Safety information

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

For general safety

• Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

• Do not open the rear cover.

• 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 safe installation

• Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

• Do not block the ventilation openings.

• Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swimming pool, etc.

• Do not install the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places.

• Use the TV at temperatures between 5ºC and 35ºC.

• If the 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 TV.

• Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

• 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 stand recommended by the manufacturer for the specific model of TV. 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.

• When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it indicates a need for service.

• The TV should be installed near an easily accessible power outlet.

For safe operations

• Do not operate the TV on anything but 110-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

• Do not operate the TV if any liquid or solid object falls in it — have it checked immediately.

• Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

• Do not install the TV where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations.

• 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.

• Leave enough space between the TV or furniture and an outlet so that you can plug in/out easily.

Continued

Page 10

• Unplug the AC power cord during lightning storm.

• Do not keep the TV plugged in if you are not going to use it for several days. Even if your TV is turned off, it is still connected to AC power when plugged into an outlet.

• Do not pull the power cord to disconnect the TV. Pull it out by the plug.

• Do not plug in too many appliances to the same power jack. Do not dam age the power cord.

• Do not place any objects on the TV. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or naked lights (e.g. candles) away from the TV.

• 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.

• Give careful consideration to the environment when disposing of batteries.

• Do not unplug or switch off the AC power outlet directly when the TV is on.

• Always switch off by pressing “1” on the remote or the TV first to ensure proper lamp cooling process.

When not in use

• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the TV set is switched off.

• To disconnect the TV set completely, pull the plug from the outlet. However, some TV sets may have features which need the TV set to be left in standby to work correctly. The instructions in this manual will inform you if this applies.

Carry the TV in the specified manner

If you carry the TV in a manner other than the specified manner and without the specified number of persons, it may drop and a serious injury may be caused. Be sure to follow the instructions mentioned below.

• Carry the TV with the specified number of persons (page 4).

• Do not carry the TV holding the speaker grill.

• Hold the TV tightly when carrying it.

• Before carrying the TV, disconnect any accessories or cables.

• Do not carry the TV holding the screen edges.

Caution

Do not use the TV at altitudes higher than 3,000 m, as doing so might cause malfunctions.

Cleaning

Clean the rear cover area of the TV regularly. Dust in rear cover area may cause a problem with the cooling system of the TV.

• To remove hard conta mination, use a cloth moistened wi th a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not use a spray cleaning solution directly to the TV. It should only be used to moisten the cleaning cloth.

• Clean the cabinet of the 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 a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If picture brightness decreases over time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

• Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. If not, it may result in electric shock.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items, like a ball point pen or a screw driver. This type of contact may result in a scratched screen.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Page 11

About the TV

• Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a malfunction.

• When High contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image retention on the screen. This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the retained image.

• If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen, part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural property of the TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

About the AC power cord

The shape of AC plug varies, depending on the regions.

AC power outlet

The TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC power plug must be connected to an AC power outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Projection lamp

• Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one when: – the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life.

Please replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen, – the lamp indicator on the front blinks in red, – screen images become dark, – no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the lamp” on page 39.)

• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inhe rent in this type of lamp.

• The projection lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use, a small amount of mercury may be released. In this situation, move away from the product and ventilate the area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.

Cooling fan

This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear some fan noise (depending on the placement of the TV), which may be more noticeable during the night, or when ambient noise is particularly low.

Additional Information

Replacing the lamp

The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and functionality which affects the overall performance of your TV. How long the Lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending upon your usage and environmental conditions. To maintain the quality of your viewing experience, Sony recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) when the screen becomes dark or the color looks unusual; (2) when on the front of the TV flashes; (3) after approximately 8,000 hours of use (for KS-60R200A/ 50R200A) or 4,000 hours of use (for KS-70R200A); or (4) when the lamp replacement message appears on the TV screen.

WARNING

Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Use a Sony XL-5100 replacement lamp (for KS60R200A/50R200A, not supplied) or XL-5300 replacemant lamp (for KS-70R200A, supplied) for replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.

• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.

• Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.

• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable “pop” sound. This is normal and it is inherent to this type of lamp.

• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of the broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit.

• This TV’s lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. The material contained in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp, so you should dispose of it in the same way.

1 Switch off the TV. Wait several minutes,

then unplug the power cord. (The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after switching the TV off.)

2 Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging

the power cord to allow the lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.

3 Take the new lamp out of its package.

Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.

Notes

• Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp or shorten its life.

• Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

Troubleshooting

Check whether the 1 (on/standby) indicator is flashing in red.

When it is flashing

The self-diagnosis function is activated. (When the indicator flashes two or three times, see page 46.)

1 Count how many 1 (on/standby) indicator flashes between each two second break.

For example, the indicator flashes three times, then there is a two second break, followed by another three flashes, etc.

2 Press 1 on the TV (front) to switch it off, disconnect the AC power cord, and inform your dealer or

Sony service center of how the indicator flashes (number of flashes).

When it is not flashing 1 Check the items in the tables below. 2 If the problem still persists, have your TV serviced by qualified service personnel.

Picture

Problem Cause/Remedy

No picture (screen is dark) and no sound

• Check the antenna connection.

• Connect the TV to the AC power outlet, and press 1 on the TV (front).

• If the 1 (on/standby) indicator lights up in red, press TV "/1.

No picture or no menu information from equipment connected to the video input jack

Double images or ghosting

Only snow and noise appear on the screen

Distorted picture (dotted lines or stripes)

Picture noise when viewing a TV channel

Some tiny black points and/or bright points appear on the screen

No color on programs

• Check that the optional equipment is on and press / repeatedly until the correct input symbol is displayed on the screen.

• Check the connection between the optional equipment and the TV.

• Check antenna/cable connections.

• Check the antenna location and direction.

• Check if the antenna is broken or bent.

• Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable life (three to five years in normal use, one to two years at the seaside).

• Keep the TV away from electrical noise sources such as cars, motorcycles, hair-dryers or optical equipment.

• When installing optional equipment, leave some space between the optional equipment and the TV.

• Make sure that the antenna is connected using the antenna cable.

• Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cables.

• Select “Manual Program Preset” in the “Channel Setup” menu and adjust “AFT” (Automatic Fine Tuning) to obtain better picture reception (page 32).

• The picture of a display unit is composed of pixels. Tiny black points and/or bright points (pixels) on the screen do not indicate a malfunction.

• Select “Reset” in the “Picture” menu to return to the factory settings (page 21).

• Check the connection of the Y, PB/CB, PR/CR jacks 1 or 2.

• Make sure that the Y, P

B/CB, PR/CR jacks 1 or 2 are firmly seated in

their respective jacks.

Page 45

Problem Cause/Remedy

Picture flashes initially when changing to HDMI mode or when switching on the TV in HDMI mode

A white oval image appears on the screen

• This is probably caused by the authentication process between HDMI equipment and the TV. It does not indicate a malfunction.

• This is due to strong light reflecting off both the TV screen and reflections coming from behind the screens.

• Position your TV away from strong ambient light or sunlight, or lower any ambient lights.

Sound

Problem Cause/Remedy

No sound, but good picture

• Press 2 +/– or % (Mute).

• Check that “Speaker” is set to “On” in the “Setup” menu (page 29).

Noisy sound

• See “Picture noise” causes/remedies on page 44.

Channels

Problem Cause/Remedy

Some channels are blank

• Scrambled/Subscription only channel. Subscribe to the Pay Per View service.

• Contact the broadcaster for transmission details.

• Check that the “Program Block” is set to “Allow” in the “Channel Setup” menu (page 31).

General

Problem Cause/Remedy

The TV turns off automatically (the TV enters standby mode)

The TV turns on automatically

Some input sources cannot be selected

• Check if the “Sleep Timer” is activated, or confirm the “Duration” setting of “On Timer” (page 28).

• If the inside of the TV grows warm while Cooling Mode is set to “High”, the TV automatically switches to standby mode. (When Cooling Mode is set to “Normal” under the same conditions, the mode switches to “High”, the cooling fan starts, and a loud whirring noise may be heard.)

• Check if the “On Timer” is activated (page 28).

• Select “Video Labels” in the “AV Setup” menu and cancel “Skip” of the input source (page 30).

Additional Information

Uneven color uniformity appears on the screen when the TV is powered on

• After turning on the TV, you may notice a slight variation in color (tint) and brightness in certain areas of the picture. This will last only a few minutes each time you turn on the TV. This is a normal temperature characteristic of the components and not a malfunction.

Page 46

Problem Cause/Remedy

The remote does not function

• Check that the remote is set correctly for the equipment you are using.

• Check whether the equipment you want to use corresponds to the function button being pressed (page 13).

• If the remote does not operate the equipment even when the remote has been set correctly to the equipment, enter the necessary code as explained in “Programing the remote” (page 37).

• Replace the batteries.

indicator flashes in red

The TV does not switch on

Cannot play shooting games

On/standby indicator flashes in intervals of some blinks at a time

A slight creaking noise occurs from the bottom part of the TV

High temperature warning message appears

• After waiting several minutes, try switching the TV on by pressing "/1 on the remote or 1 on the TV.

• Replace the lamp (page 39).

• The TV cools down its projection lamp after being switched off. It takes up to two minutes for the picture to come back after the TV is switched on again. Wait for a while until the picture returns.

• If the high temperature warning message appears, switch off the TV and wait until the TV’s projection lamp cools down (approximately 5 minutes). If the remote control still does not work, make sure to dust the ventilation slots on the rear of the TV and the cooling fan to provide adequate ventilation around the TV.

• Some shooting games that involve pointing a light beam at the TV screen with an electronic gun or rifle cannot be used with your TV. For details, see the instruction manual supplied with the video game software.

• Three blinks: The lamp cover or the lamp itself is not securely attached.

• Two blinks: If there is a considerable rise in temperature inside the TV such as when any ventilation openings are blocked.

• Other: Consult your dealer or service.

• Advanced Iris applies a mechanical iris system. When Advanced Iris is turned On/Off, a natural creaking noise occurs due to the basic structure of the optical unit. The creaking sound is an inherent nature of this system and is not a defect.

• This message will appear when there is a rise in temperature inside the TV. Make sure to remove dust from the ventilation slots on the rear and both sides of the TV. In addition, make sure that there are no obstacles in front of the ventilation slots. If no blockage is found, you may need to set Cooling Mode to “High”, otherwise the TV will turn off. With Cooling Mode set to “High”, if the message reappears and the TV turns off again, the TV may need servicing. Call your local Sony service center.
