Precautions

Viewing the TV

• To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical length away from the TV set.

• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

Volume adjustment

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

About the TV

• Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a malfunction.

• When High contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image retention on the screen. This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the retained image.

• 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 TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

Projection lamp

• Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one when: – the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life.

Please replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen, – the lamp indicator on the front 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 48.)

• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inhe rent in this type of lamp.

• The projection lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use, a small amount of mercury may be released. In this situation, move away from the product and ventilate the area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.

Cooling fan

This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear some fan noise (depending on the placement of the TV), which may be more noticeable during the night, or when ambient noise is particularly low.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from mains socket before cleaning. To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.

• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.

• Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set continuously for a long period as the display panel becomes hot.

• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little as possible.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.

• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.

• If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.

Optional Equipments

• Do not install optional components too close to the TV set. Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.

• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.

Projection lamp

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

Notes

• After switching 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-5200 (for KDS55A2000, not supplied) or XL-5300 (for KDS-70R2000, supplied) replacement lamp. How to replace the lamp, see page 48.

Warning

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.

To detach the speakers

(KDS-70R2000 only)

The speakers on the KDS-70R2000 can be detached if required. If you use a multi-channel surround speaker system and there is insufficient space to install the display unit, we recommend using the speakers detached.

When removing the screws, use a coin to turn them counterclockwise.

2 Attach the side cover that came in the box.

Press the cover at the top, middle, and bottom to make sure that it is attached securely (see illustration).

Note

Facing the TV, make sure that the side covers marked “R” (right) and “L”(left) are attached to the corresponding sides of the TV.

3 Tighten the side cover with the three

screws that you removed in step 1.

When attaching the screws, use a coin to turn them clockwise.
