Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords.
❑
To avoid TV interference, make sure to use an undamaged antenna cable.
❑
The current Wide Mode setting is automatically replaced with the 4:3 Default setting when you change the channel or video input, if 4:3 Default in the Screen settings is set to anything but Off. If you want to lock in the Wide Mode selected
with the WIDE button, set 4:3 Default to Off in the Screen settings (page 27).
❑
Check the Auto Wide option in the Screen settings (page 27).
❑
You have selected a text option in the Setup setting and no text is available. (See
pages 33 and 34 to reset Setup selections.) To turn off this feature, set the
Closed Captions (CC) option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4.
❑
Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9
(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your 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).
❑
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.
❑
Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.
❑
Point the remote control at the remote control sensor of the TV.
❑
Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.
❑
Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
❑
Certain cable companies have limitations on the broadcast of digital cable channels. Check with your cable company for more information.
❑
The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Show/Hide Channels
❑
Select the Parental Lock settings on the settings screen, then enter the following master password: 4357. The master password clears your previous password and
allows you to enter a new password (page 31).
❑
Turn on the TV. While holding down the
V
button on the remote control, press the POWER button on the TV. (The TV will turn itself off, then back on again.)
Release the
V
button.
WARNING: The Reset will clear all of your customized settings including
Parental Lock setting.

Preparation for Wall Mounting
This TV can be installed on a wall by using a Wall-Mount Bracket (sold separately). Before mounting the TV on a wall, the Table-Top Stand must be removed from the TV.
Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason other than to wallmount the TV.
Sony Wall-Mount
Bracket Model
SU-WL500
Follow the simple steps below to remove the Table-Top Stand:
1
Disconnect all the cables from the TV.
2
Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the TV.
3
Adjust the angle of the Mounting Hook.
4
Start removing the screws behind the TV (See illustration below). Do not remove any other screws from the TV.
5
When screws are removed, lift the TV off the stand. Make sure that you carry out this task with at least two people. Do not attempt to lift the TV by yourself.
For bracket installation, refer to the instruction guide provided by the Wall-
Mount Bracket model for your TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight. For product protection and safety reasons,
Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by Sony dealers or licensed contractors.
Table-Top
Stand
Be sure to store the removed screws and Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you are ready to reattach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children.
