Safety Information

This set is to operate on a 220-240V AC supply only. Take care not to connect too many appliances to the same power socket as this could result in fire or electric shock.

For environmental and safety reasons, it is recommended that the TV set is not left in standby mode when not in use. Disconnect from the mains.

Never push objects of any kind into the set as this could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the set. If any liquid or solid object does fall into the cabinet, do not operate the TV. Have it checked immediately by qualified personnel.

Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of the TV. Refer to qualified service personnel only.

For your own safety, do not touch any part of the TV, power lead or aerial lead during lightning storms.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the

TV For ventilation, leave a space of at least

10cm all around the set.

Never place the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places. Do not install the

TV where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations.

To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or naked lights (eg candles) away from the TV.

Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, lightly dampened cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, or antistatic spray. As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.

Pull out the power lead by the plug. Do not pull on the power lead itself.

Take care not to place heavy objects on the power lead as this could result in damage.

We recommend you wind any excess lead around the holders provided on the rear of the TV.

Place the TV on a secure stable stand. Do not allow children to climb on to it. Do not place the TV on its side or face up.

Unplug the power lead before moving the

TV. Avoid uneven surfaces, quick steps or excessive force. If the set has been dropped or damaged, have it checked immediately by qualified service personnel.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the

TV with items such as curtains or newspapers etc.

Additional Safety Information

• After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the projection TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.

• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.

• Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for instance, when operating a video game or personal computer and viewing a programme in 16:9 mode, may damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the picture contrast level low.

• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.

• Screen Burn / Image Retention

An “image ghosting”, or “screen burn” may appear on the screen if the television is left operating with, either a still image, or a programme displaying a bright corner channel logo, for an extended period of time. The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Live” mode or has a hight contrast setting. This image cannot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of occurrence do not leave the television operating on such a picture, or programme for long periods of time. Repeated extended daily usage of the same image, or programme can also result in this occurrence which is not covered by the Sony warranty.

The standby indicator on the projection

TV flashes.

• Adjust the colour registration. For more details, please refer to “Adjusting Colour

Registration (Convergence)” section on page 10.

• Using the menu system, select the “Manual Programme Preset” menu and adjust

Fine Tuning (AFT) to obtain better picture reception.

• Using the menu system, select the “Noise Reduction” option in the “Picture

Adjustment” menu and select “Auto” to reduce the noise in the picture.

• Turn off any equipment connected to the Scart connector on the rear of the projection TV.

• Use the menu system to enter the “Language” menu (see page 14) and select the same language that NexTView is broadcast in.

• This is not a malfunction. After 5 minutes viewing the same teletext page and without any button being pressed, the projection TV automatically decreases the brightness level to avoid any damage to the picture tube. To reset the brightness level, press any button of the remote control.

• Check that the Media Selector on the remote control is set to the device you are using (VCR, TV or DVD).

• If the remote control does not operate the VCR or DVD even when the Media

Selector has been set correctly. Enter the necessary code set as explained in the

“Remote Control Configuration for VCR/DVD” chapter on page 23.

• Replace the batteries.

• Contact your nearest Sony service centre.

If you continue to experience problems, have your projection TV serviced by qualified personnel.

Never open the casing yourself.
