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.

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.

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.

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 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

1 Open the panel of the remote control.
2 Move the slide switch to the desired component type.
3 Press CODE SET inside the panel.
✍ You must perform step 4 within 10 seconds of step 3, or you must
start again from step 3.
4 Close the panel and enter the three-digit manufacturer’s code number
using the
0-9 buttons.
5 Press ENTER.
6 To check if the code number works, aim the projection TV’s remote
control at the component, open the panel, and press the green
button. If it responds, the programming is completed. If not, try using
the other codes listed for that manufacturer.
Tips
❑
If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by one
until you come to the correct code for your component.
❑If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously
entered at that setting is erased.
❑In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your component with
the Sony remote control. In this case, use the component’s own remote
control unit.

picture
You cannot get anything but TV
channels in your second picture

❏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.
