This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION

To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

CAUTION

When using TV games, computers and similar products with your projection TV, or viewing a TV station whose logo always stays on the screen, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (nonmoving) pattern such as a station logo is left on the screen for long periods of time, especially at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are the result of misuse.

Using This Manual

Installing and Connecting the Projection TV (continued)

Precautions

We recommend that you carefully review the contents of the following four sections in the order provided to ensure that you fully understand the operation of your new projection TV.

1 Installing and Connecting the Projection

This section guides you through your initial set up. It shows you how to install your projection TV, to connect your new components and to connect to the antenna and cable.

2 Basic Set Up

This section teaches you the basic skills needed to operate your new projection TV, including Auto Set Up. It shows you how to operate the remote control’s special functions.

3 Using Your New Projection TV

This section shows you how to begin using your new projection TV. It shows you how to use your remote control’s features.

4 Adjusting Your Set Up (menus)

This section teaches you how to access on-screen menus and adjust your projection TV’s settings.

Instructions in this manual are written for the remote control. Similar controls may be found on the projection TV console.

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 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. 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 and Connecting the Projection TV

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. 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.

Carrying Your Projection TV

Carrying the projection TV requires three or more people.

The projection TV has been equipped with casters for easy movement on a hard surface. Please move your projection TV using the casters.

Using the S-Link Function

S-Link is a Sony innovation designed to make the Sony components work together. It allows you to automatically switch the projection TV’s input mode to video when you press the play button on the Sony S-Link VCR.

Using the S-Link function without a Sony AV receiver

1 Connect the Sony VCR (DVD). (see

“Connecting a cable TV system/antenna to a VCR” on page 6 or “Connecting a DVD Player with component video output connectors” on page 12)

2 Using an S-LINK cable, connect the

S-LINK jacks on the VCR (DVD) and the projection TV. Ensure that both ends are seated firmly and that the projection TV’s S-LINK jack is in the same row as the AUDIO/VIDEO cable extending from the Sony VCR (DVD).

Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.

Refer also to the Operating Instructions supplied with the VCR, satellite receiver, DVD player, LD player and other Sony video equipment for details.
