Precautions

On safety

•A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the rear of the unit.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.

•To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•When you install the unit on the floor, be sure to use
the optional stand.

On installation

•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

•Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.

•When you install multiple equipment with the unit,
the following problems, such as malfunction of the
Remote Commander, noisy picture, noisy sound,
may occur depending on the position of the unit and
other equipment.

•Communication problems may occur if the infrared
communication equipment (e.g., infrared cordless
headphones or microphones) is used near the display.
Please use headphones or microphones other than
infrared cordless headphones or microphones. If you
must use the infrared communication equipment,
move it away from the display until the noise is
eliminated, or move the transmitter and receiver of
the infrared communication equipment closer
together.

Precautions

•Because of the way it is made, when this plasma
display panel is used in places with low air pressure,
such as at high altitudes, a buzzing or humming
noise may emanate from the unit.

•If you continue to display the same image on the
screen for a long period of time, part of that image
may burn into the screen and leave a ghosting image
behind. To avoid this, please use the screen saver
function provided to equalize use over the entire
screen. If ghosting occurs, use the screen saver
function, or use video or imaging softwares to
provide constant movement on the screen. If slight
ghosting (image burn-in) occurs, it may become less
conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will never
completely disappear.

•To protect the plasma display, this unit will not
accept commands from the Remote Commander or
from the function buttons on the unit for a certain
period of time after the unit has been switched ON/
STANDBY. After one of these operations, wait
about 8 seconds before entering a command.

On cleaning

To keep the unit looking brand-new, clean it
periodically 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 unit before cleaning it.

Notes on handling and cleaning the display
panel

The display panel’s special surface finish should be
treated with care when cleaning or handling the TV.
When cleaning it, use a soft cleaning cloth to avoid
touching the panel directly.

On repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container in which to transport the
unit. When shipping the unit, repack it as illustrated
on the carton.

On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)

•You may see some bright spots of red, blue or green,
or dark spots appearing on the screen. These do not
indicate a malfunction. Although the plasma display
panel is manufactured with extremely high precision
technology, it can generate a few dark or bright
pixels. Dark spots on the edge of the screen, or
striped color and brightness irregularities do not
indicate a malfunction.

•Do not display the same still image on the screen for
a long time. Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may
appear on a part of the panel. Use the screen saver
function to equalize use of the screen display.

If you have any questions on this unit, contact your

authorized Sony dealers.

negative <
end first.

•In normal operation, batteries will last up to half a
year. If the Remote Commander does not operate
properly, the batteries might be exhausted sooner.
Replace them with new ones.

•To avoid damage from possible battery leakage,
remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the
Remote Commander for a fairly long time.

–

Caution

Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to
the instructions.

When the Remote Commander does not work

Check that the STANDBY indicator lights up and the
Remote Mode in the Remote menu is not set to Off.
The Remote Commander operates the display only
when both of the two conditions below are met.

•The display is turned on, or it is in the standby mode.

•The Remote Mode in the Remote menu is set to
“ON.”

For details on the Remote Mode, see “Remote menu” on
page 24 (GB).

Caution

Caution

When mounting the display horizontally

Front

Provide an ample amount of space
around the display

•When you use the display, make sure there is more
space around the display than that shown in the
figure below. This will allow for proper ventilation.

•The ambient temperature must be 0 °C to +35 °C
(32 °F to 95 °F).

•When installing the display horizontally, use the
display stand SU-42B (not supplied) as a stand.

•Regarding the installation of hardware such as
brackets, screws, or bolts, we cannot specify the
products. Actual installation is up to the authorized
local dealers. Consult with qualified Sony personnel
for installation.

•While the unit is on, a certain amount of heat builds
up inside. This can cause burns. Avoid touching the
top or rear of the unit when it is powered on or just
after it has entered standby mode.

Caution

Notes on Image Retention

If the 1 – 5 are displayed for an extended period of
time, image retention (afterimage) in areas of the
screen may result due to the characteristics of the
Plasma Display Panel. It is possible to reduce image
retention by following steps A – D.

Situations which can result in burn-in and
picture retention

1 Black bars at the top and bottom that appear

with a wide video source (Letter box picture)

2 Black bars to the left and right that appear with

a 4:3 video source (conventional TV broadcast)

3 Video game
4 DVD on-screen menu displays
5 On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of

connected equipment such as DSS, Cable
boxes, video decks, etc.

Precautions to avoid/reduce burn-in and
picture retention

A Use the automatic orbiting Screen Saver

function.

B Avoid displaying channel numbers, on-screen

menus etc., of connected equipment such as
DSS, Cable boxes, video decks, etc. To erase
channel numbers, on-screen menus, refer to the
user manual of connected equipment.

C Reduce brightness of the picture and/or display

video source in “Expd. 4:3” mode or “16:9”
mode.

D It is possible to reduce minor image retention

with the “Pic. Inversion” (Picture Inversion)
function of “Screen Saver,” however, you
cannot remove it once it has occurred.

Notes on the “Pic. Inversion (Picture
Inversion)” function of “Screen Saver”

If the displayed image appears as an image like a film
negative, “Pic.Inversion (Picture Inversion)” of
“Screen Saver” may be set to “Auto,” or “On.” To
return to a normal image, select “Off” or reset the
specified time in “Auto.”
Pic. Inversion (Picture Inversion) inverts the tint of
the picture (Example: white to black, black to white)
and corrects the image retention (afterimage) with
displayed image on. The image looks like a film
negative during picture inversion. This is not a
malfunction.

Connections

Before you start
