Owner’s Record  
CAUTION  
The model and serial numbers are located at the rear of the  
projection TV, below the Sony logo, on the sticker, and also on the  
TV box (white label). Record these numbers in the spaces provided  
below. Refer to them whenever you call upon your Sony dealer  
regarding this product.  
How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your  
Projection TV  
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed  
on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV,  
resulting in retention of the image in the picture. Please  
take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image  
retention:  
Model No.  
Serial No.  
View a variety of program sources or programming  
material.  
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images  
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program  
material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image  
will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this  
apparatus to rain or moisture.  
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the  
picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness”  
levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher  
“Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
Please see page 92 for instructions on adjusting picture  
settings.  
ATTENTION  
RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE,  
NE PAS OUVRIR  
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image  
retention.  
PRECAUCION  
RIESGO DE CHOQUE ELECTRICO  
NO ABRIR  
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY  
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.  
Do not expose the TV to dripping or splashing. Avoid placing  
liquid-filled objects, such as vases, on top of the TV.  
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 Video games, computers, and similar products  
with your projection TV, or viewing a TV station whose logo  
always stays on the screen, keep the brightness and picture  
functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern  
such as a station logo is left on the screen for long periods  
of time, especially at a high brightness or picture setting,  
the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen.  
These types of imprints are known as image retention.

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.  
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 Adjusting the Convergence  
Automatically (Flash Focus)on page 42.

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.  
If you carry the projection TV in a manner other than the specified  
manner and without the specified number of persons, it may drop  
and a serious injury may be caused. Be sure to follow the  
instructions mentioned below.  
Carry the projection TV with the specified number of persons  
(see Carrying Your Projection TVon page 12).

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 temperatures below 5°C  
(41°F).  
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 due to

Introducing the Digital Projection TV  
Welcome  
This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is  
shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Digital  
Projection TV.  
Package Contents  
Along with your new projection TV, the package contains a remote  
control and two AA batteries. No additional cables are included.  
These items are all you need to set up and operate the projection TV  
in its basic configuration.  
Most components (VCRs, DVD players, etc.) come with the necessary  
cables to connect them. If you want to set up a complex system, you  
may need to buy extra cables, connectors, etc. Be sure to have these  
on hand before you start to connect your system.  
Features  
Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:  
Built-in Digital Television Receiver: You can watch digital  
television programs and enjoy the improved audio/video quality  
offered by these programs.  
Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio  
broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode.  
High Definition Signal Reception: Watch TV signals broadcast  
in HDTV for the clearest possible broadcast picture.  
®
DRC (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction V1: Unlike  
conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature  
replaces the signals NTSC waveform with the near-HD  
equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal  
lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources,  
such as DVD, satellite, and digital camcorders. The Video Menu  
allows you to select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion™  
output. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of  
detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three  
custom palettes.  
Scrolling Index: Lets you select programs from a series of  
preview windows that scroll along the right side of the screen.  
Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from  
sixteen of your favorite channels.

Twin View : Using the 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 (1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i) simultaneously. (Only the  
left Twin View window can display 1080i, 720p, and 480p  
sources.)  
ClearEdge VM Velocity Modulation: Sharpens picture  
definition by enhancing vertical lines.  
®
Steady Sound : Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent  
output between programs and commercials.  
®
Memory Stick Viewer: Lets you watch digital photo (JPEG) and  
movie (MPEG1) files that are stored on Memory Stick media.  
Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD  
(480p, 480i), and digital set-top box (HD1080i, 720p) connections.  
HD Detailer : Wideband video amplifier has a high bandwidth  
frequency rating, which allows it to send more video information  
to the screen, resulting in finer picture quality, especially for HD  
sources.  
CineMotion : Reverse 3-2 pulldown processing provides  
optimal picture quality for film-based sources (media originally  
shot in 24 frames-per-second format).  
Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block  
unsuitable programming from younger viewers.  
Digital Visual Interface (DVI): Can accommodate a copy-  
*
protected digital connection (HDCP ) to other devices (such as  
digital set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. The DVI-  
HDTV input terminal is compliant with the EIA-861 standard  
and is not intended for use with personal computers.  
i.LINK: Provides a secure digital interface to other digital home  
entertainment devices. i.LINK allows for the secure transfer of  
copyright-protected high-definition content between these  
devices and your digital projection television.  
*High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
