WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the projection TV to rain or moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present inside the projection TV. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
For general safety:
• Do not expose the projection TV to rain or moisture.
• Do not open the rear cover.
• 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.
For safe installation:
• Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.
• Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swimming pool, etc.
• Do not install the projection TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places.
• 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.
• Do not install the projection TV where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations.
• Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures below 5ºC.
• If the projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirror or lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.
• 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 projection TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
• Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
• 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 the manufacturer for the specific model of projection TV. 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.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it indicates a need for service.
For safe operations:
• Do not operate the projection TV on anything but 220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
• Do not operate the projection TV if any liquid or solid object falls in it — have it checked immediately.
• 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.
• Do not keep the projection TV plugged in if you are not going to use it for several days. Even if your projection TV is turned off, it is still connected to AC power when plugged into an outlet.
• Do not pull the power cord to disconnect the projection TV. Pull it out by the plug.
• Do not plug in too many appliances to the same power socket. Do not damage the power cord.
• Do not place any objects on the projection TV. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
• To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or naked lights (e.g. candles) away from the projection TV.
• If a snapping or popping soun d 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.
• Give careful consideration to the environment when disposing of batteries.
Carry the projection TV in the specified manner
If you carry the projection TV in a manner other than the specified manner and without the specified number of persons, it may drop and a serious injury may be caused. Be sure to follow the instructions mentioned below.
• Carry the projection TV with the specified number of persons (see page 11).
• Do not carry the projection TV holding the speaker grill.
• Hold the Projection TV tightly when carrying it.
• Before carrying the projection TV, disconnect any accessories or cables.
• Do not carry the projection TV holding the screen edges.
Caution
• When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your projection TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty.
• Do not use the projection TV at altitudes higher than 4000 m, as doing so might cause malfunctions.

Cleaning
Clean the rear cover area of the projection TV regularly. Dust in rear cover area may cause a problem with the cooling system of the projection TV set.
• To remove hard contamination, use a cloth moistened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not use a spray cleaning solution directly to the TV. It should only be used to moisten the cleaning cloth.
• 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 sl ightly dampened with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If picture brightness decreases over time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.
• Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. If not, it may result in electric shock.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items, like a ball point pen or a screw driver. Otherwise, this type or contact may result in a scratched screen.
About the projection TV
Although the projection 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.
Projection lamp
• Your 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 16.)
• 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 projection TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear some fan noise (depending on the placement of the projection TV), which may be more noticeable during the night, or when ambient noise is particularly low.
The features you will enjoy include:
• “DRC-MF” for viewing higher quality pictures (page 32)
• “Twin” for watching two programs at the same time (page 37)
• “Program Index” for displaying multiple programs (page 38)

Step 1: Install the projection TV

To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is recommended to use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install the projection TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of reflecting material. If necessary, cover them with dark carpeting or wall paper.
Carrying the projection TV
Carrying the projection TV requires at least two people. Do not hold the pedestal or the front panel of the projection TV. Doing so may cause these parts to break off.
Take precaution during the installation
To ensure the safety of children and the projection TV, keep children away from the TV during installation. Climbing on or pushing the projection TV or its stand may cause it to fall.
When installing the projection TV against a wall
Keep the projection TV at least 10 cm away from the wall to provide proper ventilation.
To prevent the projection TV from falling
As a protective measure, secure the projection TV as follows.
Using the projection TV stand with support belts
You can use the projection TV stand model SU­GW11 (for KF-WE42/KF-WE50, not supplied) or model SU-GW12 (for KF-WS60, not supplied) with a support belt.
Using Your New Projection TV
Do not grasp the pedestal or the front panel of the projection TV.
When moving the projection TV, place one hand in the hole on the lower portion of the TV while grasping the top with the other hand, as shown in the illustration below.

Replacing the lamp

The projection lamp, which illuminates the picture, has a limited life. If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or the (LAMP) indicator on the front of the projection TV flashes, it is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied).
WARNING
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• Use a Sony XL-2100 (for KF-WE42/KF-WE50), or XL-2300 (for KF-WS60) replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the projection TV.
• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the power off on the main unit. Wait several minutes, then unplug the power cord. (The cooling fan will continue to blow for about two minutes after turning the power off.)
• Allow the lamp to cool down completely before removing it. The surface o f the lamp remains extremely hot for at least 30 minutes after the power has been turned off.
• Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle of the projection TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.
• To avoid being burned, do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.
• Mount the new lamp securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire or the screen to go dark.
• Do not touch the glass of the new lamp with your fingers.
