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.
Power Sources
Attachments
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.
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Grounding or Polarization
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid

of the set.
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
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 should still fail 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.
Do not place any objects, especially heavy objects,
on top of the set. The object may fall from the set,
causing injury.
Cleaning
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.
Installation
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is
heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can result from
trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady
handling. Install the set on a stable, level surface.
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.
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 to be
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.
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy
storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding the cable or
cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV and wait for the
weather to improve.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, 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 the manufacturer for the
specific model of TV. Any mounting of the
product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
Disconnect all cables and cords from the set before attempting to
move the set.
Do not allow children or pets to climb up onto, or push against, the
set. The set may fall, causing serious injury.

Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega
Overview
This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is
shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Wega TV.
Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega
The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by
outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-tocorner detail.
You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost
immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare
from the flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves
picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens.
The FD Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only at the
screen center, but also at the corners — so you can enjoy a bright,
clear picture from any location in a room.
Package Contents
Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a
remote control and two AA (R6) batteries. These items are all you
need to set up and use the TV.
Features
Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
❑
DRC® (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction: Unlike
conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature
replaces the signal’s NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent,
while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This
results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD,
satellite, and digital camcorders. The Video Menu allows you to
select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion™ output.
❑
Scrolling Index: Lets you select programs from a series of
preview windows that scroll along the right side of the screen.
7
Twin View™: Using the Multi-Image Driver (MIDX), Twin View
allows you to watch two programs side by side, with the ability
to zoom in one picture. You can watch pictures from two
different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i) simultaneously.
(Only the left Twin View window can display 1080i, 720p, and
480p sources.)
❑
Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from eight
of your favorite channels.
❑
ClearEdge VM™ Velocity Modulation: Sharpens picture
definition by enhancing vertical lines.
❑
Steady Sound®: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent
output between programs and commercials.
❑
Memory Stick® Picture Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV
screen digital images that are stored on Memory Stick media.
❑
Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD
(480p, 480i), and digital set-top box (HD1080i, 720p) connections.
❑
CineMotion™: Reverse 3-2 pulldown processing provides
optimal picture quality for film-based sources (media originally
shot in 24 frames-per-second format).
❑
HD Detailer™: Wideband video amplifier has a high bandwidth
frequency rating, which allows it to send more video information
to the screen, resulting in finer picture quality, especially for HD
sources.
❑
16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that
maximizes picture resolution when playing “anamorphic” or
“enhanced for widescreen” sources, including many DVDs.
❑
Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block
unsuitable programming from younger viewers.
❑
Digital Visual Interface (DVI): Can accommodate a copyprotected digital connection (HDCP*) to other devices (such as
digital set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. The DVIHDTV input terminal is compliant with the EIA-861 standard
and is not intended for use with personal computers.
z 16:9 is also referred to as
widescreen format.

However, you can use only some of the Twin View features for channels coming through
the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. For example, when you switch the TV’s input to
AUX — to select the cable box input — the picture displays only in the left window. If
you turn on Twin View, you can watch cable channels coming into the VHF/UHF jack in

About Memory
Stick
SETUP
SETUP
Using the Memory Stick Picture Viewer
✍ You cannot write to Memory Stick media using the TV.
Memory Stick technology allows you to view on your TV screen
digital (JPEG) images that are stored on Memory Stick media. You
can choose from an index of the images stored on the Memory Stick,
or you can run a slideshow of those images. You can also customize
the features of the slideshow by selecting the length of time that each
image is displayed, toggling the display of file information, and
rotating each image.
SETUP
Features
Memory Stick (sold separately) is a new, compact, portable, and
versatile Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data capacity
that exceeds that of a floppy disk. Memory Stick is specially designed
for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick
compatible products such as digital cameras and digital video
cameras. Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be used for
external data storage.
For more information about the using Memory Stick media, see
“Notes on Using Memory Stick Media” on page 79.
Supported Image
Types
This TV’s Memory Stick viewer can display only still images that
have been recorded on Memory Stick media by Sony brand digital
still and video cameras.
Recorded images must also meet the following specifications:
❑
Compression format: JPEG
❑
File name format: DCF compliant
✍ JPEG stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group,” which is the
SETUP
organization that implemented this format. DCF stands for “Design Rules
for Camera File Systems,” which are specifications established by the Japan
Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA).
✍ The TV’s Memory Stick viewer is compatible with Memory Sticks up to and
SETUP
including 128MB. It is not compatible with Memory Sticks that exceed
128MB.
52
32_36HS.book Page 53 Friday, February 7, 2003 11:15 AM
About DCF File Names
z To ensure that the
existing/imported JPEG files are
viewable on your TV, be sure to
store and maintain them in the
DCF compliant file structure
shown at right, with the JPEG
files inside the 100MSDCF
directory, and this directory
inside the DCIM main folder.
Main Folder
SETUP
Most Sony brand digital still and video cameras automatically record
still images using DCF compliant directory and file names, as shown
in the following example:
Directory Name
JPEG File Names
SETUP
Directory Name
JPEG File Names
DCF Compliant File Structure Example
If you are using a Sony Cyber-shot camera (except models DSC-D700
and DSC-D770) or a Sony digital camcorder with Digital Still
capability (except models DCR-TRV-900 and DSR-PD100A), the
pictures on your Memory Stick are ready to be viewed on your TV.
SETUP
Cyber-shot Cameras or Sony Brand Digital Camcorders
Mavica Cameras
Features
If you are using a Sony Mavica camera, you can view those pictures
by first using a PC to transfer the image files to a Memory Stick, and
then setting up the files in a DCF compliant file structure as shown
above. (Thumbnails, however, will not be available because Mavica
does not create them. This also means that the Index and Rotate
Picture functions will not work.)
✍ Important: If the source of images is not a Sony digital camera, or the
SETUP
directory/filenames are modified with a computer using non-DCF compliant
software, the images may not be viewable on your TV. If you wish to view a
DCF compliant image imported to your Memory Stick, be sure to use the
same file structure used by Sony cameras (shown above).

analog signal
aspect ratio
A signaling method that uses continuous changes in the amplitude or frequency of an
electronic transmission to convey information.
Refers to the ratio between the width and height of the screen. This TV has a 4:3 aspect ratio,
as opposed to a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio.
SETUP
4:3 aspect ratio
component video
SETUP
composite video
degauss
16:9 aspect ratio
Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals and one
brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color accuracy than
composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate portions.
Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color shade
(chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.
A process that demagnetizes the metal components in the TV monitor, which eliminates image
distortion that can result from magnetic charges acquired by the TV’s components. Your TV
degausses automatically when it is turned on.
A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV provides
clearer resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.
National Television System
Committee (NTSC)
A unit of the Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, that establishes
television standards in the United States, such as NTSC Color, the standard used in this TV.
RF
Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum that is used to transmit TV and radio
signals.

S VIDEO
S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color
(chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution than
composite video, which carries the signals together.
VHF/UHF
VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 30 to 300 megahertz.
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 300 to 3,000
megahertz.
480i
Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first
transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines.
480p
Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits
each line from top to bottom.
720p
Provides 720 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits
each line from top to bottom.
1080i
Provides 1080 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first
transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines. 1080i is one of the
formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).

If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on
page 20), you cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable
box can unscramble only one channel at a time. But if you need the cable
box to unscramble only some (usually premium) channels, you can use
Twin View for unscrambled channels if you connect both a cable and cable
box, as shown on page 18.
You can use Twin View to view a signal from a different source that is
connected to the TV's A/V jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the
second window by pressing the TV/VIDEO button while in Twin View.
Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs
display in the left Twin View window, but not the right.
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 the TV/VIDEO button.
If you connected equipment to the TV’s AUX jack, it will display in the left
Twin View window, but not the right.
Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing the TV/VIDEO button.
Check that the Video Label option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup Menu on
page 75.)
Both Twin View windows might be set to the same channel. Try changing
channels in either window.

In the password screen (see page 70), enter the following master password:
4357. The master password clears your previous password; it cannot be
used to temporarily unblock channels.
This is a normal sound that results from the TV automatically degaussing
each time it is turned on.
The STAND BY LED (see page 11) blinks when the TV is turned on, then
shuts off when the picture is displayed. If the LED blinks continuously, this
may indicate the TV needs service.

When the timer is set, this LED will remain lit even when the TV is turned
off.
Be sure that you have not connected the digital cable box to the TV’s TO
CONVERTER jack. This jack is not compatible with digital cable boxes.
If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box using a splitter, as
described on pages 24-25, you must use a special bi-directional splitter that
is designed to work with your digital cable box. Contact your cable
provider for details.

This warranty is applicable to U.S. residents only. If you are a Canadian resident, see the separately enclosed warranty for
your product.
Sony Electronics Inc. (“Sony”) warrants this Product (including any accessories) against defects in material or
workmanship, subject to any conditions set forth as follows:
1. LABOR: For a period of 90 days from the date of purchase, if this Product is determined to be defective, Sony will

removal and installation is available from Sony authorized service facilities or a Sony Service Center at your
expense.
3. ACCESSORIES: Parts and labor for all accessories are for one (1) year.
In-home diagnostic warranty service is provided during the initial 90 day period for 19” (measured diagonally), or larger

or packaging affording an equal degree or protection, to any authorized Sony service facility.
This warranty does not cover customer instruction, installation, set up adjustments or signal reception problems.
This warranty does not cover cosmetic damage or damage due to acts of God, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence,
commercial use, or modification of, or to any part of the Product, including the antenna. This warranty does not cover
damage due to improper operation or maintenance, connection to improper voltage supply, or attempted repair by anyone
other than facility authorized by Sony to service the Product. This warranty does not cover Products sold AS IS or WITH

Proof of purchase in the form of a bill of sale or receipted invoice which is evidence that the unit is within the Warranty
period must be presented to obtain warranty service.
This warranty is invalid if the factory applied serial number has been altered or removed from the Product.
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE

OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY ON THIS PRODUCT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
