Antennas

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Cleaning

s Clean the rear cover area of the TV regularly. Dust in the rear cover

area may cause a problem with the cooling system of the TV set.

s Clean the cabinet of the TV with a dry soft

cloth. To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If the picture becomes dark after using the TV for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

s Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. Cleaning this

unit with a plugged AC power cord may result in electric shock.

On Contamination on the Screen Surface

The screen surface has a special coating to reduce reflections. To prevent screen damage, clean the screen as follows:

s Clean the screen with a soft cloth. s To remove hard contamination, use a cloth moistened with a

solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the TV. It should only be sprayed to moisten the cleaning cloth.

s Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, acid cleaner,

scouring powder, chemical cloth, or solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, as these may scratch the screen's coating.

Service

Damage Requiring Service

Do not attempt to service the set by yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 66.

Carry the TV in the Specified Manner

If you carry the TV in a manner other than the specified manner and without the specified number of persons, it may drop and a serious injury may be caused. Be sure to follow the instructions mentioned below.

s Carry the TV with the specified number of persons (see page 12). s Hold the TV tightly when carrying it. s Before carrying the TV, disconnect any accessories or cables.

About the TV

Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a defect.

Installation

s 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 TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.

s The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For

the best picture quality, install your TV according to “Recommended Viewing Area” on page 13.

s When installing your TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10

cm) away from the wall.

Projection Lamp

s Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to

replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:

• the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen,

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

• screen images become dark,

• no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

s In rare instances, the b ulb 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 66.)

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

Disposal of Used Batteries

To preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to your local laws or regulations.

Enjoying Your TV

To enjoy your TV for years to come and maintain its original picture quality, you should perform periodic maintenance.

Notes on the TV To enjoy clear picture

Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly onto the

❑

screen.

❑ The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with

sharp or abrasive objects (see “On Contamination on the Screen Surface” on page 5).

When not using the TV for a long period of time

Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using

❑

the TV for more than a week.

When turning off the power

The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow

❑

several minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the breaker off.

On moisture condensation

If your TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed

❑

in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the picture may blur or show poor color. This is caused by moisture condensation on the lenses inside. Wait a few hours to let the moisture evaporate before turning on the TV. When the condensation has evaporated, the picture will return to normal.

Screen To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating.

Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface. Special care is required.

Cleaning the Screen Surface

Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture quality. To dust off the screen use a soft cloth. Be sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 5 for stubborn stains and dirt.

Temporary Image Retention

When high contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image retention on the screen. This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the image retention.

Connecting the TV

Overview

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect ratio (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page 41). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

Connecting the TV

Making Video and Audio Connections

About Using HDMI to DVI Adapter

If you are connecting equipment with DVI connector with this TV, you will need to use an adapter. You can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable or an HDMI adapter (not supplied). Both are available from your local electronics store. When you use the adapter, you will also need to use separate audio cables for sound as DVI connector is for video signals only.

Replacing the Lamp

The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and functionality, which affects the overall performance of your Television. How long the Lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending upon your usage and environmental conditions. To maintain the quality of your viewing experience, Sony recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) after approximately 8,000 hours of use (the TV will display a message reminding you to replace the lamp); (2) when the screen becomes dark or the color looks unusual; or (3) when the LAMP indicator on the front of the TV flashes.

WARNING

Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

❑

Use a Sony XL-2400 replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.

❑

Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.

❑

Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptable once the lamp has been removed.

❑

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

❑

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

❑

This television's lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. "The material contained in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp, so you should dispose of it in the same way.

How to Replace the Lamp

1 Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait several minutes, then unplug

the power cord. (The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after turning the power off.)

2 Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the power cord to allow the

lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.

3 Take the new lamp out of the box.

Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.

✍ Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp or

shorten its life.

✍

Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

Page 67

4 Remove the outside lamp cover. (Choose your model type A or B.)

Lamp door

5 Remove the lamp door.

Turn the knob counterclockwise to OPEN and pull out the cover.

6 Pull out the lamp.

Hook a finger through the loop of the lamp handle and pull the handle upwards. Then pull the lamp straight out.

Other Information

✍ The lamp is very hot immediately after use. Never touch the

glass portion of the lamp or the surrounding parts.

✍ After the used lamp has cooled, place it into the empty box

of the replacement lamp. Never put the used lamp into a plastic bag.

7 Put the new lamp into its place.

Mount the new lamp securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire or the screen to go dark.

✍ If the lamp is not securely reattached, the self-diagnostic

function may be triggered and the POWER indicator flashes three times (see page 11).

(Continued)

Page 68

8 Reattach the lamp door.

Turn the knob back to CLOSE and secure the cover.

9 Put the outside lamp cover back in its place.

10 Select the Lamp Replacement option (MENU > Settings > Setup

menu) and follow the on-screen procedure.

✍ Consult your Sony dealer for a Sony XL-2400 replacement

lamp.

✍ Take great care when replacing the lamp or plugging

in/unplugging the connecting cords. Rough handling may cause the TV to fall, damaging the TV, the TV stand and the floor.

The used lamp

Lamp in this product contains mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).

❑ Do not leave the used lamp near flammable materials or within the

reach of children.

❑ Do not pour water onto the used lamp or put any object inside the lamp.

Doing so may cause the lamp to burst.

until the TV's projection lamp cools down (approximately 5 minutes). If the remote control still does not work, make sure to dust the ventilation slots on the rear of the TV and the cooling fan to provide adequate ventilation around the TV.

❏ If you are using the TV to change channels, first press TV (FUNCTION) once,

and the TV indicator lights up.

❏ 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.

for that device. For example, if you are using your cable box to change channels, be sure to press SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION) once, and the SAT/CABLE indicator lights up.

❏ 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.

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

(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will 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 DRC Palette setting (see page 51) to optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

Sound

Problem Possible Remedies

Good picture, no sound ❏ Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 34).

cannot be input. Change the sound setting for the external input device to Linear PCM.

Audio noise ❏ Make sure that the antenna is connected with 75-ohm coaxial cable.

❏ Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords. ❏ To avoid TV interference, make sure to use an undamaged antenna cable.

❏ Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable box’s remote control. Then

press TV(FUNCTION) once (the TV indicator lights up) 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 Sound setting (see page 53), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If

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

a while until the picture comes back.

❏ Turn off the TV for a while or let the TV run on another channel. Unlike plasma

TV and CRT TV, image retention on this TV is not permanent. It is only a

temporary condition, (see page 10).

If screen is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ambient light, part of the screen may appear white even when TV is power off. This is due to the strong light reflecting off the TV screen and reflections coming behind the screen. This is a structural property of the projection TV and is not a defect. ❏ Position your TV away from such light sources.

It is time for you to replace the projection lamp used in you TV. ❏ Turn to page 66 on “How to Replace the Lamp” and follow the direction on

replacing the lamp.

❏ Use only the lamp designated for your TV model. ❏ After the lamp is replaced, select the “Lamp Replacement” option then select

“Start” in the Setup menu.

❏ The lamp door or lamp might not be securely attached. Repeat the steps on page

66 to ensure that they are both installed securely.
