Owner’s Record
The model and serial numbers are provided on the front of this instruction manual and at the rear of the TV. Refer to them whenever you call upon your Sony dealer regarding this product.
Important Safeguards
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.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.
Use
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 local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
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
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.
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.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.
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.
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 occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.
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.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.
Installation
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
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.
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 Sony for the specific model of TV. No part of the TV set should overhang any edge of the TV cart or stand; any overhanging edge is a safety hazard. 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.
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.
❑
Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.
❑
❑
Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
❑
Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
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.
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.
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.
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna
Grounding.
Antenna lead-in wire
Ground clamp
Antenna discharge unit
(NEC Section 810-20)
Electrical wire equipment
NEC: National Electrical Code
Ground clamps

Power service grounding electrode system (NEC Art 250 Part H)
Lightning
For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.
This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
❑
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
❑
If liquid has been spilled into the set.
❑
If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
❑
If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
❑
If the set does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation.
❑
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
Safety Check
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.

Use the TV remote control to change channels using your cable box when the signal is scrambled.
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your 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 signal is sent to the TV, so you can not use the Twin View feature.)
Use the Twin View feature normally with the CATV input.
❑ Use the Twin View feature partially with the cable box. (When you switch the TV input to AUX - to use the cable box - the unscrambled picture from the cable box will display. You can display the signal from both AUX and VHF/UHF inputs in the left Twin View picture, but you can display only the signal from the VHF/UHF input in the right Twin View picture.

Installing the TV
To set up your TV to use both a Cable Box and a direct-connect CATV cable:
1
Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
2
Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the 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 TV.
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin
View feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not,
consider using the hookup on page 12 instead.

Tips
❑ If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by one until you come to the correct code for your equipment.
❑
❑
If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously entered at that setting is erased.
In some cases, you may not be able to operate your equipment with the Sony remote control. In such cases, use the equipment’s own remote control unit.
