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.

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. Do not allow children to climb on to it. Do not place the TV on its side or face up.

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 hight 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.
