For Safe Operations

Always switch off by pressing POWER button on the remote or the TV first to ensure proper lamp cooling process.

Caution

Do not use the TV at altitudes higher than 3,000 m, as doing so might cause malfunction.

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 defect.

Installation

s 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 direct sunlight.

s The picture quality may be affec ted by your viewing position. For the

best picture quality, install your TV according to “Recommended Viewing Area” on page 12.

s When installing your TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10

cm) away from the wall.

Projection Lamp

s Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace

the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:

• the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” appears on the screen,

• the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,

• screen images become dark,

• no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

s 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 49.)

s 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 Fans

This TV uses cooling fans. You may hear the noise of fans running, depending on the placement of your TV. The noise may be more noticeable during the night or when the background noise level is low.

Disposal of Used Batteries

To preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to your local laws or regulations.

For Customers in the United States

Lamp in this product contains mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (http://www.eiae.org).

Welcome to the World of BRAVIA™

Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA™ high-definition television. The quality of the image you see on your BRAVIA TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience the full detail of your new BRAVIA TV, you need access to HD programming. Your BRAVIA TV can receive and display HD programming from:

• Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna

• HD cable subscription

• HD satellite subscription

• Blu-ray Disc™ Player or other external equipment

Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.

To learn more about HDTV, visit: http://www.sony.com/HDTV

The Four Steps to Full HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source, and Setup

Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a source of HD programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup

connections (see page 17). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to connect other optional equipment.

Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio

You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference. The 1080 HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the standard TV signal.

High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standarddefinition TV.

16:9 (high-definition) source

Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect rati of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen and maintains a crisp, clear, vivid picture.

4:3 (standard-definition) source

Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD sources.

• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 26, 40

and 42).

TV Home Menu: XMB™ (XrossMediaBar)

The XMB™ is a menu of BRAVIA features and input sources displayed on the TV screen. The XMB HOME button on your remote control to access the XMB

To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating. Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface. Special care is required.

Cleaning the Screen Surface

Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture quality. To dust off the screen use a soft cloth. Be sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 7 for stubborn stains and dirt.

Temporary Image Retention

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 image retention.

Projection Lamp

Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has a lifespan and needs to be replaced when the Lamp Indicator flashes or the screen becomes darker. Your TV also has a function to display a message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” to let you know that the lamp has reached its expected lifespan. Note the following: s After turning on your TV, it may take a while

(one minute or less) before the picture appears.

s When the projection lamp wears out, the

screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a new Sony XL-5200 replacement lamp (not supplied).

s After lamp is replaced, please set the Lamp

Replacement option in the General

settings (see page 48).

“How to Replace the Lamp”, see page 49.

• 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.

• This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).

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