About the LCD Projection TV

Although the LCD projection TV is made with highprecision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the

LCD panel and is not a malfunction.

Installation

If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen, part of the screen appears white due to reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural property of the LCD Projection TV.

Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.

The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. If you view the TV close to you, you may suffer from eye fatigue.

For the best picture quality, install your LCD projection TV according to the operating instructions.

When installing your LCD Projection TV against a wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.

Projection lamp

Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. When the projection lamp wears out after using the LCD projection TV for a long period of time, the screen image becomes dark, or no image will appear on the display. If the lamp replacement indicator of the front panel blinks in red, replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied). In some cases, the lamp bursts inside the lamp unit noisily, but the lamp unit is securely designed so that the pieces of

broken glass remain inside the lamp unit. (See

“Replacing the Lamp” on page 13.)

Cooling fan

This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan to prevent the internal temperature from heating up.

You might hear the noise from the cooling fan, depending on the place you install the LCD projection TV.

Basic Connections (Connecting Cable TV or Antenna)

Connecting Directly to Cable or an

Antenna

The connection you choose depends on the cable found in your home. Newer homes are equipped with standard coaxial cable (see

B

); other homes may contain both (see

C

).

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

Connections

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 or Channel Index features 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.

Cable Box Only

Use this hookup if:

You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

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.

1

Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable box’s IN jack.

2

Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

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.

The active picture is highlighted in cyan.

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 75).

Tips

If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by one until you come to the correct code for your component.

If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously entered at that setting is erased.

In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your component with the Sony remote control. In this case, use the component’s own remote control unit.
