Getting Started

Screen

Projection Lamp

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 coloc 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.

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.

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

"Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp." to let you know that the lamp has reached its expected lifespan.

Note the following:

[] After turning on your TV. it may take a while the picture appears.

(l minuteorless) before

[] 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

Sotup settings (see page 62).

The speakers on the KDS-R70XBR2 can be detached if required.

If you use a multi-channel surround speaker system and there is insufficient space to install the display unit, we recommend using the speakers detached.

1

Remove the three screws that are located on the rear of the speaker, and pull the speaker straight out to detach it from the panel.

When removing the screws, use a coin to turn them counterclockwise.

2

Attach the side cover that came in the box.

Press the cover at the top, middle, and bottom to make sure that it is attached securely (see illustration).

Facing the TV, make sure that the side covers marked '_R'!(right) and .1"

(left) are attached to the corresponding sides of the TV.

Getting Started

Connecting

the TV

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect ratio (see "Changing the Wide Screen Mode" on page 31 ). It is strongly recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. 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 as far away from the TV as possible.

Do not use an indoor antenna, which is especially susceptible to radio noise.

You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page

17). For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the separate Quick

Setup Guide.

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

J,_ CAUTION: When inserting the CableCARD device, the top side of the card should face front. Inserting the CableCARD incorrect!y may result in permanent damage to the card and the -IV.

2 Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place.

20

"_" You can also access information about your

CableCARD device in the Channel settings

(see page 56).


3

Tile CableCARD device setup screen is automatically displayed.

This screen includes information your cable TV company will request before they can activate your service.

4

Follow tile displayed instructions: Phone your cable TV colnpany.

A representative will guide you through the activation process.

5

After your CableCARD device is activated, your cable TV company will download tile 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.

_.-

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 nmst leave the TV on the '%" 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.

[21 If. after trying both feeds, the Guide still does not have data, please contact Sony.
