Avoid operating the LCD projection TV at temperatures  
below 5ºC.  
If the LCD projection TV is transported directly from a  
cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has  
changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show  
poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the  
mirror or lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture  
evaporate before using the LCD projection TV.  
If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the  
screen, part of the screen may appear white due to  
reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural  
property of the LCD projection TV.  
Safety Information  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the LCD  
projection TV to rain or moisture.  
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the LCD  
projection TV. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to  
qualified personnel only.  
For general safety:  
Do not expose the LCD projection  
TV to rain or moisture.  
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.  
Do not install the appliance in a  
confined space, such as a bookcase  
or built-in cabinet.  
Do not open the rear cover.  
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 the manufacturer for the specific  
model of LCD projection TV. 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.  
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.  
For safe installation:  
Never cover the slots and openings with  
a cloth or other materials.  
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it  
indicates a need for service.  
Do not block the ventilation openings.  
Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for  
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,  
swimming pool, etc.  
For safe operations:  
Do not operate the LCD projection TV on anything but  
220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.  
Do not install the LCD projection TV in hot, humid or  
excessively dusty places.  
Do not operate the LCD projection  
TV if any liquid or solid object  
falls in it — have it checked  
immediately.  
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.  
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.  
Do not install the LCD  
projection TV where it may  
be exposed to mechanical  
vibrations.

the power cord.  
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 a  
solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong  
solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If picture  
brightness decreases over time, it may be necessary to  
clean the inside of the LCD projection TV. Consult  
qualified service personnel.  
Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. If not,  
it may result in electric shock.  
Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with  
sharp or abrasive items, like a ball point pen or a screw  
driver. This type of contact may result in a scratched  
screen.  
Do not place any objects on  
the LCD projection TV. The  
apparatus shall not be  
exposed to dripping or  
splashing and that no objects  
filled with liquids, such as  
vases, shall be placed on the  
apparatus.  
To prevent fire, keep  
inflammable objects or naked lights (e.g. candles) away  
from the LCD projection TV.  
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, particularly when being turned on or off.  
Give careful consideration to the environment when  
disposing of batteries.  
About the LCD projection TV  
Although the LCD projection TV is made with high-  
precision technology, black dots may appear or bright  
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly  
on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and  
is not a malfunction.  
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 retained image.  
Carry the LCD projection TV in the specified manner  
If you carry the LCD 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.  
About the AC power cord  
The shape of AC plug varies, depending on the regions.  
Carry the LCD projection TV with  
the specified number of persons (see  
page 12).  
Do not carry the LCD projection TV  
holding the speaker grill.  
Hold the LCD projection TV tightly when carrying it.

Projection lamp  
Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its  
light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one  
(not supplied) when:  
– the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks  
in red,  
– screen images become dark,  
– no image appears on the display after prolonged use.  
In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit,  
but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass  
pieces inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the lamp” on  
When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a  
noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this  
type of lamp.  
This television’s lamp contains mercury and should be  
disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities  
regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use,  
a small amount of mercury may be released. In this  
situation, move away from the product and ventilate the  
area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you  
feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.  
Cooling fan  
This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear  
some fan noise (depending on the placement of the LCD  
projection TV), which may be more noticeable during the  
night, or when ambient noise is particularly low.

Projection Lamp  
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As  
with any lamp, it has lifespan and needs to be replaced  
when the lamp indicator flashes or the screen becomes  
darker.  
Notes  
After turning on your TV, it may take a while (1 minute or  
less) before the picture appears.  
When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark.  
Replace the lamp with a new Sony XL-2400 replacement  
lamp (not supplied). How to replace the lamp, see page 48.  
Warning  
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.

Additional Information  
1 Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait  
several minutes, then unplug the power  
cord.  
Replacing the lamp  
The projection lamp, which illuminates the picture,  
has a limited life.  
(The cooling fan will continue to blow for  
about two minutes after turning the power  
off.)  
If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or  
the LAMP indicator on the front of the LCD  
projection TV flashes, it is time to replace the lamp  
with a new one (not supplied).  
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 receptable  
once the lamp has been removed.  
This television uses a replaceable lamp as its light  
source. Over time, the screen will gradually grow  
darker as the lamp ages. Although rare, the lamp may  
make a small pop and will no longer light up. The  
lamp should be replaced after about 8,000 hours,  
which is the standard amount of time it takes for the  
lamp brightness to be reduced by half. Because the  
actual lamp life will vary depending on the operating  
conditions and environment, 8,000 hours is an  
estimate, not a guarantee.  
3 Take the new lamp out of the box.  
Do not touch the glass portion of the new  
lamp.  
Notes  
Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the  
lamp or shorten its life.  
WARNING  
Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the  
glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture  
quality or lamp life.  
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature,  
resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions  
below.  
4 Remove the outside lamp cover.  
Use a Sony XL-2400 replacement lamp (not supplied) for  
replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the LCD  
projection TV.  
Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than  
replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.  
Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside  
the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp.  
Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch  
the lamp receptable once the lamp has been removed.  
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.  
5 Remove the lamp door.  
Turn the knob counterclockwise to OPEN and pull  
out the cover.  
CAUTION  
Disposing of the lamp  
Lamp door  
This product contains mercury. For disposal or  
recycling information, please contact your local  
authorities.  
Handling of the lamp  
• Do not leave the used lamp near flammable  
materials or within the reach of children.  
• Do not pour water onto the used lamp or put any  
object inside the lamp. Doing so may cause the  
lamp to burst.  
GB

6 Pull out the lamp.  
9 Put the outside lamp cover back in its  
place.  
Hook a finger through the loop of the lamp handle  
and pull the handle upwards. Then pull the lamp  
straight out.  
Notes  
Consult your Sony dealer for a Sony XL-2400  
replacement lamp.  
Take great care when replacing the lamp or plugging  
in/unplugging the connecting cords. Rough handling  
may cause the TV to fall, damaging the TV, the TV  
stand and the floor.  
Notes  
The lamp is very hot immediately after use. Never  
touch the glass portion of the lamp or the surrounding  
parts.  
After the used lamp has cooled, place it into the empty  
box of the replacement lamp. Never put the used lamp  
into a plastic bag.  
7 Put the new lamp into its place.  
Mount the new lamp securely. Failure to do so  
may cause a fire or the screen to go dark.  
Note  
If the lamp is not securely reattached, the self-diagnostic  
function may be triggered and the \ 1 indicator flashes  
three times (see page 10).  
8 Reattach the lamp door.  
Turn the knob back to CLOSE and secure the  
cover.

been set correctly to VCR or DVD, enter the necessary code set as explained  
• Replace the batteries.  
• If the “High Temperature Warning!” message appears, turn off the TV and  
wait until the TV’s projection lamp cools down (approximately 5 minutes).  
If the remote control still does not work, make sure to dust the ventilation  
slots on the rear of the TV and the cooling fan to provide adequate  
ventilation around the TV.  
The LAMP indicator blinks in  
red  
• Replace the lamp (see page 48).  
The TV does not turn on

• The antenna connection is loose or the antenna cable is damaged. Check the  
cable and connection on the TV, VCR, and on the wall (page 14).  
• The antenna direction needs adjustment. Adjust the antenna direction.  
Contact a Sony dealer for advice.  
• Signal transmission is too low. Try using a booster. Otherwise, use the fine  
tuning (“Fine”) function (page 35).  
Cannot play shooting games  
The TV cabinet creaks  
• Some shooting games which involve pointing a light beam at the TV screen  
with an electronic gun or rifle cannot be used with your TV. For details, see  
the instruction manual supplied with the video game software.

handles or car doors especially when the air is dry, for example in winter.  
This does not indicate a malfunction.
