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 15.)

❑ 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.

Remote control detection

❑ The remote control sensor is in the middle of the TV

on the bottom. For the best results, aim the remote control at this location.

Installing and Connecting the LCD Projection TV

✍ For optimum picture quality, a 75-ohm coaxial cable antenna connection

is highly recommended. Radio waves and other interference can easily affect a 300-ohm twin lead cable, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the LCD projection TV.

✍ Do not use an indoor antenna; they are especially susceptible to radio

noise.

Cable Box and Cable

This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:

❑ Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them

(pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable box.

❑ You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.

With this setup you can:

❑ Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels on your

cable box when the signal is scrambled.

❑ Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels on your

LCD projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your LCD projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

❑ Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your

cable box, only one channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature from your cable box.)

1 Connect a coaxial cable from your cable service to the LCD projection

TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the LCD projection TV’s TO

CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The LCD projection TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the LCD projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.

Use this hookup if:

❑ You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded

signals requiring a cable box to view all channels.

❑ You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to

your LCD projection TV.

When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup on page 30 instead.

1 Connect the coaxial cable from your cable service to the cable box’s IN

jack.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the LCD

projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

Also, set Cable to On in the Channel menu (see page 67).

✍ Your Sony remote control can be programmed to operate your cable box

(see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 77).

✍ To change channels using the cable box, set your LCD projection TV to

channel 2 - 6 depending on the cable box channel output. If you will be controlling all channel selection through your cable box, consider using the Channel Fix feature to set your LCD projection TV to channel 3 or 4 (see page 67).

Setting the Channel Fix feature in the Channel menu (see “Selecting Channel Options” on page 67) ensures that you do not accidentally switch the channels on your LCD projection TV.

Factors Affecting Twin View

❑

If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in both windows because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a time, so the right picture will be the same as the left picture.

❑ If you use a cable box and other video equipment connected, you can

view the cable box output in one window and view a different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by using the TV/ VIDEO button.

❑ Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7

inputs display in the left window, but not the right.

❑ If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a

DVD) side by side, the 4:3 source appears larger.

❑ Twin View does not display channels that are blocked by parental

settings (see page 69).

Troubleshooting

Twin View

Problem Possible Remedies

I cannot get Twin View to work ❏ If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on page 32),

you cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable box can unscramble only one channel at a time.

❏ You can use Twin View to view a signal from a different source that is connected

to the LCD projection TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by pressing TV/VIDEO while in Twin View.

❏ Sources connected to the AUX, HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, DVI-HDTV IN 7 inputs

will display only in the left Twin View window.

There is no Twin View window, or it is just static

Twin View cannot display anything but TV channels

Twin View displays the same program in both windows

❏ Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a signal

airing.

❏ You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try cycling

through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO.

❏ Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO. Check that the

Video Label option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup Menu on page 74.)

❏ Both Twin View windows might be set to the same channel. Try changing

channels in either window.

Remote Control

Problem Possible Remedies

Remote control does not operate

Cannot change channels with the remote control

Remote control does not operate non-Sony video equipment

❏ The batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries. ❏ Check the orientation of the batteries. (Batteries are installed correctly.) ❏ Press FUNCTION (DVD/VCR, SAT/CABLE or TV) to select the equipment that

you want to operate.

❏ Press the TV button first for TV operation. ❏ Make sure this unit’s power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet. ❏ Locate the unit at least 3-4 feet away from fluorescent lights.

❏ If you are using the TV to change channels, first press the TV FUNCTION

button.

❏ If you are using another device to change channels, be sure you have not

inadvertently switched your TV from the channel 3 or 4 setting. Use the Channel Fix option to “fix” the channel based on the hookup you used (see page 67).

❏ If you are using another device to change channels, be sure to press FUNCTION

(DVD/VCR, SAT/CABLE or TV) for that device.

❏ If you replaced the batteries to the remote recently, the code numbers for the video

equipment may need to be reset.

❏ There may be more than one code for the equipment that you are attempting to

operate.

❏ There is a possibility that some non-Sony equipment cannot be operated by your

Sony TV remote.You may need to use the equipment’s original remote control.

Other Information

Video

Problem Possible Remedies

No picture (screen not lit), no sound

❏ If your LCD projection TV does not turn on, and a red light keeps flashing, your

LCD projection TV may need service. Call your local Sony Service Center.

❏ Make sure the power cord is plugged in. ❏ Press POWER/STANDBY on the front panel of the LCD projection TV. ❏ Check to see if the TV/VIDEO setting is correct: when watching TV, set to TV,

and when watching connected equipment, set to VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.

❏ The Parental Control feature is activated (see “Using the Parent Menu” on

page 69).

❏ If your LCD projection TV’s power is on, and the LAMP (red) indication is

flashing, the lamp for the light source has burnt out. Replace it with new Sony XL-2100U or XL-2100 replacement lamp (see page 15).

❏ Try another channel; it could be station trouble.

❏ Adjust the Picture option in the Video menu (see page 61). ❏ Adjust the Brightness option in the Video menu (see page 61). ❏ Check the antenna/cable connections.

For optimum picture quality, a 75-ohm coaxial antenna connection is highly recommended. Radio waves and other interference can easily affect a 300-ohm twin lead cable, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep as far away as possible from the LCD projection TV. Do not use an indoor antenna; they are especially susceptible to radio noise (see page 29).

❏ Adjust the Color option in the Video menu (see page 61).

❏ Check the antenna/cable connections. ❏ Check the Cable setting in the Channel menu (see “Cable” on page 67). ❏ Make sure the channel is broadcasting programs. ❏ Press ANT to change the input mode (see page 51).

❏ Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9

(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your LCD projection TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program provider).

❏ The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your

TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your TV’s large screen and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for certain digitally recorded programs. Adjust the reality/clarity in the Video menu DRC Palette (see page 62) to optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

❏ Ensure that Video Label is not set to “Skip” (see “Video Lable” on page 74).
