CAUTION
How to reduce the risk of “Image
Retention” on your Projection TV
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos
displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to
your TV, resulting in retention of the image in the picture.
Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of
causing image retention:
View a variety of program sources or programming
material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the
program material viewed reduces the possibility that a
single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes
in your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust
the picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and
“Brightness” levels. Image retention is accelerated by
higher “Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.
Please refer to your instruction manual for instructions on
adjusting picture settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY
YOUR WARRANTY
This document is for the remote control RM-Y909.
MODELS: KP-46WT510, KP-51WS510, KP-57WS510,
and KP-65WS510.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read these instructions
completely, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions
and instructions placed on the set or described in the
operating instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use
and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
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.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a
three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
for grounding). Follow the instructions below:
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords or convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since this can
result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not
being used. When the set 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.
If a snapping or popping sound 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.
Object and Liquid Entry
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.
For the set with a polarized AC power cord
plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
For the set with a three-wire grounding type
AC plug
This plug will only fit into a groundingtype power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
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 slightly dampened with
solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong
solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.
If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV
for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the
inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.
3
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets
near water — for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
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 Sony for the
specific model of TV. No part of the
TV set should overhang any edge of
the TV cart or stand; any
overhanging edge is a safety hazard.

and cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or
bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never be
blocked or covered.
❑ Never cover the slots and openings
with a cloth or other materials.
Power-Cord Protection
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.

Cable Box Connections
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, and
❑ You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:
❑ Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
cable box when the signal is scrambled.
❑ Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your 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 projection TV, so you can not
use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)
✍ DIGITAL CABLE BOX USERS: Do not use this connection. The TO
CONVERTER jack is not compatible with digital cable boxes.
1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV’s TO CONVERTER
jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The projection TV’s internal converter
allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into
the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable
box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
3 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the
projection TV’s AUX jack.

cable box, you cannot use
this connection because
the TO CONVERTER
jack is not compatible with
digital cable boxes.
❑ You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to
your projection TV.
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled
channel is sent to the 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 17 instead.
1 Connect the coaxial connector 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 TV’s
VHF/UHF jack.

Connecting a VCR and Cable Box
Use this hookup 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, and
❑ You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:
❑ Use the projection TV remote control to change channels on your cable
box when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control
to operate your cable box, see “Programming the Remote Control” on
page 70.
❑ Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. Your 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 signal is sent to the projection TV, so you cannot
use the Twin View feature.)
Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.
1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the
cable box’s IN jack. The projection TV’s internal converter allows you
to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the
projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box,
eliminating the need for an external splitter.

✍ DIGITAL CABLE BOX USERS: If you are connecting a digital cable box,
you will need a special bi-directional splitter that is designed to work
with your digital cable box. Contact your cable provider for details.
3 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the VCR’s
IN jack.
4 Using AUDIO and S VIDEO cables, connect the VCR’s AUDIO and S
VIDEO OUT jacks to the projection TV’s AUDIO and S VIDEO IN
jacks.

instead of the yellow video cable on a combined A/V cable.
To use an S VIDEO cable, connect the VIDEO OUT jack of the playback
VCR to the VIDEO IN jack of the recording VCR. Since S VIDEO does not
provide audio, you must still connect audio cables to provide sound.
✍ You cannot record signals from equipment connected to the Y, PB, PR
input.
