Welcome! Precautions

Thank you for purchasing the Sony Super Trinitron® TV.
Here are some of the features you will enjoy with your
TV:

• AUTO SET UP feature that allows you to set up your
TV easily by pressing the SET UP button.

• On-screen graphic menus that let you visually set
various settings.

• Two tuner Picture-in-Picture or Picture & Picture
(Twin View^'^) that allows you to watch another
channel, video or cable image as a window or left
picture.

• On/off timer that allows you to display the TV
program of your choice on the screen for a specified
duration.

• VA SPEAKER option of the AUDIO menu that lets
you take advantage of the Sony SA-VA series speaker
system's surround sound and super woofer mode
when you connect it to the TV.

• Dynamic Focus circuitry that automatically focuses
the scanning electron beam for enhanced sharpness,
especially at the corners.

• The supplied joystick remote commander that allows
you to operate Sony and other manufacturers' video
equipment, cable box and DSS receiver.
The Learning function of the commander allows
you to program the remote commander to operate the
equipment of manufacturers whose codes are not pre
programmed.

• 3-Dimensional Comb Filter for NTSC signals that
improve picture quality by reducing rainbow noise on
a striped image and flicker which may be caused by
color variation.

• XDS (Extended Data Service) display that allows you
to set the clock automatically and receive various
information which a broadcaster offers with a

program.

• Favorite channel feature that allows you to watch

eight channels as well as the currently selected
channel at the same time and lets you select your
favorite channel among them.

Safety

• Operate the TV only on 120 V AC.

• 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 TV and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet if you are not
going to use it for several days or more. To
discormect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never
pull the cord itself.

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

Installing

• To prevent internal heat build-up, do not block the

ventilation openings.

• Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place, or in a

place subject to excessive dust or mechanical
vibration.

About this manual

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

Getting Started

Step 1: Installing

the TV

Your TV is composed of two components, the Monitor
unit and the Feature box.
Before using your TV, connect the two components.
Connect the MULTI INPUT connector on the Monitor

unit to the MULTI OUTPUT connector on the Feature
box with the supplied 36-pin multi-cable. Then cover
the connectors with the supplied terminal cover.

(Rear of Monitor unit)

I

To disconnect the multi-cable

While pushing the projections on both sides of the
plug, pull the cord out by the plug.

• Connect the monitor's AC cord to the AC outlet on the Feature
box.

Getting Started

I

step 2:

Connections

Although you can use either an indoor antenna or
outdoor antenna with your TV, we recommend
connecting to an outdoor antenna or a cable TV system
for improved picture quality.

For the customers who connect a cable box, skip "Step
4; Setting up the TV automatically (AUTO SET UP)"
(page 14) and proceed to "Selecting the cable box
output channel (TV INPUT)" (page 18).

Connecting an antenna

Connect your antenna cable to the VHF/UHF antenna
terminal. If you cannot connect your antenna cable
directly to the terminal, follow one of the instructions
below depending on your cable type.

• If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one

by one, until you come to the correct code for your equipment.

• In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-

because your equipment may use a code that is not provided
with this remote commander. In this case, please use the

equipment's own remote control unit or use the learning
