Important Safeguards

Before using your LCD projection TV, please read these instructions completely, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions placed on the set or described in the operating instructions or service manual.

WARNING

To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.

Use

Power Sources

This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the serial/model plate.

If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home,

consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions below:

For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug

This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug

This plug will only fit into a groundingtype power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet

installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Always turn the set off when it is not being used. When the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a precaution against the

possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.

If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is continuous or frequent while the TV is operating, unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the set through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Cleaning

  • Clean the rear cover area of the LCD projection TV regularly. Dust in the rear cover area may cause a problem with the cooling system of the LCD projection TV set.
  • Clean the cabinet of the LCD projection 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 LCD projection TV for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the LCD projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. If not, it may result in electric shock.

Page 14

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:

  • Clean the screen with a soft cloth.
  • To remove hard contamination, use the cloth moistened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray cleaning solution directly to the TV. It should only be first sprayed to moisten the cleaning cloth.
  • 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.
Installation

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer for the specific

model of LCD projection TV. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

  • Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
  • Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Power-Cord Protection

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

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.

About the LCD projection TV

Although the LCD projection TV is made with highprecision technology, 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 panel and is not a defect.

Installation

  • 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 LCD projection TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.
  • The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. Sit at least approx. 5.9 or 6.6 ft. (1.8 or 2.0 m) for KDF-42WE655 or KDF-50WE655, or approx. 6.8 or 7 ft. (2.1 or 2.2 m) for KDF-55WF655 or KDF-60WF655 away from your LCD projection TV, and within 60° of the vertical and 130° of the horizontal viewing area for KDF-42WE655 or KDF-50WE655, or within 55° of the vertical and 125° of the horizontal viewing area for KDF-55WF655 or KDF-60WF655. If you sit too close to the TV, you may experience eye strain. For the best picture quality, install your LCD projection TV according to "Recommended Viewing Area" on page 30.
  • □ When installing your LCD projection TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.
  • Avoid installing the LCD projection TV near a heater, etc.
Projection lamp

  • Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:
    • the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,
    • screen images become dark,
    • no image appears on the display after prolonged use.
  • In rare instances, the bulb 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 16.)
  • 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 LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the placement of your LCD projection TV. The noise may be more noticeable during the night or when the background noise level is low.

Enjoying Your LCD Projection TV

Indicators

The indicators show the current status of your LCD projection TV.

Screen

To minimize reflection, the screen's surface has a special coating. Read the instructions "Cleaning the Screen Surface" on page 15 carefully before cleaning.

Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen's finish.

Projection lamp

Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. The projection lamp is located under the Control Panel cover as noted in the diagram above. Note the following:

  • □ After turning on your LCD projection TV, it may take a while before the picture appears (1 minute or less).
  • When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a new Sony XL-2100U or XL-2100 (for WE655 series), or XL-2200 (for WF655 series) replacement lamp (not supplied).
  • After replacing the lamp, be sure to attach the lamp cover securely; otherwise, your LCD projection TV will not turn on. For details on lamp replacement, see "Replacing the Lamp" on page 16.
  • The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your LCD projection TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into the housing when the power is on.
Page 23
To enjoy clear pictures

  • □ Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining.
  • □ The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with a sharp or abrasive object (see "Cleaning the Screen Surface" below).
On moisture condensation

If your LCD projection TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm location, 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. If this happens, leave the power on to help the moisture evaporate. When the condensation has evaporated, the picture of your LCD projection TV will return to normal.

When not using the LCD Projection TV for a long period of time

Turn off the main power on the front of your LCD projection TV before going to sleep or going out. Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using the LCD projection TV for more than a week.

When turning off the power

□ The fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow several minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the breaker off.

Before carrying the LCD Projection TV

Before carrying, unplug the power cord and disconnect all cables. See page 28 for instructions on how to carry your LCD projection TV.

Cleaning the Screen To remove dust on the screen, wipe with soft cloth.
Surface Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder,
window cleaners or solvent such as alcohol or benzene. Using these
types of products may damage the screen.
Z To clean the screen, use the cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent

and water solution. Use gentle pressure when cleaning.

Page 24

Using CableCARD

CableCARD provides cable subscribers with access to digitally encrypted cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that will enable you to receive not only standard definition but also high definition television. The CableCARD, which is provided by your cable TV company, is inserted into the TV's rear panel CableCARD slot. After the service is activated with your cable TV company, the card replaces the need for a separate set-top box.

About Using CableCARD

If you are planning to use a separate cable box for digital cable TV services, you may be able to receive programming using this TV with the CableCARD instead — except in the following circumstances:

□ Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD service in your viewing area.

□ You want to access your cable TV company's interactive or advanced features (such as video-ondemand or, is some cases, pay-per-view). At this time, these services require a bidirectional link, which are only available through the use of a separate set-top box. CableCARD is currently a unidirectional device only, and cannot provide these advanced services.

Check with your cable TV company for CableCARD service details, limitations, pricing, and availability, all of which are determined by your cable TV company — not Sony.

Activating CableCARD Service

Before you can use CableCARD service, you need to insert the CableCARD (supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as described below:

Turn off the TV.

2 Insert the CableCARD into the TV's CableCARD slot.

CAUTION: Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result in permanent damage to the card and the TV.

Page 65

You can also access information about your CableCARD in the Applications Menu (see page 116).

  • 3 Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place.
  • 4 Turn on the TV. After 1-2 minutes, the CableCARD setup screen is automatically displayed. This screen includes information your cable TV company will request before they can activate your service.
  • 5 Follow the displayed instructions: Phone your cable TV company. A representative will guide you through the activation process.
  • 6 After your CableCARD is activated, your cable TV company will download the service information, including the channel list, to the CableCARD. After the CableCARD has acquired channels from your cable TV company, the TV tunes to the lowest available channel.

Removing the CableCARD

In the event you want to cancel your service, contact your cable TV company.

Once the CableCARD is removed, your TV will no longer decrypt digital cable TV programming services that require CableCARD.

  • 1 Turn off the TV.
  • 2 Push the eject button on the TV's CableCARD slot to release the card.

3 Pull the CableCARD straight out of the slot to remove it.

To install a different CableCARD, follow the instructions in "Activating CableCARD Service" on page 56.
