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 should still fail 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.
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.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not to be
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.
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy
storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding the cable or
cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV and wait for the
weather to improve.
Memory Stick
To protect small children from injury from Memory Stick Media,
remove all Memory Stick media from the TV’s Memory Stick slot
and store it in a safe location when it is not in use.
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.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Do not place any objects, especially heavy objects,
on top of the set. The object may fall from the set,
causing injury.
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.
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.
Installation
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is
heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can result from
trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady
handling. Install the set on a stable, level surface.
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,
tripod, bracket, 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 TV. Any mounting of the
product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
Disconnect all cables and cords from the set before attempting to
move the set.
Do not allow children or pets to climb up onto, or push against, the
set. The set may fall, causing serious injury.
32_36HS.book Page 2 Friday, February 7, 2003 11:15 AM

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.
❑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
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 provide
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.
Antenna Grounding According to the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
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.
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 or objects have fallen into the

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

Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega
Overview
This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is
shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Wega TV.
Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega
The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by
outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-to-
corner detail.
You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost
immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare
from the flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves
picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens.
The FD Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only at the
screen center, but also at the corners — so you can enjoy a bright,
clear picture from any location in a room.
Package Contents Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a
remote control and two AA (R6) batteries. These items are all you
need to set up and use the TV.
Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
❑DRC® (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction: Unlike
conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature
replaces the signal’s NTSC waveform with the 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.
❑Scrolling Index: Lets you select programs from a series of
preview windows that scroll along the right side of the screen.

SETUP SETUP WelcomeSETUP SETUPSETUP
❑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.)
❑Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from eight
of your favorite channels.
❑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® 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.
❑CineMotion™: Reverse 3-2 pulldown processing provides
optimal picture quality for film-based sources (media originally
shot in 24 frames-per-second format).
❑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.
❑16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that
maximizes picture resolution when playing “anamorphic” or
“enhanced for widescreen” sources, including many DVDs.
❑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.
*High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
16:9 is also referred to as
widescreen format.

For best results, use this connection if:
❑Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium
channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not
scramble all channels.
❑You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 22 and 24.)
With this connection you can:
❑Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through
the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. (You must first program
the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming
the Remote Control” on page 43.)
❑Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly

✍DIGITAL CABLE BOX USERS: Do not use this connection. The TO CONVERTER
jack is not compatible with digital cable boxes.
About Using Twin View with This Connection
With this connection, you can use all the Twin View features for unscrambled channels
coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.
However, you can use only some of the Twin View 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. 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.

Using the Memory Stick Picture Viewer
About Memory
Stick
Memory Stick (sold separately) is a new, compact, portable, and
versatile Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data capacity
that exceeds that of a floppy disk. Memory Stick is specially designed
for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick
compatible products such as digital cameras and digital video
cameras. Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be used for
external data storage.
Memory Stick technology allows you to view on your TV screen
digital (JPEG) images that are stored on Memory Stick media. You
can choose from an index of the images stored on the Memory Stick,
or you can run a slideshow of those images. You can also customize
the features of the slideshow by selecting the length of time that each
image is displayed, toggling the display of file information, and
rotating each image.
For more information about the using Memory Stick media, see
“Notes on Using Memory Stick Media” on page 79.
Supported Image
Ty p e s
This TV’s Memory Stick viewer can display only still images that
have been recorded on Memory Stick media by Sony brand digital
still and video cameras.
Recorded images must also meet the following specifications:
❑Compression format: JPEG
❑File name format: DCF compliant
✍You cannot write to Memory Stick media using the TV.
✍JPEG stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group,” which is the
organization that implemented this format. DCF stands for “Design Rules
for Camera File Systems,” which are specifications established by the Japan
Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA).
✍The TV’s Memory Stick viewer is compatible with Memory Sticks up to and
including 128MB. It is not compatible with Memory Sticks that exceed
128MB.

SETUP SETUP SETUPSETUP SETUPFeatures
About DCF File Names
Most Sony brand digital still and video cameras automatically record
still images using DCF compliant directory and file names, as shown
in the following example:
Cyber-shot Cameras or Sony Brand Digital Camcorders
If you are using a Sony Cyber-shot camera (except models DSC-D700
and DSC-D770) or a Sony digital camcorder with Digital Still
capability (except models DCR-TRV-900 and DSR-PD100A), the
pictures on your Memory Stick are ready to be viewed on your TV.
Mavica Cameras
If you are using a Sony Mavica camera, you can view those pictures
by first using a PC to transfer the image files to a Memory Stick, and
then setting up the files in a DCF compliant file structure as shown
above. (Thumbnails, however, will not be available because Mavica
does not create them. This also means that the Index and Rotate
Picture functions will not work.)
✍Important: If the source of images is not a Sony digital camera, or the
directory/filenames are modified with a computer using non-DCF compliant
software, the images may not be viewable on your TV. If you wish to view a
DCF compliant image imported to your Memory Stick, be sure to use the
same file structure used by Sony cameras (shown above).

To ensure that the
existing/imported JPEG files are
viewable on your TV, be sure to
store and maintain them in the
DCF compliant file structure
shown at right, with the JPEG
files inside the 100MSDCF
directory, and this directory
inside the DCIM main folder.

Glossary
analog signal A signaling method that uses continuous changes in the amplitude or frequency of an
electronic transmission to convey information.
aspect ratio Refers to the ratio between the width and height of the screen. This TV has a 4:3 aspect ratio,
as opposed to a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio.
component video 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.
degauss A process that demagnetizes the metal components in the TV monitor, which eliminates image
distortion that can result from magnetic charges acquired by the TV’s components. Your TV
degausses automatically when it is turned on.
digital television (DTV) A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV provides
clearer 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.
RF Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum that is used to transmit TV and radio
signals.
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 frequency spectrum from 30 to 300 megahertz.
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the frequency 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).

Twin View
Problem Possible Remedies
I cannot get Twin View to
work
❏If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on
page 20), 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 18.
❏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.
There is no Twin View
window, or it is just static
❏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.
Twin View cannot display
anything but TV channels
❏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 75.)
Twin View displays the same
program in both windows
❏Both Twin View windows might be set to the same channel. Try changing
channels in either window.

long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In addition, if you enter into a
service contract with the Sony Partnership within 90 days of the date of sale, the limitation on how long an implied warranty
lasts does not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from
state to state.
