This is not a malfunction. (Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

Handling of Broken Glass and Liquid Crystal Leakage

If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline liquid (which is toxic), with bare hands as cuts or poisoning/skin irritation may occur. Also, do not let glass fragments or leaked crystalline liquid get into your eyes or mouth. Should either contact your eyes or mouth, rinse the contacted area thoroughly with water and consult your doctor.

Notes on the Wide Screen Mode

• The Wide Screen Mode function of this TV allows for various display options: select the appropriate Wide Screen Mode for the original aspect ratio of the picture you are watching.

• If you change the screen size using the Wide Screen Mode feature with the TV installed in a public space for commercial use or public purpose, it might be an infringement of copyright.

• If you select “Wide Zoom” when watching the picture with 4:3 aspect ratio, part of the picture is transformed. You can watch the picture with its original aspect ratio in “Normal” mode.

• The upper and lower parts of the picture may not appear in the screen according to the size of the original picture. In this case, adjust the picture position (see page 41).

“Memory Stick”

About the “Memory Stick”

What is a “Memory Stick”?

A “Memory Stick” is a compact, portable and versatile Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data storage capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. A “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable, the “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage. “Memory Stick” media are available in two sizes: a standard size and a compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, the “Memory Stick Duo” is physically the same size as a standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be used with products compliant with the standard “Memory Stick.”

Tip

The “Memory Stick” feature allows you to view digital images that are stored on “Memory Stick” media on your TV screen.

Picture viewer

This TV’s “Memory Stick” picture viewer can display digital photo (JPEG) and movie (MPEG1) files stored on a “Memory Stick.” You can also run a Slide Show of those images, and customize the features of the Slide Show by selecting automatic or manual Slide Show.

Digital Camera Mode

This TV’s Digital Camera Mode can display only images using the JPEG or MPEG1 formats, recorded on a DCF-compliant digital camera.

* JPEG is a standard technology format for

compressing a still image (extension .jpg). JPEG stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group,” which is the organization that implemented this format.

** DCF stands for “Design rules for Camera File

systems,” which has specifications established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

*** MPEG is a format for compressing a moving

image (extension .mpg).

Unsupported image types

•Digital photos stored in TIFF or any other nonJPEG compression format

•Digital photos recorded using products that are not DCF-compliant, including the following Sony products –Digital still cameras DSC-D700, DSC-D770 –Digital video cameras DCR-TRV900/DSR-

on a PC

–Images stored in a “Memory Stick” that was

formatted on a PC –Images less than 16 dots wide or high –Images more than 4,096 dots wide or high

Notes on use

• We recommend that you back up important data on the hard disk of your PC. Sony cannot be responsible for any lost or damaged data.

• Use of some pre-recorded image data except for personal use may be an infringement of copyright.

• When removing the “Memory Stick,” do not attempt to just pull it from the Memory Stick slot. If you do so, the “Memory Stick” or the slot may be damaged.

• There is mechanism inside the Memory Stick slot to prevent the “Memory Stick” from popping out. This may prevent the “Memory Stick” from coming out smoothly. If this happens, do not pull the “Memory Stick” out forcibly. Pull it out straight towards you. Otherwise, the “Memory Stick” may be damaged.

• To protect small children from injury from “Memory Stick,” remove any “Memory Stick” from the TV’s Memory Stick slot and store it in a safe location when it is not in use.
