CAUTION
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:
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.
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.
Please see page 72 for instructions on adjusting picture
settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and
keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and
instructions placed on the set or described in the operating
instructions or service manual.

WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.

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.

Cleaning
Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a dry
soft 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 the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV for a long
period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the
projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Installation
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.

Accessories
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.

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.
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.

Ventilation

Lightning

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.

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.

❑

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.

❑

Never place the set in a confined space, such as
a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.

❑

Do not place the set near or over a radiator or
heat register, or where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.

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.

Antennas

Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:

❑

When the power cord or plug
is damaged or frayed.

❑

If liquid has been spilled into
the set.

❑

If the set has been exposed to
rain or water.

❑

If the set has been subject to
excessive shock by being
dropped, or the cabinet has
been damaged.

❑

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.

❑

When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it
indicates a need for service.

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.
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.
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.

Servicing
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.

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.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.

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 Projection TV
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Sony Projection TV. This manual is to
be used with the following models:

Package Contents

❑

KP-57WV600

❑

KP-65WV600

❑

KP-57WV700

❑

KP-65WV700

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:
❑
❑

Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio
broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode.
DRC® (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction V1: Unlike
conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature
replaces the signal’s 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 preview and select programs from a
scrolling index of video pictures.

❑

Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from eight
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.

❑

Uniform Brightness Screen™ (KP-57/65WV700 only): Special
optical technology expands the vertical viewing angle to nearly
double that of other rear projection televisions.

❑

Steady Sound®: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent
output between programs and commercials.

❑

Memory Stick® Picture Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV
screen digital images 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 copyprotected digital connection (HDCP*) to other devices (such as
digital set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. The DVIHDTV input terminal is compliant with the EIA-861 standard
and is not intended for use with personal computers.

component. A fourth component A/V input jack (VIDEO 2) is located on the front
panel of the TV. These video connections provide better picture quality than the
VHF/UHF (9) connections.

4 MONITOR OUT

Lets you record the program you are watching to a VCR. When two VCRs are
connected, you can use the TV as a monitor for tape-to-tape editing (not available
with 480p, 720p, or 1080i when the input is set to VIDEO 5-7).

5 AUDIO OUT (VAR/FIX)
L (MONO)/R

Connects to the left and right audio input jacks of your audio or video equipment.
You can use these outputs to listen to your TV’s audio through your stereo system.

Auxiliary RF input that connects to your antenna, CATV cable, or cable box output
jack. This is convenient if you are using two VHF/UHF sources (antenna, CATV
cable, or cable box). For details, see pages 20 to 23.

8 TO CONVERTER

Connects to your cable box input jack. This VHF/UHF output jack lets you set up
your TV to switch between scrambled channels (coming through a cable box) and
unscrambled cable channels. Use this jack instead of a splitter to get better picture
quality when you need to switch between scrambled and unscrambled cable
channels. For details, see pages 22 to 23.

9 VHF/UHF

Primary RF input that connects to your VHF/UHF antenna or cable.

About Using This Connection with Dual Picture (Twin View, etc.) Features

SETUP

With this connection, you can use all the dual picture features for unscrambled channels
coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.

SETUP

However, you can use only some of the dual picture features for channels coming
through the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. For example, when you switch the TV’s
input to AUX — to select the cable box input — the picture displays only in the left
window. For example, if you turn on Twin View, you can watch cable channels coming
into the VHF/UHF jack in the right window, but you cannot swap the pictures between
the left and right windows.

To connect the cable box and cable

1 Connect the cable from your cable company to the TV’s
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to

analog signal
aspect ratio

A signaling method that uses continuous changes in the amplitude or frequency of an
electronic transmission to convey information.
Refers to the ratio between the width and height of the screen. This TV has a 16:9
(widescreen) aspect ratio, as opposed to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

SETUP

4:3 aspect ratio

component video

16:9 aspect ratio

Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals and one
brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color accuracy than
composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate portions.

composite video

Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color shade
(chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.

digital television (DTV)

A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV provides
higher resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.

National Television System
Committee (NTSC)

A unit of the Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, that establishes
television standards in the United States, such as NTSC Color, the standard used in this TV.

Other Info

SETUP

Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum in which it is possible to radiate
(transmit) electromagnetic waves.

S VIDEO

S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color
(chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution than
composite video, which carries the signals together.

VHF/UHF

VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the radio spectrum from 30 to 300 megahertz. UHF
(Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the radio spectrum from 300 to 3,000 megahertz.

480i

Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first
transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines.

480p

Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits
each line from top to bottom.

720p

Provides 720 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits
each line from top to bottom.

1080i

Provides 1080 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first
transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines. 1080i is one of the
formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).

There is no Twin View
window, or it is just static

❏
❏

Other Info

❏
Twin View cannot display
anything but TV channels

❏

Twin View displays the same ❏
program in both windows

If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on
page 24), you cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable
box can unscramble only one channel at a time. But if you need the cable
box to unscramble only some (usually premium) channels, you can use
Twin View for unscrambled channels if you connect both a cable and cable
box, as shown on page 22.
You can use Twin View to view a signal from a different source that is
connected to the TV's A/V jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the
second window by pressing the TV/VIDEO button while in Twin View.
Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs
display in the left Twin View window, but not the right.
Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a
signal airing.
You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try
cycling through the video inputs by pressing the TV/VIDEO button.
If you connected equipment to the TV’s AUX jack, it will display in the left
Twin View window, but not the right.
Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing the TV/VIDEO button.
Check that the Video Label option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup Menu on
page 84.)
Both Twin View windows might be set to the same channel. Try changing
channels in either window.

Move the TV away from noise sources such as cars, neon signs, or hairdryers.
Using a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable may solve the
problem.
You have selected a text option in the Setup Menu and no text is available.
(See page 83 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 TEXT 1-4.
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).
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 menu (see page 73) to optimize the picture while viewing these
sources.
