Important Safeguards
For your protection, 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.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
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.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet of the 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 projection TV for a long
period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the
projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.
Installation
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
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 Sony for the specific model of TV. No part of
the TV set should overhang any edge of the TV
cart or stand; any overhanging edge is a safety
hazard. 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.
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna
Grounding.
Antenna lead-in wire
Lightning
For added protection for this television receiver 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.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
❑ When the power cord or plug
is damaged or frayed.
❑ If liquid has been spilled into
the set.
❑ If the set has been exposed to
rain or water.
❑ If the set has been subject to
excessive shock by being
dropped, or the cabinet has
been damaged.
❑ If the set does not operate
normally when following the
operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are
specified in the operating
instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and
will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician
to restore the set to normal operation.
❑ When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it
indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since
opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introducing the Projection TV
What is digital TV
(DTV)?
What are the
benefits of DTV?
Digital television (or “DTV”) refers to the over-the-air television
broadcast standards adopted by the Federal Communications
Commission in 1996. Developed by the Advanced Television Systems
Committee (ATSC), a group of manufacturing companies, these
standards define the specifications for 18 digital broadcast formats.
There are six formats in the ATSC DTV standard that are described as
“High Definition Television.” The remaining 12 video formats are
described as “Standard Definition Television.”
Although the technical aspects of these standards are transparent to
television viewers, the benefits are as dramatic as those experienced
when digital music on compact disk was introduced — probably
even more so.
Your Sony projection TV is capable of receiving all 18 formats of
digital TV formats, including high-definition.
For the television viewer, digital TV represents one of the most
significant advances in television since color television replaced black
and white. Here are just a few of the benefits:
❑ Dramatically superior picture quality, with up to six times the
picture detail of today’s analog television.
❑ Multichannel digital sound, including Dolby
❑ Widescreen. DTV can provide the same type of widescreen
presentation as you see in movie theaters. The new screen size
has a 16:9 width-to-height (or “aspect”) ratio, compared with a
4:3 aspect ratio of today’s conventional television. This means
that digital broadcasts of movies no longer need to be
“reformatted” for television.
®
Digital sound.
Do I need a special
antenna to receive
digital television?
No. Initially, digital television will arrive through a standard, overthe-air VHF/UHF antenna, which means you can receive digital
broadcasts using the same terrestrial (“rooftop”) antenna you
currently use to receive conventional programming. However, if you
currently receive your VHF/UHF programming via cable, you will
need to install a VHF/UHF antenna in order to receive digital
programming. Your Sony projection TV, however, is also equipped
with connectors that may allow you to connect DTV-compatible cable
boxes when they become available.
7
Introducing the Projection TV
Can this TV receive
conventional analog
broadcasts that are
available today?
When is digital
broadcasting being
introduced?
How can I select
digital channels?
Yes. This TV is designed to receive conventional analog broadcasts,
cable TV, as well as all formats of digital broadcasts. Of course, you
can also connect VCRs, DVD players, digital broadcast (satellite)
receivers, and other audio/video components.
The transition from today’s analog broadcasting system to digital
television will take time to complete. In the fall of 1998, some
networks started to broadcast digital programs.
Digital channels are indicated by the use of a decimal or “dot” in the
subchannel number (for example, “2.1”). This number appears when
you press the
subchannel directly, use the 0-9 buttons, button, and the
button.
For example, to select subchannel 2.1, press:
2 + + 1 + ENTER
You can also select digital channels using an on-screen program
guide. See page 38 for details.

Basic Connections
Setting Up the Projection TV
This section describes how to connect a VHF/UHF antenna, CATV
cable, and CATV cable box.
Connecting a
VHF/UHF Antenna
The connection you choose depends on the type of VHF/UHF
antenna you have in your home.
Newer homes are usually equipped with 75-ohm coaxial cable (A):
A VHF Only or VHF/UHF

Connecting a VCR and Cable
Use this hookup if you have cable TV that does not require a cable
box.
1 Connect the cable TV cable to the VCR’s IN jack.
2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the
projection TV’s CABLE jack.
3 Using an A/V cable, connect the VCR’s Audio and Video OUT
jacks to the projection TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks.
✍ If the VCR you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack, you can use an S VIDEO
cable for improved picture quality (compared to a combination audio/video
cable). Because an S VIDEO cable carries only the video signal, you will also
need audio cables for sound.
