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 see page 72 for instructions on adjusting picture
settings.
This will help you reduc e the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read thes e 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 batt ery 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:
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. Thi s is a safe ty fe ature. If you are unab le 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 grounding-type
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.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
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.
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 wi th a cloth slightly dampen ed with
a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never
use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.
If the p icture b ecomes dark after using the p rojection TV for a long
period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the
projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near
water — for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or an adult and serious damage
to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended
by Sony for the specific model of TV. No part of
the TV set should overhang any edge of the TV
cart or stand; any overhanging edge is a safety
hazard. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
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 w hen being turned on or off.

scramble all channels.
❑ You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 26 and 28.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through
the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. (You must first program
the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming
the Remote Control” on page 51.)
❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly

About Using This Connection with Dual Picture (Twin View, etc.) Features
With this connection, you can use all the dual picture features for unscrambled channels
coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.
However, you can use only some of the dual picture features for channels coming
through the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. For example, when you switch the TV’s
input to AUX — to select the cable box input — the picture displays only in the left
window. For example, if you turn on Twin View, you can watch cable channels coming
into the VHF/UHF jack in the right window, but you cannot swap the pictures between
the left and right windows.

2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to
the cable box’s input jack. (The TV’s internal converter lets you
switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV
and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box,
eliminating the need for an external splitter.)

Factors Affecting Twin View
❑ If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in both windows
because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a time.
❑ If you use a cable box, you can view the cable box output in one window and view a
different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by using the
TV/VIDEO button. For details, see “Connecting Optional Equipment” on page 25.
❑ Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs display in the left
window, but not the right.
❑ If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a DVD) side by side,
the 4:3 source appears larger.
❑ Twin View does not display channels that are blocked by parental settings (see page 80).

Twin View cannot display
anything but TV channels
Twin View displays the same
program in both windows
❏ If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on
page 24), you cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable
box can unscramble only one channel at a time. But if you need the cable
box to unscramble only some (usually premium) channels, you can use
Twin View for unscrambled channels if you connect both a cable and cable
box, as shown on page 22.
❏ You can use Twin View to view a signal from a different source that is
connected to the TV's A/V jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the
second window by pressing the TV/VIDEO button while in Twin View.
❏ Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs
display in the left Twin View window, but not the right.
❏ Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a
signal airing.
❏ You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try
cycling through the video inputs by pressing the TV/VIDEO button.
❏ If you connected equipment to the TV’s AUX jack, it will display in the left
Twin View window, but not the right.
❏ Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing the TV/VIDEO button.
Check that the Video Label option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup Menu on
