Notes on the LCD  
Projection TV  
To enjoy clear pictures  
Be sure not to allow sunlight or light from a lamp to shine directly onto  
the screen.  
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with a  
sharp or abrasive object (see “Use of the Cleaning Cloth” below).  
On moisture condensation  
If your LCD projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm  
location, is placed in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes  
suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is  
because moisture has condensed on the lenses inside. If this happens,  
leave the power on and let the moisture evaporate before using your  
LCD projection TV.  
When the LCD projection TV will not be used for a long period of time  
Turn off the main power on the front of your LCD projection TV before  
going to sleep or going out. Disconnect the AC plug if idle for more  
than 7 days.  
When turning off the power  
Be sure to turn off the power switch on the main unit or on the remote  
control. After turning off the power, the fan will continue to blow for  
about two minutes. Be sure to wait for several minutes after turning the  
power off when unplugging from the outlet or switching the breaker off.  
When carrying the LCD projection TV  
Disconnect the connections.  
Use of the Cleaning  
Cloth  
To remove dust from the front of the screen, wipe with the supplied Cleaning  
Cloth.  
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder,  
window cleaners or solvent such as alcohol or benzene. Otherwise, this  
type of contact may result in a damaged screen.  
To clean the screen, please use the supplied Cleaning Cloth lightly  
moistened with water diluted mild detergent solution. Do not apply heavy  
press when cleaning.  
The supplied Cleaning Cloth is washable with warm water and a mild  
detergent solution, and can be used repeatedly.

Introducing the Sony LCD Projection TV  
Replacing the Lamp  
The projection lamp has a limited life which illuminates the picture.  
If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or the LAMP indicator  
on the front of the LCD projection TV flashes, it is time to replace the lamp  
with a new one (not supplied).  
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-2100U replacement lamp (not supplied) for  
replacement. Failure to do so may damage the LCD projection TV.  
Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement.  
Failure to do so may cause fire or a skin burn.  
Before replacing the lamp, turn the power off on the main unit, then  
several minutes later, unplug the power cord. (The cooling fan will  
continue to blow for about two minutes after turning the power off.)  
Before replacing the lamp, let it cool down completely, as the surface of  
the lamp remains extremely hot for at least 30 minutes after the power  
has been turned off.  
Do not leave the removed lamp near flammable materials or within the  
reach of children.  
Do not pour water onto the removed lamp, or put any object inside the  
lamp. Doing so may cause the lamp to burst.  
Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp  
receptacle of the LCD projection TV after removing the lamp. Doing so  
may cause fire or electrical shock. Also, be sure not to touch the  
receptacle, because it may cause a skin burn.  
Mount the new lamp securely, otherwise the screen may become dark,  
or it may cause a fire.  
Do not touch the glass with your fingers on the new lamp.  
The Used Lamp  
The used lamp contains Mercury, Dispose According to Local, State or  
Federal Laws.  
Do not touch the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the lamp  
receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

300-ohm twin lead cable  
It is highly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial  
cable to get optimum picture quality. 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 away as far  
as possible from the LCD projection TV.  
Do not use an indoor antenna because it is especially susceptible to  
radio noise.

Cable Box and Cable  
This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:  
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them  
(pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable  
box, and  
You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.  
With this setup you can:  
Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels using  
your cable box when the signal is scrambled.  
Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels using  
your LCD projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your LCD  
projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)  
Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your  
cable box, only one channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you  
can not use the Twin View feature for your cable box.)  
1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF  
jack.  
2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the LCD projection TV’s TO  
CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The LCD projection  
TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled  
signals coming straight into the LCD projection TV and scrambled  
signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an  
external splitter.

You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to  
your LCD projection TV.  
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled  
channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View  
feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using  
the hookup on page 26 instead.

Using the Features  
Hookups that affect your ability to use Twin View:  
- If you are viewing all channels through the cable box, the Twin  
View feature will not work. The cable box only unscrambles one  
signal at a time, so the right picture will be the same as the left  
picture.  
- You can watch a scrambled cable channel and another video  
source. Be sure your DVD player, VCR or satellite receiver are  
connected to one of the VIDEO IN 1-7 and AUX inputs on the rear  
of the LCD projection TV. Pictures from equipment connected to  
HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, DVI-HDTV IN 7, and AUX will only appear in  
the left picture, not in the right.  
Factors Affecting Twin View  
If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in  
both windows because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a  
time.  
If you use a cable box, you can view the cable box output in one window  
and view a different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the  
second window by using the TV/VIDEO button.  
Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7  
inputs display in the left window, but not the right.  
If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a  
DVD) side by side, the 4:3 source appears larger.  
Twin View does not display channels that are blocked by parental  
settings (see page 78).

Twin View  
Problem  
Possible Remedies  
I cannot get Twin View to work If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on page 28),  
you cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable box can

to the TV’s A/V jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by  
pressing TV/VIDEO while in Twin View.  
Sources connected to the AUX, HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, DVI-HDTV IN 7 inputs  
display in the left Twin View window, but not the right.  
There is no Twin View window, Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a signal  
or it is just static  
airing.  
You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try cycling  
through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO.  
Twin View cannot display  
anything but TV channels  
Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO. Check that the  
Video Label option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup Menu on page 83.)  
Twin View displays the same  
program in both windows  
Both Twin View windows might be set to the same channel. Try changing  
channels in either window.

Video  
Problem  
Possible Remedies  
No picture (screen not lit), no  
sound  
If your LCD projection TV does not turn on, and a red light keeps flashing, your  
LCD projection TV may need service. Call your local Sony Service Center.  
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.  
Press POWER/STANDBY on the front of the LCD projection TV.  
Check to see if the TV/VIDEO setting is correct: when watching TV, set to TV,  
and when watching connected equipment, set to VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.  
The Parental Control feature is activated (See “Using the Parent Menu” on  
If your LCD projection TVs power is on, and LAMP (red) indication is  
flashing, the lamp for the light source burns out. Replace it with new Sony  
XL-2100U replacement lamp (see page 13).  
Try another channel; it could be station trouble.

Problem  
Possible Remedies  
Dark, poor or no picture  
(screen lit), good sound  
Adjust the Picture option in the Video Menu (see page 70).  
Adjust the Brightness option in the Video Menu (see page 70).  
Check the antenna/cable connections.  
It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable  
to get optimum picture quality. 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 away as far as possible from the LCD projection TV.  
Do not use an indoor antenna because it is especially susceptible to radio noise  
No color  
Adjust the Color option in the Video Menu (see page 70).  
Only snow and noise appear on Check the antenna/cable connections.  
the screen  
Check the Cable setting in the Channel menu (see “Cable” on page 76).  
Make sure the channel is broadcasting programs.  
Press ANT to change the input mode (see page 45).  
Dotted lines or stripes  
Double images  
Adjust the antenna.  
Move the LCD projection TV away from noise sources such as cars, neon signs,  
or hair-dryers.  
Use a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable (when the problem is caused  
by reflections from nearby mountains or tall buildings).  
Set the Image Shift to an appropriate value. The default setting is Auto. If doubled  
images appear with Auto, select the best value from 1 to 4 (see page 85).  
“Black box” on screen  
You have selected a text option in the Setup Menu and no text is available. (see  
page 82) to reset Setup selections.) To turn off this feature, set the Caption Vision  
option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of  
Text 1-4.  
Black bands appear at the top  
and bottom of the screen  
Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9  
(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your LCD projection TV will  
show these 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 Palette menu (see page 71) to optimize  
the picture while viewing these sources.  
Some video sources do not  
appear when you press TV/  
VIDEO  
Ensure that Video Label is not set to “Skip(see “Video Label” on page  
83).

Audio noise  
Communication problems may occur if the infrared communication equipment  
(e.g., infrared cordless headphones) is used near the TV. Please use headphones  
other than infrared cordless headphones. Also, if you use the infrared  
communication equipment other than infrared cordless headphones, move the  
infrared transceiver away from the TV until the noise is eliminated, or move the  
transmitter and receiver of the infrared communication equipment closer together.  
Cannot gain enough volume  
when using a cable box  
Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable box’s remote control. Then  
press FUNCTION TV button and adjust the TV’s volume.  
Sound seems weak or  
insufficient  
The TV’s audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to  
Stereo. In the Audio Menu (see page 72), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If  
already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce background noise  
during weak stereo broadcasts).  
Cannot raise the volume on  
external speakers  
If the Speaker option is set to Off and the Audio Out option is set to Fixed (in  
order to output the sound to your audio system) use your audio receiver to adjust  
the sound (see page 73). Or, to use the TV remote control, set the Audio Out  
option to Variable.  
To turn on the TV speakers, set the Speaker option to On (see page 73).
