					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.   
					8) Do not install near any heat sources   
					such as radiators, heat registers,   
					stoves, or other apparatus (including   
					amplifiers) that produce heat.   
					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.   
					9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of   
					the polarized or grounding-type   
					plug. A polarized plug has two   
					blades with one wider than the other.   
					A grounding type plug has two   
					blades and a third grounding prong.   
					The wide blade or the third prong are   
					provided for your safety. If the   
					provided plug does not fit into your   
					outlet, consult an electrician for   
					replacement of the obsolete outlet.   
					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.

				Welcome to the World of BRAVIA™   
					Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA™ high-definition television. The quality of the image   
					you see on your BRAVIA TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience   
					the full detail of your new BRAVIA TV, you need access to HD programming. Your BRAVIA TV can   
					receive and display HD programming from:   
					• Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna   
					• HD cable subscription   
					• HD satellite subscription   
					• Blu-ray Disc™ Player or other external equipment   
					Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.   
					To learn more about HDTV, visit: http://www.sony.com/HDTV   
					The Four Steps to Full HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source, and Setup   
					Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a   
					source of HD programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup   
					
					connect other optional equipment.   
					Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio   
					You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD   
					signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice   
					a big difference. The 1080 HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the   
					standard TV signal.   
					High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the   
					width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standard-   
					definition TV.   
					16:9 (high-definition) source   
					Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio   
					of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen and   
					maintains a crisp, clear, vivid picture.   
					4:3 (standard-definition) source   
					Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3   
					aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an   
					HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The   
					picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD   
					sources.   
					~ 
					• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 22, 35

				Screen   
					Speaker Grille   
					To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a   
					special coating.   
					Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the   
					screen surface. Special care is required.   
					You can replace the speaker grille with another   
					grille, sold separately. Only remove the speaker   
					grille when replacing it. For details, see the   
					instructions supplied with the speaker grille.   
					Cleaning the Screen Surface   
					Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture   
					quality. To dust off the screen use a soft cloth. Be   
					sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 5   
					for stubborn stains and dirt.   
					Temporary Image Retention   
					When high contrast non-moving images such as   
					station logos and channel numbers are displayed   
					for a long period of time, there may be some image   
					retention on the screen. This is only a temporary   
					condition. Turning off the power for a while or   
					letting the TV run on another channel will   
					eliminate the image retention.   
					Projection Lamp   
					Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source.   
					As with any lamp, it has a lifespan and needs to be   
					replaced when the Lamp Indicator flashes or the   
					screen becomes darker. Your TV also has a   
					function to display a message, “Projection lamp is   
					nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” to let   
					you know that the lamp has reached its expected   
					lifespan. Note the following:   
					s 
					After turning on your TV, it may take a while   
					(one minute or less) before the picture   
					appears.   
					s 
					When the projection lamp wears out, the   
					screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a   
					new Sony XL-5200 replacement lamp (not   
					supplied).   
					s 
					After lamp is replaced, please set the Lamp   
					Replacement option in the General   
					
					
					~ 
					• The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when   
					your TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury,   
					do not look into the light housing when the power is   
					on.

					Replacing the Lamp   
					How to Replace the Lamp   
					The projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually   
					lose brightness and functionality, which affects the   
					overall performance of your TV. How long the   
					lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending   
					upon your usage and environmental conditions. To   
					maintain the quality of your viewing experience,   
					Sony recommends that you replace the lamp (1)   
					after approximately 8,000 hours of use; (2) when   
					the screen becomes dark or the color looks   
					1 
					Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait   
					several minutes, then unplug the power cord.   
					(The cooling fan will continue to operate for   
					about two minutes after turning the power   
					off.)   
					2 
					Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the   
					power cord to allow the lamp to cool down   
					before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do   
					not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp   
					has been removed.   
					unusual; (3) when the LAMP LED on the front of   
					the TV blinks; or (4) when the lamp replacement   
					message appears on the TV screen.

					Take the new lamp out of the box.   
					Do not touch the glass portion of the new   
					lamp.   
					WARNING   
					Electric appliances can cause fire or high   
					temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be   
					sure to follow the instructions below.   
					~ 
					• Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp   
					or shorten its life.   
					• Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the   
					glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture   
					quality or lamp life.

					When the lamp eventually burns out, you may   
					hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal   
					and it is inherent to this type of lamp.   
					In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the   
					lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to   
					contain all of the broken glass pieces inside   
					the lamp unit.

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

					Image left on the screen   
					(image retention)   
					• Turn off the TV for a while or let the TV run on another channel. Unlike plasma   
					TV and CRT TV, image retention on this TV is not permanent. It is only a   
					temporary condition (see page 10).   
					Green tint or uneven color   
					uniformity appears on the   
					screen when the TV is   
					powered on   
					• After turning on the TV, you may notice a green tint or slight variation in color   
					and brightness in certain areas of the picture. This will last only a few minutes   
					(possibly longer, in cooler rooms or conditions) while circuits within the TV   
					continually fine tune the color during the warm-up period. This is a normal   
					temperature characteristic of the components and not a malfunction.   
					White spot on the screen   
					when powered off   
					• If screen is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ambient light, part of the screen   
					may appear white even when TV is power off. This is due to the strong light   
					reflecting off the TV screen and reflections coming from behind the screen.   
					This is a structural property of the projection TV and is not a defect.   
					• Position your TV away from such light sources.
