If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have
a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
For the set with a three-wire grounding type
AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords or convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since this can
result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not
being used. When the set is left
unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet as a precaution against the
possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a
fire hazard.
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.
Object and Liquid Entry
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.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
❑ Clean the cabinet of the LCD
projection 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 solution of mild
soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If the picture
becomes dark after using the LCD projection TV for
a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean
the inside of the LCD projection TV. Consult
qualified service personnel.
❑ Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit.
If not, it may result in electric shock.
❑ Clean the rear cover area of the LCD projection TV

On contamination on the screen surface
The screen surface has a special coating to reduce
reflections. To prevent screen damage, clean the screen as
follows:
❑ Clean the screen with a soft cloth.
❑ To remove hard contamination, use the cloth
moistened with a solution of mild detergent and
water. Do not spray cleaning solution directly to the
TV. It should only be first sprayed to moisten the
cleaning cloth.
❑ Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline
cleaner, acid cleaner, scouring powder, chemical
cloth, or solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner,
as these may scratch the screen's coating.
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets
near water — for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
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 cart or stand recommended
by the manufacturer for the specific
model of LCD projection 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.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or
bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never be
blocked or covered.
❑ Never cover the slots and openings
with a cloth or other materials.
❑ Never block the slots and openings
by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug
or other similar surface.
❑ Never place the set in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or built-in
cabinet, unless proper ventilation is
provided.
❑ Do not place the set near or over a
radiator or heat register, or where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
Power-Cord Protection
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.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact
with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in
Canada provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

About the LCD projection TV
Although the LCD projection 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 LCD screen. This is a structural property of the
LCD 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 LCD 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 approx. 5.9 or 6.6 ft. (1.8 or 2.0
m) for KDF-42WE655 or KDF-50WE655, or
approx. 6.8 or 7 ft. (2.1 or 2.2 m) for KDF-55WF655
or KDF-60WF655 away from your LCD projection
TV, and within 60º of the vertical and 130º of the
horizontal viewing area for KDF-42WE655 or KDF-
50WE655, or within 55º of the vertical and 125º of
the horizontal viewing area for KDF-55WF655 or
KDF-60WF655. If you sit too close to the TV, you
may experience eye strain. For the best picture
quality, install your LCD projection TV according to
“Recommended Viewing Area” on page 30.
❑ When installing your LCD projection TV against a
wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.
❑ Avoid installing the LCD projection TV near a

Projection lamp
❑ Your LCD 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 16.)
Cooling fan
❑ This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You
may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the

Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new LCD projection TV
include:
❑ WEGA Engine
™
: Delivers superb picture quality from any video
source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-
analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. This engine
features unique Sony technology, including:
● The first step in the digital processing system, Composite
Component Processor (CCP-X), which enhances input signal-to-
noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing.
● DRC
®
(Digital Reality Creation)-MF V1: Unlike conventional
line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature replaces the signal’s
NTSC waveform with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping
processing. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of
detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three
custom palettes.
● Multi-Image Driver (MID
™
-XU): Allows you to watch two
programs side by side (Twin View

sources.
❑ Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and
enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.
❑ S-master Full Digital Amplifier: Delivers superb clear dialog and
reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound

❑ CineMotion
®
: Using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the
CineMotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing
back movies or other video sources on film.
❑ Twin View
®
: Using Multi-Image Driver (MID
™
-XU), Twin View
allows you to watch two programs side by side with the ability to zoom
in on one picture and listen to the program in the selected window. You
can watch pictures from two different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p or
480i) simultaneously.

Enjoying Your LCD Projection TV
Indicators
The indicators show the current status of your LCD projection TV.
Screen
To minimize reflection, the screen’s surface has a special coating. Read the
instructions “Cleaning the Screen Surface” on page 15 carefully before
cleaning.
Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen’s finish.
Projection lamp
Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. The
projection lamp is located under the Control Panel cover as noted in the
diagram above. Note the following:
❑ After turning on your LCD projection TV, it may take a while before the
picture appears (1 minute or less).
❑ When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the
lamp with a new Sony XL-2100U or XL-2100 (for WE655 series), or
XL-2200 (for WF655 series) replacement lamp (not supplied).

Notes on the LCD
Projection TV
To enjoy clear pictures
❑
Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining.
❑ 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 LCD 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 LCD projection TV will return to
normal.
When not using the LCD Projection TV for a long period of time
❑
Turn off the main power on the front of your LCD projection TV before
going to sleep or going out. Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if
you anticipate not using the LCD 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 LCD Projection TV
❑
Before carrying, unplug the power cord and disconnect all cables.
See page 28 for instructions on how to carry your LCD projection TV.
Cleaning the Screen
Surface
To remove dust on the screen, wipe with soft 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 cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
and water solution. Use gentle pressure when cleaning.

Replacing the Lamp The projection lamp, which illuminates the picture, has a limited life.
If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or the LAMP indicator
on the front of the LCD projection TV flashes, it is time to replace the lamp
with a new one (not supplied).
❑ Use a Sony XL-2100U or XL-2100 (for WE655 series), or XL-2200
(for WF655 series) replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement.
Use of any other lamp may damage the LCD projection TV.
❑ Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing
so may cause injury or fire.
❑ Before replacing the lamp, turn the power off on the main unit. Wait
several minutes, then unplug the power cord. (The cooling fan will
continue to blow for about two minutes after turning the power off.)
❑ Allow the lamp to cool down completely before removing it. The
surface of the lamp remains extremely hot for at least 30 minutes after
the power has been turned off.
❑ Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp
receptacle of the LCD projection TV after removing the lamp. Doing so
may cause fire or electrical shock.
❑ To avoid being burned, do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp
has been removed.
❑ Mount the new lamp securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire or the
screen to go dark.
❑ Do not touch the glass of the new lamp with your fingers.

Making Video
Connections
Your TV includes several types of video inputs. When connecting your TV,
use the inputs that are available on your components that provide the best
video performance, as described below.
About Using
SVIDEO
If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack
(shown at left), you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture
quality (compared to an A/V cable). Because S VIDEO carries only
the video signal, you also need to connect audio cables for sound, as
shown below.

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.
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.
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.

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.
1 Push the eject button on the TV’s CableCARD slot to release the card.

Applications Menu (see
page 116).

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 LCD 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 94.
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)
❑ Lock (protect) or delete files on the Memory Stick

Memory Stick
Compatibility
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)
❑ 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 LCD 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.
Memory Stick
Functionality
Sony cannot guarantee or assure the Memory Stick functionality on this
television in the following cases:
❑ 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.
✍ 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.

Glossary
analog signal A signaling method that uses continuous changes in the amplitude or frequency of an
electronic transmission to convey information.
aspect ratio Refers to the ratio between the width and height of the screen. This LCD projection
TV has a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio, as opposed to a 4:3 aspect ratio.
CableCARD The PCMIA shaped card provided by your cable TV company which descrambles the
digitally encrypted cable channels. You should check with your local cable TV
company about CableCARD service.
component video Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals
and one brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color
accuracy than composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two
separate portions.
composite video Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color
shade (chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.
digital television (DTV) A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV
provides higher resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.
HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
Provides an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between this TV and any
HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and
A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio.
National Television

establishes television standards in the United States, such as NTSC Color, the
standard used in this LCD projection TV.
RF Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum that is used to transmit TV and
radio signals.
S VIDEO S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color
(chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution
than composite video, which carries the signals together.
VHF/UHF VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from 30 to 300
megahertz. UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the frequency spectrum from
300 to 3,000 megahertz.

lines.
480p Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which
transmits each line from top to bottom.
720p Provides 720 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which
transmits each line from top to bottom.
1080i Provides 1080 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which
first transmits all the odd lines on the LCD projection TV screen and then the even
lines. 1080i is one of the formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).

Video
Problem Possible Remedies
No picture (screen not lit), no
sound
❏ If your LCD projection TV does not turn on, and a red light keeps flashing, your
LCD projection TV may need service. Call your local Sony Service Center.
❏ Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
❏ Press POWER on the front of the LCD projection TV.
❏ Press TV/VIDEO to cycle through the connected video sources.
❏ Try another channel; it could be station trouble.
Dark, poor or no picture
(screen lit), good sound
❏ Adjust the Picture option in the Video menu (see page 98).
❏ Adjust the Brightness option in the Video menu (see page 98).
❏ Check the antenna/cable connections.
No color/dark picture/color is
not correct
❏ Adjust the Color option in the Video menu (see page 98).
Only snow and noise appear on
the screen
❏ Check the antenna/cable connections.
❏ Try another channel; it could be station trouble.
❏ Press ANT to change the input mode (see page 61).
Dotted lines or stripes ❏ Adjust the antenna.
❏ Move the LCD projection TV away from noise sources such as cars, neon signs,
or hair-dryers.
Double images ❏ Using a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable may solve the problem.
❏ Set the Image Shift to an appropriate value. The default setting is Auto. If
doubled images appear with Auto, select the best value from 1 to 4 (see page
113).
“Black box” on screen ❏ You have selected a text option in the Setup menu and no text is available. (See
page 112 to reset Setup selections.) To turn off this feature, set the
Caption
Vision
option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1
instead of Text 1-4.
Black bands appear at the top
and bottom of the screen
❏ Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9
(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your LCD projection TV will
show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For
more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your
program provider).
Certain programs on DVD or
other digital sources display a
loss of detail, especially during
fast-motion or dark scenes
❏ The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your
LCD projection TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts
(small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your
LCD projection TV’s large screen and ability to show very fine detail, and is
normal for certain digitally recorded programs. Adjust the reality/clarity in the
DRC Palette menu (see page 100) to optimize the picture while viewing these
sources.

Audio
Channels
Problem Possible Remedies
Good picture, no sound ❏ Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 60).
❏ Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Audio menu (see page 103).
❏ Make sure the MTS option is set to Stereo or Mono (see page 103).
Audio noise ❏ Communication problems may occur if infrared communication equipment (e.g.,
infrared cordless headphones) is used near the LCD projection TV. Please use
headphones other than infrared cordless headphones. Also, if you use infrared
communication equipment other than infrared cordless headphones, move the
infrared transceiver away from the LCD projection TV until the noise is
eliminated, or move the transmitter and receiver of the infrared communication
equipment closer together.
Cannot gain enough volume
when using a cable box
❏ Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable box’s remote control. Then
press FUNCTION once, and the LCD projection TV indicator lights up and
adjust the LCD projection TV’s volume.
Sound seems weak or
insufficient
❏ The LCD projection TV’s audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it
might be better set to Stereo. In the Audio menu (see page 103), set the MTS
setting to Stereo. If already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce
background noise during weak stereo broadcasts).
Cannot raise the volume on
external speakers
❏ If the Speaker option is set to Off and the Audio Out option is set to Fixed (in
order to output the sound to your audio system) use your audio receiver to adjust
the sound (see page 103). Or, to use the LCD projection TV remote control, set
the
Audio Out option to Variable.
❏ To turn on the LCD projection TV speakers, set the Speaker option to On (see
page 103).
Problem Possible Remedies
Cannot receive upper channels
(UHF) when using an antenna
❏ Press ANT to select the VHF/UHF input (see page 61).
❏ Use Auto Program in the Channel menu to add receivable channels that are not
presently in the LCD projection TV’s memory (see page 106).
TV is fixed to one channel ❏ Use Auto Program in the Channel menu to add receivable channels that are not
presently in the LCD projection TV’s memory (see page 106).
❏ Check your Channel Fix settings (see page 106).
Cannot receive any channels
when using cable TV
❏ Use Auto Program in the Channel menu to add receivable channels that are not
presently in the LCD projection TV’s memory (see page 106).
❏ Press ANT to select the CABLE input (see page 61).
Cannot receive or select

channels. Check with your cable company for more information.
❏ The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Digital Setup menu (see
page 107).

the LCD projection TV
❏ Be sure the Label Video Inputs option is not set to Skip (see page 113).
Cannot operate Menu ❏ If a menu option appears in gray, this indicates that the menu option is not
available.
Lost password ❏ In the password screen (see page 108), enter the following master password:
4357. The master password clears your previous password; it cannot be used to
temporarily unblock channels.
TIMER/STANDBY LED on
front panel is lit
❏ The LED (see page 24 or 126) blinks when the TV is turned on, then shuts off
when the picture is displayed. If the LED blinks continuously, this may indicate
the TV needs service. When lit, indicates that the timer is set (see page 24 or 126).
When the timer is set, this LED will remain lit even when the TV is turned off.
Digital cable box does not work ❏ If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box using a splitter, as described on
page 41, you must use a special bi-directional splitter that is designed to work
with your digital cable box. Contact your cable provider for details.
Cannot record digital channels
to VCR
❏ Only analog channels can be recorded to your VCR.
The replacement lamp does not
light up
❏ The screw of the lamp cover may be slanted. Take out the screw, insert it straight
into the screw hole, and then tighten it completely (see page 19 for KDF-WE655
series, see page 22 for KDF-WF655 series).
TV cabinet creaks ❏ When the TV is in use, there is a natural rise in temperature, causing the cabinet to
expand or contract and may be accompanied by a slight creaking noise. This is not
a malfunction.
