Important Safeguards  
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and  
keep this manual for future reference.  
Cleaning  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before  
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid  
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly  
dampened with water for cleaning the exterior  
of the set.  
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and  
instructions placed on the set or described in the operating  
instructions or service manual.  
WARNING  
Installation  
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions  
should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.  
Attachments  
Do not use attachments not recommended by the  
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
Accessories  
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.  
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 Sony for the specific model of TV. No part of  
the TV set should overhang any edge of the TV  
cart or stand; any overhanging edge is a safety  
hazard. 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.  
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.  
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.  
Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or  
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,  
since this can result in fire or electric shock.  
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.  
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.  
Never place the set in a confined space, such  
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless  
proper ventilation is provided.  
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,  
Do not place the set near or over a radiator  
or heat register, or where it is exposed to  
direct sunlight.  
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.

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.  
Service  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified  
service personnel under the following conditions:  
Antennas  
When the power cord or plug  
is damaged or frayed.  
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.  
If liquid has been spilled into  
the set.  
If the set has been exposed to  
rain or water.  
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.  
If the set has been subject to  
excessive shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet has  
been damaged.  
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.  
If the set does not operate  
normally when following the  
operating instructions. Adjust  
only those controls that are  
specified in the operating  
instructions. Improper  
adjustment of other controls  
may result in damage and  
will often require extensive  
work by a qualified technician  
to restore the set to normal operation.  
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC  
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna  
Grounding.  
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it  
indicates a need for service.  
Antenna lead-in wire  
Servicing  
Ground clamp  
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since  
opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to  
qualified service personnel.  
Antenna discharge unit  
(NEC Section 810-20)  
Electrical wire  
equipment  
Ground clamps  
Replacement Parts  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service  
technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts  
specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as  
the original parts.  
Antenna lead-in wire  
Power service grounding electrode  
system (NEC Art 250 Part H)  
NEC: National Electrical Code  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or  
other hazards.  
Lightning  
For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning  
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of  
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.  
This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and  
power-line surges.  
Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the  
set, ask the service technician to perform routine  
safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to  
determine that the set is in safe operating  
condition, and to so certify. When the set reaches  
the end of its useful life, improper disposal could  
result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified  
service technician to dispose of the set.

Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega  
Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega  
The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by  
outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-to-  
corner detail.  
Youll recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost  
immediately. The first thing youll notice is minimal glare from the  
flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves picture detail

doublers, the DRC feature doubles vertical and horizontal lines,  
resulting in four times the density for quality sources such as  
DVD player, Satellite and Digital camcorder.  
Twin View: Using Multi-Image Driver (MIDX), Twin View  
allows you to watch two programs side by side, with the ability  
to zoom in one picture. You can watch pictures from two different  
sources simultaneously.  
16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that  
maximizes picture resolution on anamorphicor enhanced for  
widescreensources, including selected DVDs.  
Velocity Modulation: Vertical line enhancement that sharpens  
picture definition.  
Steady Sound: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent  
output between programs and commercials.

Cable Box  
Connections  
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), so you need to use a cable box.  
With this setup you can:  
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your cable  
box when the signal is scrambled.  
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV  
when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TVs 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 signal is sent to the TV, so you  
cannot use the Twin View feature.)  
Use the Twin View feature normally with the CATV input.  
Use the Twin View feature partially with the cable box. When you

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 TV.  
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one  
unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin  
View feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not,  
consider using the hookup on page 12 instead.

Installing the TV  
Connecting a VCR and Cable Box  
Use this hookup if:  
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of  
them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels), so you need to  
use a cable box, and  
You want to use the Twin View feature.  
With this setup you can:  
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your cable  
box when the signal is scrambled.  
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV  
when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TVs tuner provides a  
better signal than the cable box.)  
Use the Twin View feature.  
Record both regular CATV and scrambled channels.  
To connect a cable box and a VCR, you will need:  
A small, inexpensive device known as a splitter.  
Three coaxial cables.  
Either a combination audio/ video cable, or an S VIDEO cable  
and audio cables.

2
Connect the CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter.  
Use a coaxial cable to connect one of the two output jacks of the  
splitter to the TVs VHF/ UHF jack.  
3
4
5
Use a coaxial cable to connect the other output jack of the splitter  
to the input jack of the cable box.  
Use a coaxial cable to connect the output jack of the cable box to  
the input jack of the VCR.  
Use the video line (yellow) of a combination audio/ video (A/ V)  
cable to connect the video output jack of the VCR to the video  
input jack of the TV.  
If your VCR has an S VIDEO jack, you can substitute an S VIDEO cable for  
the video line of an A/V cable. The S VIDEO cable will provide improved  
video signal quality. (You will need audio cables for sound.)  
Connect the left (white) and right (red) audio output channels of  
the VCR to the respective input channels on the TV.

used to temporarily unblock channels.  
Cannot change channels  
with the remote control  
Be sure you have not inadvertently switched your TV from channel 3 or 4  
setting if you are using another device to change channels.  
If you are using another device to control channels, be sure the function”  
button for that device has been pressed.  
Cannot cycle through the  
other video equipment  
connected to the TV  
Be sure the Video Label feature has not been set to Skip (see page 48).  
There is a black box on the  
screen  
You have selected a text option in the Setup menu and no text is available.  
(See page 47 to reset Setup selections.) To turn this feature off, select OFF in  
the Caption Vision option. If you were trying to get closed captioning,  
select CC1 instead of Text 1-4.  
There is no twin picture  
or it is just static  
Be sure your twin picture is set to a video source/ channel that has a  
program airing.  
You may be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try  
cycling through your video inputs using the TV/VIDEO button.  
Twin View is not set to receive a signal from the AUX input. If you have  
connected a VCR or satellite receiver to the AUX input on the TV, it will not  
show in the right picture.  
I get the same program  
in both Twin View pictures  
Both may be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in either the  
left or right picture.  
You may be running all your channels through a cable box. The cable box  
will only unscramble one signal at a time. If possible, run a direct cable to  
your TVs VHF/ UHF input. (This will only work if your cable system  
provides an unscrambled signal.)  
I cannot get anything but  
TV channels in my left or  
right Twin View picture  
Be sure the video label has not been set to skip your video inputs. See the  
Setup menu on pages 47 and 48.  
If, after reading these operating instructions, you have additional questions related to the use of your Sony  
television, please call our Customer Information Services Center at 1-800-222-SONY (7669) (U.S. residents  
only) or (416) 499-SONY (7669) (Canadian residents only).
