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. Please keep this notice with the instruction manual.
Safety
Operate the projection TV only on 120 V AC. The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into
the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the
cabinet, unplug the projection TV immediately and have it checked by qualified service personnel before operating it further.
If you will not be using the projection TV for several
days, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the cord. For details concerning safety precautions, see “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS” on page 4.
Installing
To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the
ventilation openings.
Do not install the projection TV in a hot or humid
place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures
below 5°C (41°F).
If the projection TV is transported directly from a
cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color due to moisture condensation. In this case, please wait a few hours to let the moisture evaporate before turning on 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 a reflective material.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Sony Corporation has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR energy efficiency.

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.
4
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.

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.

box when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control to operate your cable box, see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 71.
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.
5 Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the projection
TV’s AUX jack.
To view scrambled channels, press ANT to switch to the AUX input.

Other Information
Problem Possible Remedies
You get the same program in the window picture as in the main picture
You cannot get anything but TV channels in your second picture
Favorite Channel does not display your choices
Some video sources do not appear when you press TV/
VIDEO
Digital cable box does not work
Both may be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in either the main
picture or the window picture.
You may be running all your channels through a cable box. The cable box will
only unscramble one signal at a time, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If possible, run a direct cable to your projection TV’s VHF/UHF input (this will only work if your cable system provides an unscrambled signal.)
Be sure the video label has not been set to skip your video inputs. See the Setup
menu on page 62.
Verify that Favorite Channel is set to Manual in the Channel menu (see
Favorite Channel” on page 56).
Ensure that Video Label is not set to SKIP (see “Video Label” on page 62).
Be sure that you have not connected the digital cable box to the TV's TO
CONVERTER jack. This jack is not compatible with digital cable boxes.
If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box, you must use a special bi-
directional splitter that is designed to work with your digital cable box. Contact your cable provider for details.
