About the SXRD projection TV
Although the SXRD projection TV is made with highprecision technology, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly
on the SXRD screen. This is a structural property of the
SXRD panel and is not a defect.
Installation
❑ 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 SXRD projection TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or
direct sunlight.
❑ The picture quality may be affected by your viewing
position. Sit at least 8 ft. (approx. 2.4~2.5 m) away
from your SXRD projection TV, and within 76º of
the vertical and 130º of the horizontal viewing area.
If you sit too close to the TV, you may experience
eye strain. For the best picture quality, install your
SXRD projection TV according to “Recommended
Viewing Area” on page 32.
❑ When installing your SXRD projection TV against a
wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.
❑ Avoid installing the SXRD projection TV near a
heater, etc.
Projection lamp
❑ Your SXRD projection TV uses a projection lamp as
its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a
new one (not supplied) when:
• the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel
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 20.)
❑ When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear
a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is
inherent in this type of lamp.
Cooling fan
❑ This SXRD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You
may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the
placement of your SXRD projection TV. The noise
may be more noticeable during the night or when the
background noise level is low.
❑ When the temperature of the SXRD projection TV
rises, the cooling fan runs faster.
❑ Although the SXRD projection TV is switched to
standby mode, the cooling fan continues to run for a
few minutes.

To minimize reflection, the screen’s surface has a special coating. Read the
instructions “Cleaning the Screen Surface” on page 17 carefully before
cleaning. Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen’s finish.
Detachable speakers (left/right)
The left and right speakers output audio signal. The speakers are packed
separately in the packing box. For details on how to attach the speakers to
the TV, see page 18.
Projection lamp
Your SXRD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. The
projection lamp is located under the Front Panel Cover as noted in the
diagram above. Note the following:
❑ The SXRD projection TV cools down its projection lamp when the
power is turned off. It takes up to two minutes for the picture to come
back after the TV is turned on again. The POWER/STANDBY LED
blinks in green while the picture is coming up.
❑ When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the
lamp with a new Sony XL-5000 replacement lamp (not supplied).
16
✍ After replacing the lamp, be sure to attach the lamp cover securely;
otherwise, your SXRD projection TV will not turn on. For details on lamp
replacement, see “Replacing the Lamp” on page 20.
✍ The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your SXRD
projection TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look
into the housing when the power is on.
✍ The projection lamp is a consumable product that wears out after use for
a certain period of time. When the lamp wears out, replace it with a new
one so that you can enjoy the original quality of the SXRD picture again.
Page 19
Introducing the Sony SXRD Projection TV
Notes on the SXRD Projection TV
To enjoy clear pictures
Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly onto the
❑
screen.
❑ The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with a
sharp or abrasive object (see “Cleaning the Screen Surface” below).
On moisture condensation
If your SXRD projection TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm
❑
location, is placed in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes
suddenly, the picture may blur or show poor color. This is caused by
moisture condensation on the lenses inside. If this happens, leave the
power on to help the moisture evaporate. When the condensation has
evaporated, the picture of your SXRD projection TV will return to
normal.
When not using the SXRD Projection TV for a long period of time
Turn off the main power on the front of your SXRD projection TV
❑
before going to sleep or going out. Unplug the AC power cord from the
outlet if you anticipate not using the SXRD projection TV for more than
a week.
When turning off the power
The fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow several
❑
minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the breaker off.
Before carrying the SXRD Projection TV
Before carrying, unplug the power cord and disconnect all cables.
❑
See page 30 for instructions on how to carry your SXRD projection TV.
❑ Be sure to first remove the speakers before moving your SXRD
projection TV.
Introducing the Sony SXRD Projection TV
Cleaning the Screen Surface
To remove dust from the front of the screen, wipe with the supplied cleaning
cloth.
✍ Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder,
window cleaners or solvent such as alcohol or benzene. Using these
types of products may damage the screen.
✍ To clean the screen, use the supplied cleaning cloth lightly moistened
with a mild detergent and water solution. Use gentle pressure when
cleaning.
✍ The supplied cleaning cloth is washable with warm water and a mild
detergent solution, and can be used repeatedly.
✍ To remove the static from the screen, use the supplied anti-static brush.
All the dust and static will be removed. Use gentle pressure when

❑ Use the SXRD projection TV’s remote control to change channels on
your SXRD projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. Your
SXRD projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.
❑ Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your
cable box, only one signal is sent to the SXRD projection TV, so you
cannot use the Twin View feature.)
Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.
1 Connect the CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter.

Using CableCARD
CableCARD provides cable subscribers with access to digitally encrypted
cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that will enable you
to receive not only standard definition but also high definition television. The
CableCARD, which is provided by your cable TV company, is inserted into
the TV’s rear panel CableCARD slot. After the service is activated with your
cable TV company, the card replaces the need for a separate set-top box.
About Using CableCARD
If you are planning to use a separate cable box for digital cable TV services, you may be able to receive
programming using this TV with the CableCARD instead — except in the following circumstances:
❑ Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD service in your viewing area.
❑ You want to access your cable TV company’s interactive or advanced features (such as video-on-
demand or, in some cases, pay-per-view). At this time, these services require a bidirectional link,
which are only available through the use of a separate set-top box. CableCARD is currently a
unidirectional device only, and cannot provide these advanced services.
Check with your cable TV company for CableCARD service details, limitations, pricing, and
availability, all of which are determined by your cable TV company — not Sony.
Activating CableCARD Service
Before you can use CableCARD service, you need to insert the CableCARD
(supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as described
below:
1 Insert the CableCARD into the TV’s CableCARD slot.
✍ CAUTION: Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result in permanent
damage to the card and the TV.

2 Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place.
3 After 1-2 minutes, the CableCARD setup screen is automatically
displayed. This screen includes information your cable TV company
will request before they can activate your service.
4 Follow the displayed instructions: Phone your cable TV company. A
representative will guide you through the activation process.
5 After your CableCARD is activated, your cable TV company will
download the service information, including the channel list, to the
CableCARD. After the CableCARD has acquired channels from your
cable TV company, the TV tunes to the lowest available channel.

Removing the CableCARD
In the event you want to cancel your service, contact your cable TV
company.
✍ Once the CableCARD is removed, your TV will no longer decrypt digital
cable TV programming services that require CableCARD.

6 To check if the code number works, aim the SXRD projection TV’s
remote control at the equipment and press SAT/CABLE that
corresponds with that equipment. If it responds, you are done. If not, try
using another code listed for that manufacturer.
✍ If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by one
until you come to the correct code for your equipment.
✍ If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously entered
at that setting is erased.
✍ In some cases, you may not be able to operate your equipment with the
supplied remote control. In such cases, use the equipment’s own remote
control unit.
✍ Whenever you remove the batteries to replace them, the code numbers
may revert to the factory setting and must be reset.

About Memory Stick
Memory Stick (sold separately) is a new, compact, portable, and versatile
Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds that
of a floppy disk. Memory Stick is specially designed for sharing digital data
among Memory Stick compatible products such as digital cameras and
digital video cameras. Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be
used for external data storage.
The Memory Stick Viewer on your SXRD projection TV allows you to view
files that are stored on Memory Stick media. You can view:
❑ Digital photos (JPEG files)
❑ Movies (MPEG1 files)
You can also play slide show background music using MP3 files stored on
your Memory Stick.
For more information about handling Memory Stick media, see “Notes on
Using Memory Stick Media” on page 96.
Features With the Memory Stick Viewer, you can:
❑ View photo (JPEG) and movie (MPEG1) files in a thumbnail index or
Slide Show
❑ Set customized Slide Show options, including transitions and
background audio
❑ Pan, zoom, and rotate photos
❑ Mark photos and set quantities of prints to be output when the Memory
Stick is inserted into your photo printer (not supplied)

Memory Stick Compatibility
Memory Stick Functionality
This television is compatible with the following Sony brand Memory Stick
media types:
❑ Memory Stick Media
❑ Memory Stick Duo and PRO Duo Media (can be used without the
Memory Stick adaptor)
✍ The Memory Stick slot on your TV has been designed to accommodate standard
and compact versions of Memory Stick. It is not necessary to use an adaptor for
Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo. If you use an adaptor, it may
damage the adaptor and Memory Stick slot.
❑ Memory Stick Media with Memory Select Function
❑ Memory Stick PRO Media
About Memory Stick PRO Media
Memory Stick PRO media features vary by and are dependent upon the
design of host hardware devices. Memory Stick PRO in this SXRD
projection TV has been tested to support up to 1 GB media capacity and does
not support high-speed transfer, MagicGate copyright protection technology,
or access control security features.
Sony cannot guarantee or assure the Memory Stick functionality on this
television in the following cases:
82
❑ You are using non-Sony brand Memory Stick media.
❑ You are using video or audio clips that have been processed on a
computer.
❑ You are using files that were obtained from the Internet or from a printed
film processing center.
❑ The Memory Stick has been formatted on a personal computer.
Sony recommends that you back up all data stored on Memory Stick media
to avoid potential data loss. In the above two cases, in order to avoid
potential data corruption that may occur, be sure to back up data prior to use
with the TV’s Memory Stick Viewer. Sony cannot accept responsibility in
the event that data recorded to Memory Stick media is lost or damaged. For
certain non-Sony brand Memory Stick media, you can view images, but you
cannot rotate, delete or protect/unprotect images on the television. An error
message will occur if you attempt any of these operations. This is a result of
the unique file directory structure on these particular flash memory media
and is not a malfunction of the television.

About DCF File Names
Most Sony brand digital still and video cameras automatically record still
photo and movie files using DCF compliant directory and file names.
If you selected the Digital Camera Folders option, as described on page 95,
you might want to have your digital camera’s instruction manual handy in
order to check how files and directories are organized for your specific
model of digital camera.
DCF stands for “Design Rules for Camera File Systems,” which are
specifications established by the Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association (JEITA: formerly JEIDA).
