Avoid operating the projection TV at temperature
below 5°C (41°F).
CAUTION
How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention”
on your Projection TV
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos
displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to your
TV, resulting in retention of the image in the picture.
If the projection TV is transported directly from a
cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature
changes suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show
poor color. In this case, please wait a few hours to let
the moisture evaporate before turning on the
projection TV.
To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to
direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is
recommended to use spot lighting directed down from
the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the
screen with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install
the projection TV in a room where the floor and walls
are not of a reflective material.
Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing
image retention:
❑
View a variety of program sources or programming
material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the
program material viewed reduces the possibility that a
single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes in
your TV.
®
As an ENERGY STAR Partner,
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the
picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness”
levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher
“Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.
Sony Corporation has determined
that this product meets the
®
ENERGY STAR guidelines for
energy efficiency.
Please refer to your instruction manual for instructions on
adjusting picture settings.

Overloading
Important Safeguards
Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords or convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since this can
result in fire or electric shock.
For your protection, please read these instructions
completely, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions
and instructions placed on the set or described in the
operating instructions or service manual.
Always turn the set off when it is not
being used. When the set is left
unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet as a precaution against the
possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a
fire hazard.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use
and servicing of the set.
Use
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV
set is continuous or frequent while the TV
is operating, unplug the TV and consult
your dealer or service technician. It is
normal for some TV sets to make
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on
the serial/model plate. If you are not sure
of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or
occasional snapping or popping sounds,
particularly when being turned on or off.
local power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the
set through the cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the set.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a
three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
for grounding). Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a polarized AC power cord
plug
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet of the projection TV
with a dry soft 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.
Alternate Warning for the set with a three-
wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV
for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the
inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.

Installation
Power-Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll
over the power cord, and do not place the
set where the power cord is subject to
wear or abuse.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets
near water — for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact
with such power lines or circuits.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable
cart, stand, table or shelf. The set
may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or an adult and serious damage
to the set. Use only a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer
for the specific model of projection
TV. An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in
Canada provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or
bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never be
blocked or covered.
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for
Antenna Grounding.
❑
Never cover the slots and openings
with a cloth or other materials.
❑
Never block the slots and openings by
placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or
other similar surface.

Upon completion of any service or repairs
to the set, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks (as specified
by the manufacturer) to determine that the
set is in safe operating condition, and to so
certify. When the set reaches the end of its
useful life, improper disposal could result
in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified
service technician to dispose of the set.

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 projection TV remote control to change channels using your
cable box when the signal is scrambled.
❑
Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your 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 projection TV, so you can not
use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)
1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV’s TO CONVERTER
jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The projection TV’s internal converter
allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into
the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable
box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
3 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the
projection TV’s AUX jack.
