Safety Information
This set is to operate on a 220-240V AC
supply only. Take care not to connect too
many appliances to the same power socket
as this could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of
the TV. Refer to qualified service personnel
only.
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the
TV For ventilation, leave a space of at least
10cm all around the set.
For environmental and safety reasons, it is
recommended that the TV set is not left in
standby mode when not in use. Disconnect
from the mains. However, some TVs may
have features which require they are left in
standby. The instructions in this manual will
inform you if this applies.
For your own safety, do not touch any part
of the TV, power lead or aerial lead during
lightning storms.
Never place the TV in hot, humid or
excessively dusty places. Do not install the
TV where it may be exposed to mechanical
vibrations.
Never push objects of any kind into the set as
this could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the set. If
any liquid or solid object does fall into the
cabinet, do not operate the TV. Have it
checked immediately by qualified personnel.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose the TV to rain or moisture.
To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or
naked lights (eg candles) away from the TV.
Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft,
lightly dampened cloth. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring
powder or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine, or antistatic spray. As a safety
precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.
Place the TV on a secure stable stand. Never
attempt to move the TV and stand together always move the TV and stand separately. Do
not place the TV on its side or face up. Do not
allow children to climb on to it.
Pull out the power lead by the plug. Do not
pull on the power lead itself.
Unplug the power lead before moving the
TV. Avoid uneven surfaces, quick steps or
excessive force. If the set has been dropped
or damaged, have it checked immediately
by qualified service personnel.
Take care not to place heavy objects on the
power lead as this could result in damage.
We recommend you wind any excess lead
around the holders provided on the rear of
the TV.
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the
TV with items such as curtains or
newspapers etc.
Additional Safety Information
• After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly,
pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors
or lenses inside the projection TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.
• 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.
• Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for instance, when operating a video game or personal computer and viewing a
programme in 16:9 mode, may damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the picture contrast level low.
• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.
Screen Burn / Image Retention
•
An “image ghosting”, or “screen burn” may appear on the screen if the television is left operating with, either a still image, or a
programme displaying a bright corner channel logo, for an extended period of time. The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Live”
mode or has a high contrast setting. This image cannot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of occurrence do
not leave the television operating on such a picture, or programme for long periods of time. Repeated extended daily usage of the
same image, or programme can also result in this occurrence which is not covered by the Sony warranty.
