Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these instructions
completely, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions
and instructions placed on the set or described in the
operating instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use
and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on
the serial/model plate. If you are not sure
of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or
local power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a
three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
for grounding). Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a polarized AC power cord
plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. 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.
Alternate Warning 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 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 projection TV
for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the
inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.

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 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.

Cable Box and Cable
This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:
❑
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them
(pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable
box, and
❑
You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:
❑
Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
cable box when the signal is scrambled.
❑
Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your 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 channel is sent to the projection TV, so you can not
use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)
1
Connect the Cable TV cable to the projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
2
Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV’s TO CONVERTER
jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The projection TV’s internal converter
allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into
the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable
box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
3
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the
projection TV’s AUX jack.
✍
Pressing ANT on the remote control switches between the channels
coming in through the cable box (scrambled) and those coming directly
to the TV (unscrambled).

Cable Box Only
Use this hookup if:
❑
You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded
signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and
❑
You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to
your projection TV.
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled
channel is sent to the projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View
feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using
the hookup on page 17 instead.
1
Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable
box’s IN jack.
2
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the TV’s
VHF/UHF jack.
Also, set Cable to ON in the Channel menu. (see page 52)
✍
If you will be controlling all channel selection through your cable box,
consider using the Channel Fix feature to set your projection TV to
channel 3 or 4. (see page 53)
✍
Your Sony remote control can be programmed to operate your cable
box. (see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 65)
✍
To change channels using the cable box, set your projection TV to
channel 3 or 4 depending on the cable box channel output.

✍
If viewing a 720p or 1080i format input source, the aspect ratio will
maintain the original 16:9 aspect ratio.
✍
Hookups that affect your ability to use Twin View:
- If you are viewing all channels through the cable box, the Twin
View feature will not work. The cable box only unscrambles one
signal at a time, so the right picture will be the same as the left
picture.
- You can watch a scrambled cable channel and another video
source. Be sure your DVD player, VCR or satellite receiver are
connected to one of the VIDEO IN 1-6 and AUX inputs on the rear
of the projection TV. Pictures from equipment connected to VIDEO
5, 6 and AUX will only appear in the left picture, not in the right.
