[] Wide Screen Mode: Allows you to watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in

wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).

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

CineMotion feature provides smoother picture movement when phtying back movies or other video sources on film.

[] Parental Control: Downloadable digital rating and V-Chip technology

allows parents to block unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

[] HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) Inputs: Provide an

Overview

For optimum picture performance, your new LCD Projection TV is capable of receiving high definition programming through its integrated tuner. It is also capable of receiving HDTV content from a cable or satellite box via the video inputs (HDM[ and YPBPR component video; see page 24).

To display clear, crisp pictures, your TV must be connected properly. To properly connect your TV, follow the basic connections provided in this section. Advanced connection examples are provided in the separate Quick Setup Guide accompanied with your TV. The Quick Setup Guide provides a variety of optional equipment connection diagrams.

It is strongly recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using the 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio frequency, resulting in signal

deterioration. When the antenna/cable connection is done, you must perform an Initial

Setup so your TV will create a list of channels you can view (see page 28). After you can receive and view proglamming you should select the proper Wide Mode setting to display the picture in your preferred aspect ratio. See "Changing the Wide Screen Mode" on pages 49-51.

Making Video and Audio Connections

Best Video Performance

* An adapter is necessary when you are connecting a DVl-equipped device to this TV

(see page 21).

Below are different types of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV. use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video performance, as described below.

About Using HDMI to DVI Adapter

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

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

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

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.)

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.

Take the new lamp out of the box. Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.

,F_Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the

lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

Remove the outside lamp cover.

Remove tile lamp door. Turn tile knob counterclockwise to OPEN and pull out tile covel:

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.

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

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.

(Continued)

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 12).

Reattach tile lamp door Turn tile knob back to CLOSE and secure tile cover.

9 Put tile outside lamp cover back in its place.

j.J"

t O Select the Lamp Replacement option (MENU > Settings > Setup

menu) and follow the on-screen procedure.

!_ Take great care when replacing the lamp or plugging

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

f_oor.

The used lamp

For customers in the United States: This product contains mercury. Disposal of this product may be regulated if

sold in the United States. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronics Industry Alliance (htt p://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.
