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 defect.

Installation

If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen, part of the screen may appear 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. Sit at least approx. 5.9 ft. (1.8 m) for KF-

42WE620 or approx. 6.6 ft. (2.0 m) for KF-

50WE620 away from your LCD projection TV, and within 60° of the vertical and 130° of the horizontal viewing area.

If you sit too close to the TV, you may experience eye strain. For the best picture quality, install your

LCD projection TV according to “Recommended

Viewing Area” on page 24.

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

Avoid installing the LCD projection TV close to high temperature sources such as a heater.

Projection lamp

Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:

• the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,

• screen images become dark,

• no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of

broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit. (See

“Replacing the Lamp” on page 15.)

When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.

Cooling fan

This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the placement of your LCD projection TV. The noise may be more noticeable during the night or when the background noise level is low.

Remote control detection

The remote control sensor is in the middle of the TV on the bottom. For the best results, aim the remote control at this location.

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.

You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.

With this setup you can:

Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels on your cable box when the signal is scrambled.

Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels on 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 cannot use the Twin View feature from your cable box.)

1

Connect a coaxial cable from your cable service 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.

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, so the right picture will be the same as the left picture.

If you use a cable box and other video equipment connected, 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 69).

The equipment must have infrared (IR) remote capability in order to be used with the remote control.

From the “Manufacturer’s Codes” listed on page 78, select the three-digit

code number for the manufacture’s code of your equipment. If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by one until you come to the correct code for your equipment. Use the code number to complete the following procedure.

1

Press the DVD/VCR (FUNCTION) and RESET buttons simultaneously, or press the SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION) and RESET buttons simultaneously. The DVD/VCR and SAT/CABLE buttons flash.

2

Press the function button you want to program.

To program a cable box or a satellite receiver

Press SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION).

To program video equipment

Press DVD/VCR (FUNCTION).

3

Enter the three-digit manufacture’s code number using the 0 - 9 buttons.

4

Press ENT (enter).

If no code number is input within 10 seconds, or an invalid or incorrect code number is input, the remote control automatically goes back to the previous setting.

5

To check if the code number works, aim the TV’s remote control at the equipment and press DVD/VCR and/or SAT/CABLE (POWER) that corresponds with that equipment. If it responds, the programming is completed. If not, try using the other codes listed for that manufacturer.

In some cases, you may not be able to operate your equipment with the supplied remote control. In such cases, use the equipment’s own remote control unit.

Troubleshooting

Twin View

Problem Possible Remedies

I cannot get Twin View to work

If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on page 32),

you cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable box can unscramble only one channel at a time.

You can use Twin View to view a signal from a different source that is connected to the LCD projection TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by pressing TV/VIDEO while in Twin View.

Sources connected to the AUX, HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, DVI-HDTV IN 7 inputs will display only in the left Twin View window.

There is no Twin View window, or it is just static

Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a signal airing.

You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO.

Twin View cannot display anything but TV channels

Twin View displays the same program in both windows

Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO. Check that the

Video Label option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup Menu on page 74.)

Both Twin View windows might be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in either window.

Remote Control

Problem

Remote control does not operate

Cannot change channels with the remote control

Remote control does not operate non-Sony video equipment

Possible Remedies

The batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries.

Check the orientation of the batteries. (Batteries are installed correctly.)

Press FUNCTION (DVD/VCR, SAT/CABLE or TV) to select the equipment that you want to operate.

Press the TV button first for TV operation.

Make sure this unit’s power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet.

Locate the unit at least 3-4 feet away from fluorescent lights.

If you are using the TV to change channels, first press the TV FUNCTION button.

If you are using another device to change channels, be sure you have not inadvertently switched your TV from the channel 3 or 4 setting. Use the Channel

Fix option to “fix” the channel based on the hookup you used (see page 67).

If you are using another device to change channels, be sure to press FUNCTION

(DVD/VCR, SAT/CABLE or TV) for that device.

If you replaced the batteries to the remote recently, the code numbers for the video equipment may need to be reset.

There may be more than one code for the equipment that you are attempting to operate.

There is a possibility that some non-Sony equipment cannot be operated by your

Sony TV remote.You may need to use the equipment’s original remote control.

Video

Problem

No picture (screen not lit), no sound

Possible Remedies

If your LCD projection TV does not turn on, and a red light keeps flashing, your

LCD projection TV may need service. Call your local Sony Service Center.

Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

Press POWER/STANDBY on the front panel of the LCD projection TV.

Check to see if the TV/VIDEO setting is correct: when watching TV, set to TV, and when watching connected equipment, set to VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.

The Parental Control feature is activated (see “Using the Parent Menu” on page 69).

If your LCD projection TV’s power is on, and the LAMP (red) indication is flashing, the lamp for the light source has burnt out. Replace it with new Sony

XL-2100U or XL-2100 replacement lamp (see page 15).

Try another channel; it could be station trouble.

Possible Remedies

Adjust the Picture option in the Video menu (see page 61).

Adjust the Brightness option in the Video menu (see page 61).

Check the antenna/cable connections.

For optimum picture quality, a 75-ohm coaxial antenna connection is highly recommended. Radio waves and other interference can easily affect a 300-ohm twin lead cable, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep as far away as possible from the LCD projection TV.

Do not use an indoor antenna; they are especially susceptible to radio noise (see page 29).

Adjust the Color option in the Video menu (see page 61).

No color/dark picture/color is not correct

Only snow and noise appear on the screen

Dotted lines or stripes

Double images

“Black box” on screen

Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen

Check the antenna/cable connections.

Check the Cable setting in the Channel menu (see “Cable” on page 67).

Make sure the channel is broadcasting programs.

Press ANT to change the input mode (see page 51).

Adjust the antenna.

Move the LCD projection TV away from noise sources such as cars, neon signs, or hair-dryers.

Use a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable (when the problem is caused by reflections from nearby mountains or tall buildings).

Set the Image Shift to an appropriate value. The default setting is Auto. If doubled

images appear with Auto, select the best value from 1 to 4 (see page 76).

You have selected a text option in the Setup menu and no text is available. See

page 73 to reset Setup selections. To turn off this feature, set the Caption Vision

option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of

Text 1-4.

Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9

(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your LCD projection TV will

Certain programs on DVD or other digital sources display a loss of detail, especially during fast-motion or dark scenes

Some video sources do not appear when I press TV/

VIDEO

❏ 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. Adjust the reality/clarity in the Video menu DRC Palette (see page 62)

to optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

Ensure that Video Label is not set to “Skip” (see “Video Lable” on page 74).

Also, if you use infrared communication equipment other than infrared cordless headphones, move the infrared transceiver away from the TV until the noise is eliminated, or move the transmitter and receiver of the infrared communication equipment closer together.

Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable box’s remote control. Then press TV FUNCTION button and adjust the TV’s volume.

The TV’s audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to

Stereo. In the Audio menu (see page 63), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If

already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce background noise during weak stereo broadcasts).

If the Speaker option is set to Off and the Audio Out option is set to Fixed (in order to output the sound to your audio system) use your audio receiver to adjust

the sound (see page 63). Or, to use the TV remote control, set the Audio Out

option to Variable.

To turn on the TV speakers, set the Speaker option to On (see page 64).
