Precautions

Thank you for purchasing the Sony Color Rear Video Projection TV. Here are some of the features you will enjoy with your projection TV:

• Two tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) that allows you to watch another TV channel, video or cable image as a window or left picture.

• FAVORITE CHANNEL that allows you to view and choose from eight of your favorite programs.

• CH INDEX that allows you to view and choose from twelve programs.

• SAVA SPEAKER option on the AUDIO menu that lets you utilize the Sony SAVA series speaker system’s surround sound and super woofer mode when you connect it to the projection TV.

• S-LinkTM that allows you to automatically change the TV’s input mode, turn on the VCR, and play a tape by just pressing the VCR’s play button. This feature is a design unique to Sony.

• Y/CB/CR input connectors that allow you to connect a DVD player with component video output connectors.

About this manual

The instructions in this manual are for models KP48V75, KP-53V75, KP-53V75C, and KP-61V75. Before you start reading this manual, please check your model number, located at the rear of the projection TV. Model KP-53V75 is used for illustration purposes in this manual. Any differences in operation are clearly indicated in the text, for example “KP-48V75 only”. The differences in specifications are indicated in the text.

Instructions in this manual are based on use of the remote control. You can also use the controls on the projection TV if they have the same name as those on the remote control.

-EN

This projection TV operates on extremely high voltage. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the precautions below.

Safety

• Operate the projection TV on 120 V AC (220 V AC for

KP-53V75C) only.

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for safety

purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,

unplug the projection TV and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the projection TV from the wall outlet if you

are not going to use it for several days or more. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

For details concerning safety precautions, see the supplied leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”.

Note on 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 using vertical strokes only. 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.

Installing

• To prevent internal heat build-up, 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 has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirror or lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture evaporate before using 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 reflecting material. If necessary, cover them with dark carpeting or wall paper.

Getting Started

Step 1: Installing the projection TV

Using the S-Link function

S-Link function is a Sony innovation designed to make your Sony components work together. It allows you to switch automatically the TV’s input mode to video when you press the play button on your Sony S-Link VCR. It also allows you to turn the VCR and TV off at the same time with the SYSTEM OFF button on the remote control (see page 44 for details).

Using the S-Link function without a Sony AV receiver

To make use of this function, be sure to connect the video equipment to the VIDEO IN and S-LINK connectors with the same label, that is, to VIDEO 1 IN and S-LINK VIDEO 1, to VIDEO 3 IN and S-LINK VIDEO 3, and to VIDEO 4 IN and S-LINK VIDEO 4.

RK-G34, etc. (not supplied)

Notes

• The projection TV may malfunction if you connect the S-Link cable to the projection TV without connecting the other end of the cable to the VCR.

• When making the S-Link connection, be sure to insert all the connectors firmly.

Refer also to the Operating Instructions supplied with your VCR, DBS tuner, LD player, and other Sony video equipment for details.

Insert two size AA (R6) batteries (supplied) by matching the + and – on the battery to the diagram inside the battery compartment.

Notes

• Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six months. If the remote control does not operate properly or the indicators of the buttons on the remote control do not light up, the batteries may be worn out. When replacing batteries, replace both of them with new ones.

• Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different types of batteries together.

• If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you don’t plan to use the remote control for a long period of time.

• Do not handle the remote control roughly. Do not drop it, step on it, or let it get wet.

• Do not place the remote control in direct sunlight, near a heater, or where the humidity is high.

Names of buttons on the remote control are indicated in different colors to represent the available functions.
