Precautions
Viewing the TV
• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor
light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
LCD Screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,
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 screen and is not a
malfunction.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on
top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD
screen may be damaged.
• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in
the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the
temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in
use. This is not a malfunction.
• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal
and mercury. The fluorescent tubes used in this TV set
also contain mercury. Follow your local ordinances and
regulations for disposal.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of
the TV set
Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the TV set
from AC power outlet before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently
with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the screen surface and
cabinet material.
• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so
as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from
its table stand.
Optional Equipment
Keep optional components or any equipment emitting
electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise
picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.

Troubleshooting
Check whether the 1 (standby) indicator is
flashing in red.
When it is flashing
The self-diagnosis function is activated.
1 Count how many 1 (standby) indicator
flashes between each two second break.
For example, the indicator flashes three times, then
there is a two second break, followed by another
three flashes, etc.
2
Press 1 on the top edge of the TV to turn it
off, disconnect the AC power cord, and
inform your dealer or Sony service centre of
how the indicator flashes (number of
flashes).
When it is not flashing
1 Check the items listed below.
2 If the problem still persists, have your TV
serviced by qualified service personnel.
Picture
No picture (screen is dark) and no sound
• Check the antenna/cable connection.
• Connect the TV to the AC power outlet, and press 1 on
the top edge of the TV.
• If the 1 (standby) indicator lights up in red, press "/1.
Double images or ghosting
• Check the antenna/cable connection.
• Check the antenna location and direction.
Only snow and noise appear on the screen
• Check if the antenna is broken or bent.
• Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable
life (three to five years in normal use, one to two years at
the seaside).
Distorted picture (dotted lines or stripes)
• Keep the TV away from electrical noise sources such as
cars, motorcycles, hair-dryers or optional equipment.
• When installing optional equipment, leave some space
between the optional equipment and the TV.
• Check the antenna/cable connection.
• Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting
cables.
• Broadcast signals are too strong. Turn off or disconnect
the booster if it is in use.
Good picture, but noisy sound
• The TV system setting is inappropriate.
• If the sound of all the channels are noisy, perform “Auto
Tuning” in the “Channel Set-up” menu to preset the
channel again (page 29).
• If the sound of some channels is noisy, select the channel,
then perform “Manual Programme Preset” in the
“Channel Set-up” menu, and select the appropriate TV
system (“TV System”) (page 30).
Some tiny black points and/or bright points appear
on the screen
• The picture of a display unit is composed of pixels. Tiny
black points and/or bright points (pixels) on the screen do
not indicate a malfunction.
No colour on programmes
• Select “Reset” in the “Picture” menu to return to the
factory settings (page 19).
No colour or irregular colour when viewing a
signal from the Y, PB/CB, PR/CR jacks of
/
1
or 2

/
1 or 2.
• Make sure that the Y, PB/CB, PR/CR jacks of
/
1 or
2 are firmly seated in their respective jacks.
Picture flashes initially when changing to HDMI
mode or switching on the TV with HDMI mode
• This is probably caused by the authentication process
between HDMI equipment and the TV. It does not
indicate a malfunction.
Sound
No sound, but good picture
• Press 2 +/– or % (Mute).
• Check if the “Speaker” is set to “TV Speaker” from the
“AV Set-up” menu in “Set-up” menu (page 25).
Stereo broadcast sound switches on and off, or is
distorted; the sound switches between stereo and
monaural frequently
• The antenna connection is loose or the antenna cable is
damaged. Check the cable and connection on the TV,
VCR, and on the wall (page 4).
• Adjust the antenna direction for the minimum
interference. Contact a Sony dealer for advice.
• Signal transmission is low. Try using a booster.
Otherwise, use the fine tuning (“AFT”) function
(page 30).
Additional Information

The wide screen mode changes spontaneously
when “Auto Wide” is “On”
• During a transition between two programmes, the TV
detects the optimum wide screen mode. During this
period, an irregular wide screen mode may appear.
• The wide mode is switched automatically according to the
revised signal with a Wide ID signal.
• The “Auto Wide” feature stops working temporarily when
you press
, and resumes after a while. To fix in the

Cannot play shooting games
• Some shooting games which involve pointing a light beam
at the TV screen with an electronic gun or rifle cannot be
used with your TV. For details, see the instruction manual
supplied with the video game software.
The TV cabinet creaks
• Changes in room temperature sometimes make the TV
cabinet expand or contract, causing a noise. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
Static discharge is felt when touching the TV
cabinet
• This is the same static discharge that is felt when touching
metal door handles or car doors especially when the air is
dry, for example in winter. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
Weak signal (signal level indicator displayed in
red)
• Check the antenna/cable connection.
• Set the “Signal Booster” to “Auto” (page 30) or try using
an external booster.
