Introducing the TV

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD digital TV. This manual is for

models KDL-V26XBR1, KDL-V32XBR1 and KDL-V40XBR1.

Package Contents Along with your new TV, the packing box contains a remote control, and

two AA (R6) batteries. See page 98 for the complete list of packaging

contents.

Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:

s WEGA GATE™: WEGA GATE is a new feature that allows you to

easily navigate to the most convenient TV functions: favorite channels,

cable channels, antenna channels, external input list, viewing photo and

movies or settings.

s 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.

s Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and

enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.

s Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio broadcasts in

wide screen (16:9) mode.

s S-master Full Digital Amplifier: Delivers superb clear dialog and

reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound

fragmentation or jitter noise.

s 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.

s Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block

unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

Connecting the TV

Overview

Your new LCD TV can receive both analog and digital (HD and SD)

broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV company.

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and

choose the correct display format (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page

50). It is strongly recommended to connect the cable and antenna inputs

using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A

300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like,

resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep

it as far away as possible from the TV.

Making Video and

Audio Connections

The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in

the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types

of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of

connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or

satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV,

use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video

performance, as to below.

About Using S

VIDEO

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.

About Using HDMI

to DVI Adapter

If you are connecting equipment with DVI connector to this TV, you will

need to use an adapter. You can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable or an HDMI

adapter (not supplied). Both are available at your local electronics store.

When you use the adapter, you will also need to use separate audio cables

for sound as DVI connector is for video signals only.

Using CableCARD Device

CableCARD device 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 device, 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 Device

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 device instead — except in the following circumstances:

s Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD service in your

viewing area.

s 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. The CableCARD

device 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

device (supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as

described below:

1 Remove the cover and insert the CableCARD device into the TV’s

CableCARD slot.

masterpage:3 columns Right

2 Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place, and then

reattach the cover.

3 After 1-2 minutes, the CableCARD device 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 device is activated, your cable TV company

will download the service information, including the channel list, to the

CableCARD device. After the CableCARD device has acquired

channels from your cable TV company, the TV tunes to the lowest

available channel.

Removing the

CableCARD Device

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.

2 Pull the CableCARD device straight out of the slot to remove it.

To install a different CableCARD device, follow the instructions in

“Activating CableCARD Service” on page 29.

CAUTION: Inserting the CableCARD device incorrectly may result

in permanent damage to the card and the TV.

z You can also access

information about your

CableCARD device in

the Applications

settings (see page 91).

Once the CableCARD device is removed, your TV will no longer

decrypt digital cable TV programming services that require

CableCARD device.

Setting Up the Channel List

After you finish connecting the TV, you can run the Initial Setup to create a

list of available analog and digital channels. The Initial Setup screen appears

when you turn on the TV for the first time after hooking it up. If you choose

to set up the channels at a later time, select the Auto Program option in the

Channel setting to scan available channels (see below).

Using Initial Setup To run Initial Setup the first time you turn on your TV

1 Press to turn on the TV.

The Initial Setup screen appears.

2 Press V or v to highlight the on-screen

display language. Then press . The

message “First please connect cable

and/or antenna.” appears. This may

require 50+ minutes for completion and

“Start auto program now?” appears.

3 Press V or v to highlight “Yes” then press .

Auto Program performed through Initial Setup will automatically create a

list of receivable channels from both VHF/UHF antenna and cable TV

channels if both sources are connected.

To run Auto Program at a later time

1 Select Settings in WEGA GATE, and then go to Channel settings.

2 Select Auto Program then select Start.

The Initial Setup feature does not apply for installations that use a

cable box for all channel selection.

Auto Program may take a while (20 to 50 minutes) to complete. A

progress bar is displayed while available channels are being

scanned. If you cancel the Auto Program before all receivable

channels are scanned, you may want to perform the task later (see

“To run Auto Program at a later time” below).

If you selected “No” during the Initial Setup, the Initial Setup

message will appear each time you turn on the TV until you

complete the Auto Program as a reminder.

Auto Program will create a list of receivable channels for the

current input (VHF/UHF antenna or CABLE). You will be required to

run Auto Program for each RF input to create a list of available

channels from both inputs.

Sony recommends that you back up any files saved to your USB devices’

internal memory or portable memory device, prior to using the TV’s

Photo/Video Viewer. Sony cannot accept responsibility in the event that

such files are lost or damaged. Be sure to do the following to prevent the

possible loss of your files.

s Power off the TV (power button on the right side panel of the TV or on the

remote control) before connecting or disconnecting the USB device.

s Power off the USB device when switching between like memory devices

(e.g. when switching Memory Sticks cards).

s Power off the USB device when switching between different memory

devices (e.g. when switching between a Memory Stick card and

CompactFlash card, or between a Memory Stick card and the built-in

memory of the USB devices).

For more information about handling USB media, see “Notes on Using USB

Media” on page 68.

The USB interface on your TV will support many Sony digital still cameras

and video camera recorders (camcorders) in the market at the time of sale of

this product. Non-Sony brand cameras and video camera recorders are not

supported due to different implementations of the USB interface.

Non-camera devices are not supported.

Connection of unsupported devices may result in improper function of the TV

or the device itself. Should improper function occur, disconnect the USB

device. Should the TV fail to function properly after the USB device has been

disconnected, unplug the TV, and plug it back in to restore proper function.

Remember to disconnect the USB device when it’s not in use.

Not all products with USB connectors may communicate with each

other due to variations in the manufacturer’s implementation.

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 67,

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).

Only DCF compliant directory and file names can be displayed on this TV

Video

Remote control does not

operate non-Sony video

equipment

❑ If you replaced the batteries to the remote recently, the code numbers for the video

equipment may need to be reset.

❑ There may be more than one code for the equipment that you are attempting to

operate.

❑ There is a possibility that some non-Sony equipment cannot be operated by your

Sony TV remote. You may need to use the equipment’s original remote control.

Problem Possible Remedies

Problems using CableCARD

device or CableCARD services

❑ Check that the CableCARD device is inserted properly (see pages 29-30).

❑ The CableCARD device must be activated by your local cable TV provider before

you can receive digital cable TV services. See the activation instructions on pages

29-30.

❑ Check the Diagnostics and CableCARD setting options (see page 91). (This can

be useful in providing information to an authorized technician or repair person.)

❑ Contact your cable TV provider.

Problem Possible Remedies

No picture (screen not lit), no

sound

❑ If your TV does not turn on and a red light keeps flashing, your TV may need

service. Call your local Sony Service Center.

❑ Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

❑ Press POWER on the right side of the 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 Mode option in the Video setting (see page 71).

❑ Adjust the Brightness option in the Video setting (see page 71).

❑ Check the antenna/cable connections.

No color/dark picture/color is

not correct

❑ Adjust the Color option in the Video setting (see page 71).

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 42).

Dotted lines or stripes ❑ Adjust the antenna.

❑ Move the 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.

“Black box” on screen ❑ You have selected a text option in the Setup setting and no text is available. (See

page 85 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

Tex t1 -4.

Audio

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 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

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 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 setting (see page 72) to

optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

Problem Possible Remedies

Good picture, no sound ❑ Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 42).

❑ Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Audio setting (see page 75).

❑ Make sure the MTS option is set to Stereo or Mono (see page 75).

❑ When the HDMI IN input is in use, surround sound, such as AC-3 and DTS,

cannot be input. Change the sound setting for the external input device to Linear

PCM.

Audio noise ❑ Communication problems may occur if infrared communication equipment (e.g.,

infrared cordless headphones) is used near the TV. 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 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 TV (FUNCTION) once (the TV indicator lights up) and adjust the TV’s

volume.

Sound seems weak or

insufficient

❑ The TV’s audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to

Stereo. In the Audio setting (see page 75), 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 75). Or, to use the TV remote control, set the Audio Out

option to Variable.

❑ To turn on the TV speakers, set the Speaker option to On (see page 75).

❑ Press ANT to select the VHF/UHF input (see page 42).

❑ Use Auto Program in the Channel setting to add receivable channels that are not

presently in the TV’s memory (see page 80).

Cannot receive any channels

when using cable TV

❑ Use Auto Program in the Channel setting to add receivable channels that are not

presently in the TV’s memory (see page 80).

❑ Press ANT to select the CABLE input (see page 42).

Cannot receive or select

channels

❑ Use Auto Program in the Channel setting to add receivable channels that are not

presently in TV memory (see page 80).

Some digital cable channels are

not being displayed

❑ Certain cable companies have limitations on the broadcast of digital cable

channels. Check with your cable company for more information.

❑ The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Channel setting (see page

80).

Problem Possible Remedies

USB device does not work ❑ Check the USB device connection. Most Sony digital still cameras and camcorders

in the market at the time of sale of this product are supported but some may not

work correctly.

❑ Cameras from other manufacturers, non-camera USB devices (printers, USB

readers, etc.) may not work correctly.

Cannot see files in Photo/Video

Viewer

❑ Check Filter and Select Folder settings (see page 67).

❑ The maximum number of files the Photo/Video Viewer can display is 2,000 files in

total, including all JPEG, MPEG1, and MP3 files.

Cannot edit the files ❑ If your digital still camera has an internal memory, you can view the files in the

internal memory but cannot edit them. To edit the files, make a copy to a media

such as Memory Stick in your digital still camera.

Image does not display ❑ Some variations of MPEG1 movies may not play back correctly.

❑ Make sure the image file is a JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) file or an MPEG1 (.mpg, .mpeg)

file.

JPEG image displays

undesirable motion or flicker in

full screen

❑ JPEGs captured using a digital video camera may appear to display motion in full

screen. This is a result of the way digital video cameras record still images, and is

not a result of a malfunction with the TV.

MPEG movie playback is

choppy and progress bar is not

accurate or MPEG1 movie does

not play back correctly

❑ High bit-rate MPEG movies, such as those recorded in high frame rates or high

resolution (such as VX Fine mode), may not play back correctly. To view such

movies, connect a camera or camcorder that supports USB 2.0 connection and

Memory Stick PRO media.

Rotation not saved after USB

device is disconnected or

Photo/Video Viewer is closed

❑ The file might not have information (EXIF data) that is usually generated when a

digital camera records a photo. In this case, it is not possible to save the rotation.

❑ There might be insufficient space on the USB media to save the rotated file. Try

deleting one or more files and rotating the image again.

Cannot show (or hide) file

information in full screen or

Slide Show

❑ Set the File Information option to On or Off (see page 66).

❑ After selecting the file, press the DISPLAY button on the remote control. The file

information will be displayed on the top of the TV screen.

Cannot see menu ❑ Press V to display the menu again.

Cannot hear audio while

using USB device

❑ Check the TV’s volume or Speaker (see page 75) settings.

❑ Check that the Music option is not set to Off (see page 66).

Not all MP3 files on USB media

are included when the Music/

Complete List option is

selected (page 66)

❑ The Photo/Video Viewer can display a maximum of 2,000 files in total, including

all JPEG, MPEG1, and MP3 files.

❑ Make sure that the file is named with the file extension (.mp3).

MP3 files on the USB media are

not listed

❑ Only MP3 files that are named with the file extension (.mp3) are displayed in the

list.

Music files are playing in wrong

order

❑ MP3 files are played in alphabetical order, according to the folder in which they

are stored. If you want to change the playlist order, rename your files

alphabetically in the order in which you want them to play or create a MP3 playlist

(.m3u file) on a PC.

Cannot see MP3 list to play

music

❑ MP3 files on your USB media only can be played as background music during a

Slide Show (page 66).

MPEG1 quality is poor when

enlarged (page 64)

❑ The quality of the movie when played back on the TV depends on the resolution

the movie was shot in, and the connection speed between the USB device and TV

(see above). See your camera’s instruction manual for details.

“No USB device or Media”

error message is displayed

❑ Check the USB device is connected properly.

❑ Check the USB device power is turned on.

❑ Not all USB devices are supported (see page 57).

How to restore Audio settings

to factory settings

❑ Select Reset setting option while in the Audio setting (see page 74).

Cannot cycle through the other

video equipment connected to

the TV

❑ Be sure the Label Video Inputs option is not set to Skip (see page 85).

Cannot operate the setting ❑ If a setting option appears in gray, this indicates that the setting option is not

available.

Lost password ❑ On the password screen (see page 82), enter the following master password:

4357. The master password clears your previous password; it cannot be used to

temporarily unblock channels.

TIMER LED on front panel is

lit

❑ When lit, indicates that the timer is set (see page 90). 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 34, 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.

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.
