER button on the remote control) on a daily basis in order for the listings
information to be continually updated.
A channel lineup (channel
names, numbers and logos)
appears in the LISTINGS
screen, but there are no
program titles
❏
If you can see the channel lineup, the Guide is collecting data, but additional time
is required to collect the program listings information.
After a power failure, the
program listings and current
time do not appear
❏
❏
Turn the TV off using the POWER button on the remote control. New program
listings and the current time should become available within 24 hours. Note that
the current time information often appears before the program listings.
Some channel numbers in the
Guide are incorrect
Correct the channel numbers using the Change channel display under SETUP
service (see page 46).
The TV did not tune to a show
that was scheduled with the
Reminder feature
❏
❏
Check the SCHEDULE menu and make sure that the program is listed.
Highlight the program under LISTINGS and do the following.
• Press the MENU button on the remote control
• Press the v to highlight edit reminder, and press
.
• Make sure that the auto tune option reads yes.

Other Information
Problem
Possible Remedies
On a dual-feed cable system
(“A” and “B” feed), the Guide
collects data intermittently
❏
The TV might be connected to the wrong feed. To test this, try changing the feed
when you leave the TV in standby mode (i.e. when you turn the TV off using the
POWER button on the remote control or front panel of the TV) to receive the
updated Guide data. The Guide only updates data on the feed that originally
collected the data. For example, if the Guide collected data on the “A” feed, then
you must leave the TV on the “A” feed when you put it in standby mode. If you
left the TV on the “B” feed in this example, the Guide would not be able to update
any data.
❏
If, after trying both feeds, the Guide still does not have data, please contact Sony.
Remote Control
Problem
Possible Remedies
Remote control does not
operate
❏
The batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries.
Check the orientation of the batteries.
Press TV (FUNCTION) once, and the TV indicator lights up. You may have
inadvertently pressed SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION), which changes the remote

❏
❏
❏
❏
Make sure this unit’s power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet.
Fluorescent lamps can interfere with remote control operation; try turning off the
fluorescent lamps.
❏
❏
Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
If the “WARNING: TV temperature is high.” message appears, turn off the TV
and wait until the TV’s projection lamp cools down (approximately 5 minutes). If
the remote control still does not work, make sure to dust the ventilation slots on
the rear of the TV and the cooling fan to provide adequate ventilation around the
TV.
Cannot change channels with
the remote control
❏
❏
❏
If you are using the TV to change channels, first press TV (FUNCTION) once,
and the TV indicator lights up.
If you are using another device to change channels, be sure you have not
inadvertently switched your TV from the channel 3 or 4 setting.
If you are using another device to change channels, be sure to press FUNCTION
for that device. For example, if you are using your cable box to change channels,
be sure to press SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION) once, and the SAT/CABLE indicator
lights up.
Remote control does not
operate non-Sony video
equipment
❏
❏
❏
If you replaced the batteries to the remote recently, the code numbers for the video
equipment may need to be reset.
There may be more than one code for the equipment that you are attempting to
operate.
There is a possibility that some non-Sony equipment cannot be operated by your
Sony TV remote. You may need to use the equipment’s original remote control.

programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details,
check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program
provider).
Certain programs on DVD or
other digital sources display a
loss of detail, especially during
fast-motion or dark scenes
❏
The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your
TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or
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
programs. Adjust the Reality/Clarity in the DRC Palette setting (see page 50) to
optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

TV cabinet creaks
❏
❏
❏
❏
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.
Advanced Iris applies a mechanical iris system. When Advanced Iris is set, a
natural creaking noise occurs due to the basic structure of the optical unit. The
creaking sound is an inherent nature of this system and is not a defect.
If the TV is used at high altitudes and Cooling Mode is set to High, the cooling
fan runs faster and its sound becomes louder. If the TV is not used at high
altitudes, set Cooling Mode to Normal (see page 62).
Make sure to remove dust from the ventilation slots on the rear and both sides of
the TV. In addition, make sure that there are no obstacles in front of the ventilation
slots, and keep the slots at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall. If the
message still appears after the dust or obstacles are removed, the TV may need
servicing. Call your local Sony Service Center.
