Important Information
Please read the following information on using and maintaining the projection TV, for optimum viewing quality.
Picture quality
• Poor color registration (the red, green and blue signals do
not overlap properly) may be caused by the influence of
the earth’s magnetism. Correct this with the
CONVERGENCE adjustment (pp. 24 > 25).
• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch
the surface with hard objects.
• Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for
instance, when using the FREEZE function (p. 42) or
when operating a video game or personaU computer, may
damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the picture
contrast level low (PICTURE adjustment, pp. 44 - 45).
Illumination
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.
The floor and walls should not be of a light>reflecting
material. If necessary, cover them with dark carpeting or
wallpaper.
Installation
• To prevent intemaü heat built-up, do not block the
ventilation openings.
• Do not instaül the projection TV in a hot or humid place, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical vibration.
• Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures below
5*C (41 »F).
• After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to
a wann location, or if the room temperature he» changed
suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor color 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.
• Avoid placing the projection TV on a slanted or uneven
floor.
Maintenance
• Save the original shipping carton and packing material to
use if you ever have to ship your projection TV. For
maximum protection, repack your projection TV as it was
originally packed at the factory.
• To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodially deem it
with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a
cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or
abrasive cleansers since these will damage the cabinet.
As a safety precaution, unplug the projection TV before
cleaning it.
• To remove dust from the front of the screen, unplug the
projection TV and wipe it gently with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with water or a mild detergent solution, using
vertical strokes only. Then wipe it again with a dry, soft
cloth. Never use solvents or thinners for cleaning
purposes.
• If the picture turns dark after the projection TV has been in
use for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean
the inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel for this.

Making Antenna Connections
Although you can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna with the projection TV, an outdoor antenna will
provide you with better picture quality.
You can receive cable TV by connecting a cable supplied by your local cable company.
Connecting a VHF, UHF or VHF/UHF combination antenna , or CATV cable
Check your antenna cable type. If you have 75-ohm coaxial cable (round), attach an F-type connector (not
supplied). If you have 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat), attach a 300-75 ohm adaptor (not supplied).
Using 75ohm coaxial cable (round)
Prepare the end of the cable by attaching the F-type
connector as shown below.

Operating the equipment
To operate the video equipment, refer to the instruction

You can operate a Sony VCR or video disc player, or

For details, see "Using the Pre-Programmed Remote
Commander” (pp. 66 - 72).
About S video input
Video input and output signals can be separated into Y
(luminance or brightness) and C (chroma or color) signals.
Usually these two signîüs are combined in a VCR and sent
as one signal to a projection TV. Separation of the Y and C
signals prevents them from interfering with one another,
thereby improving picture (especially color) quality.
This projection TV is equipped with S video input jacks
through which these separated signals can be input directly.
