USE

For the TV with a three-wire grounding type AC power cord plug (Class 1 unit)

This TV must be connected to an AC power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

AC power cord

If you damage the AC power cord, it may result in a fire or an electric shock. If the AC power cord is damaged, stop using it and ask your dealer or Sony service center to exchange it.

sDo not place the TV where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

sDo not pinch, bend, or twist the cord excessively. The core lines may be bared and cut, and cause a short-circuit, resulting in a fire or an electric shock.

sDo not convert or damage the power cord.

sDo not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord.

sDo not pull the power cord.

s Do not move the TV with the power cord plugged in.

s Keep the power cord away from heat sources.

sBe sure to grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord.

Wall outlet

Do not use a poor fitting outlet.

Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it is loose, it may cause arcing and result in a fire.

Contact your electrician to have the outlet changed.

Wiring

For your safety, unplug the AC power cord when wiring cables.

Cable wiring

Take care not to catch your feet on the cables. It may damage the TV.

Electric shock

Do not touch the AC power cord or the TV with a wet hand. If you plug/unplug the AC power cord from the TV with a wet hand, it may cause electric shock.

Lightning

For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power line surges.

ANTENNA

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 the 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.

Welcome to the World of TM

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color Television. This manual is for model KDL-26S2000, KDL-32S2000, KDL40S2000 and KDL-46S2000. Be sure to check the supplied accesories against the list on page 46.

Connecting the TV

Cable System or VHF/UHF Antenna System

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 “Changing the Wide Screen Mode” on page 21). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna/cable input using the supplied 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 from the TV as possible.

You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page 14). For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the Quick Setup Guide.
