What is digital TV (DTV)?
Digital television (or “DTV”) refers to the new
over-the-air television broadcast standards
adopted by the Federal Communications
Commission in 1996. Developed by the
Advanced Television Systems Committee
(ATSC), a group of manufacturing companies,
these standards define the specifications for 18
digital broadcast formats.
There are six formats in the ATSC DTV
standard that are described as “High Definition
Television.” The remaining 12 video formats are
described as “Standard Definition Television.”
Although the technical aspects of these
standards are transparent to television viewers,
the benefits are as dramatic as those
experienced when digital music on compact
disc was introduced—probably even more so.
Your Sony DTV is capable of receiving all 18
formats of digital TV formats, which includes
high-definition.
What are the benefits of DTV?
For the television viewer, digital TV represents
one of the most significant advances in
television since color television replaced black
and white. Here are just a few of the benefits:
Dramatically superior picture quality, with up
to six times the picture detail of today’s analog
television.
Frequently Asked Questions
Multichannel digital sound, including Dolby
Digital sound.
Widescreen. DTV can provide the same type of
widescreen presentation you see in movie
theaters. The new screen size has a 16:9 width-
to-height (or “aspect”) ratio, compared to the
4:3 aspect ratio of today’s conventional
television. This means that digital broadcasts of
movies can be shown in their original format,
and no longer need to be “reformatted” for
television.
Do I need a special antenna to receive
digital television?
No. Initially, digital television will arrive
through a standard, over-the-air VHF/UHF
antenna, which means you can receive digital
broadcasts using the same terrestrial
(“rooftop”) antenna you currently use to receive
conventional programming. However, if you
currently receive your VHF/UHF
programming via cable, you will need to install
a VHF/UHF antenna in order to receive digital
programming.
Can this projection TV receive
conventional analog broadcasts that
are available today?
Yes. This projection TV is designed to receive
conventional analog broadcasts, cable TV, as
well as all formats of digital broadcasts. Of
course, you can also connect VCRs, DVD
players, digital broadcast (satellite) receivers,
and other audio/video components.
When is digital broadcasting being
introduced?
The transition from today’s analog broadcasting
system to digital television will take time to
complete. In the fall of 1998, some networks
began broadcasting digital programs.
How can I select digital channels?
Digital channels are indicated by the use of a
decimal or “dot” in the subchannel number (for
example, “2.1”). This number appears when
you press the CH +/– buttons or press the
DISPLAY button.
Before selecting a digital channel, press DTV
ANT on the remote control so that the TV
FUNCTION indicator on the remote control
lights up in green. To select a subchannel
directly, use the 0–9 buttons, • (dot) button,
and the ENTER button.
For example, to select subchannel 2.1
You can also select digital channels using an on-
screen guide. See page 31 for details.

Safety
• Operate the projection TV only on 120 V
AC.
• The plug is designed, for safety purposes,
to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, contact your dealer.
• If any liquid or solid object should fall
inside the cabinet, unplug the projection
TV immediately and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before
operating it further.
• If you will not be using the projection TV
for several days, disconnect the power by
pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the
cord.
For details concerning safety precautions, see the
supplied leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.”
Note on 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.
Precautions
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.
Installing
• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.
• Do not install the projection TV in a hot or
humid place, or in a place subject to
excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
• Avoid operating the projection TV at
temperature below 5°C (41°F).
• The DTV I/O cable has already been
attached between the projection TV’s
lower panel and the DTV I/O connector
on the projection TV’s upper panel. Never
touch, tamper with, or disconnect the
DTV I/O cable from the connector, as this
may cause damage to the projection TV.
• If the projection TV is transported directly
from a cold to a warm location, or if the
room temperature changes suddenly, the
picture may be blurred or show poor
color. In this case, please wait a few hours
to let the moisture evaporate before
turning on the projection TV.
• To obtain the best picture, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or direct
sunlight. It is recommended to use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling or
to cover the windows that face the screen
with opaque drapery. It is desirable to
install the projection TV in a room where
the floor and walls are not of a reflective
material.

WARNING
To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not expose the TV
to rain or moisture.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC
plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other
outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to
prevent blade exposure.
CAUTION
When using TV games, computers, and similar products
with your projection TV, keep the brightness and
contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-
moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods
of time especially at a high brightness or contrast
setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto
the screen. These types of imprints are not covered by
your warranty because they are the result of misuse.
Note on Caption Vision
This television receiver provides display of television
closed captioning in accordance with §15.119 of the
FCC rules.
Note on convergence adjustment
Before you use your projection TV, make sure to adjust
convergence. For details, see page 27.
Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Use of this television receiver for other than private
viewing of programs broadcast on UHF or VHF or
transmitted by cable companies for the use of the
general public may require authorization from the
broadcaster/cable company and/or program owner.
