❑

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.

It is strongly 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

If, after reading these operating instructions, you have additional questions related to the use of your

Sony television, please call our Customer Information Services Center at 1-800-222-SONY (7669) (U.S. residents only) or (416) 499-SONY (7669) (Canadian residents only).

Problem

No picture

(screen not lit), no sound

Remote control does not operate

Dark, poor or no picture (screen lit), good sound

Possible Remedies

❏

Make sure the LCD projection TV’s power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet.

❏

Push the power button on the front 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 or 6 .

❏

Try another channel. It could be station trouble.

❏

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

69).

❏

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.

❏

Batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries.

❏

Press

setting in the Video menu (see page 58).

❏

Check antenna/cable connections.

It is strongly 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 (see page 25).

Good picture, no sound

Both may be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in either the main window picture as in the main picture picture or the window picture.

❏

You may be running all your channels through a cable box. The cable box will only unscramble one signal at a time, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If possible, run a direct cable to your LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF input (this will only work if your cable system provides an unscrambled signal.)

You cannot get anything but TV

❏

Be sure the video label has not been set to skip your video inputs. See the Setup channels in your second picture
