Introducing the TV

Welcome

 

Thank you for purchasing this Sony SXRD projection TV. This manual is for

 

models KDS-R50XBR1 and KDS-R60XBR1.

 

 

Package Contents

Along with your new TV, the packing box contains a remote control and two

 

AA (R6) batteries. See page 116 for the complete list of packaging contents.

 

 

Features

Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:

 

SXRD: SXRD is a Silicon X-tal Reflective Display technology that

 

delivers high-level resolution, greater contrast ratio, faster response speed

 

and film-like reproduction compared to other conventional devices.

 

WEGA Engine: Delivers superb picture quality from any video source

 

by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog

 

conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. This engine features

 

unique Sony technology, including:

 

The first step in the digital processing system, Composite

 

Component Processor (CCP-X), which enhances input signal-to-

 

noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing.

 

DRC® (Digital Reality Creation)-MF V2: Unlike conventional

 

line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature replaces the signal’s

 

NTSC waveform with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping

 

processing. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of

 

detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three

 

custom palettes.

 

IFP (Image Format Processor): The Digital Texture Enhancer

 

function of this chip provides the optimal contrast by utilizing a

 

wide dynamic range. This chip also reduces signal noise, by using

 

an improved motion vector algorithm, while maintaining image

 

sharpness.

 

Advanced Iris: This advance iris shutter works automatically open and

 

close according to the incoming signal level to create brighter whites

 

and better contrast in dark scenes.

 

Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and

 

enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.

 

CineMotion®: Using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the

 

CineMotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing

 

back movies or other video sources on film.

Introducing the TV

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 on to 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 pages 6).

 

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 6

 

for stubborn stains and dirt.

Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has limited life and needs to be replaced when the Lamp indicator flashes or the screen becomes darker. Note the following:

After turning on your TV, it may take a while (1 minute or less) before the picture appears.

When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a new Sony XL-5100 replacement lamp (not supplied).

The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into the light housing when the power is on.

Connecting the TV

Overview

Making Video and

Audio Connections

Your new SXRD projection TV can receive both analog and digital broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV.

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and choose the correct display format (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page 53). 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 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

To get the most out of your TV, the input signals to the TV (and connected devices) should use the connections that provide the best video and audio performance. The chart below shows typical connectors that are currently available on the latest A/V devices.

About Using

S VIDEO

If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack (shown at left), you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture quality (compared to an A/V cable). Because S VIDEO carries only the video signal, you also need to connect audio cables for sound, as shown below.

About Using HDMI to DVI Adapter

If you are connecting equipment with a DVI connector to 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 at your local electronics store. When you use the adapter, you will also need to use separate audio cables for sound because the DVI connector carries video signals only.
