Cleaning

s Clean the AC power plug regularly.

If the plug is covered with dust and it p icks up moisture, its insulation m ay deteriorate and result in fire. Unplug the AC power plug and clean it regularly.

s Unplug the AC power cord when

cleaning this unit. If not, it may result in electric shock.

s Clean the cabinet of the 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 a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use cloth or strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.

s If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the

instruction provided on the package.

s If the picture becomes dark after using the TV for a long period of

time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Power

Always turn the unit off when it is not being used. When the unit 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.

Sound

If a snapping or popping sound from the TV is continuous or frequent while the TV is operating, unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service technician. It is normal for TV’s to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.

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 National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

Making Video and Audio Connections

Best Video Performance

To display clear crisp pictures, first you must connect your TV correctly and also need to choose the correct display format (see “16:9 Enhanced” in “Using the Setup Menu” on page 52). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

Your TV includes several types of video inputs. When connecting your TV, use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video performance, as described below.

Sony Equipment Programmable Code Number

VCR/DVD 301 (Sony VCR)

SAT/CABLE 801 (Sony Satellite Receiver)

Follow the steps below to program your TV’s remote control to operate non-

Sony video equipment.

The equipment must have infrared (IR) remote capability in order to be used with this remote control.

Find the three-digit code for your equipment from the “Manufacturer’s

Codes” listed on page 35. If more than one code number is listed, try

entering from the code listed first.

1 Press CODE SET.

2 Press the or FUNCTION button you want to program on

the remote control. The selected FUNCTION button (VCR/DVD or SAT/CABLE) will

flash.

3 Enter the three-digit manufacturer’s code number using the --9

buttons while the button is lit (approximately 10 seconds).

4 Press button.

When the programming is correct, the selected FUNCTION button will flash twice slowly, and when not, flashes five times quickly.

Insert two size AA batteries (supplied) by matching the e and E on the batteries to the diagram inside the remote control’s battery compartment.

To check if the code works

Aim your TV’s remote control at the equipment, and press the VCR/DVD

and/or SAT/CABLE (POWER) button that corresponds with the equipment.

If the equipment responds, the programming is completed. If not, try the

next code listed.

If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously entered at that setting is erased.

If no code is input within the above specified time, or an invalid or incorrect code number is input, the remote control automatically goes back to the previous setting.

In some cases, you may not be able to program your remote control to operate other equipment. In such cases, use the equipment’s own remote control.

Dead batteries or removing the batteries may cause the programmable codes to be lost and revert back to factory settings. Reprogramming the codes may be necessary.

This problem is more serious for a Letterbox movie because the entire picture, including its upper and lower black bands, is compressed. You can watch these pictures at their original aspect ratio by setting 16:9 Enhanced to Auto.
