Introducing the TV

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing this Sony’s LCD projection TV. This manual is for

models KF-42E200A and KF-50E200A (Canada model only).

Package Contents Along with your new TV, the packing box contains a remote control and two

AA (R6) batteries. See page 74 for the complete list of packaging contents.

Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:

❑WEGA Engine: Delivers superb picture quality from any video source

by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog

conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. This engine features

unique Sony technology, including:

•DRC® (Digital Reality Creation)-MF V1: Unlike conventional

line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature replaces the signal's

NTSC waveform with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping

processing. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of

detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity).

❑Advanced Iris: Automatically detects the brightness of the screen. By

adjusting the iris shutter, this feature can provide you with the best

contrast and brightness from one scene to the next for your TV viewing.

❑MENU: Sony’s unique user interface provides easy access to useful TV

functions such as external inputs (switch among connected

equipments), favorite channels (create a list of your favorite channels),

watch TV or to customize your TV settings.

❑Wide Screen Mode: Allows you to watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in

wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).

❑CineMotion®: Using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the

CineMotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing

back movies or other video sources on film.

❑Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block

unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

❑HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) Inputs: Provide an

uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between this TV and

any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box,

Blu-ray DiscTM player, DVD player, and A/V receiver. Your personal

computer can be connected to this TV with HDMI Input (see page 30).

HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video.

❑Component Video Inputs: Offers a high-quality video for DVD (480p,

480i) and digital set-top box (1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i) connections.

❑S VIDEO Inputs: Provides a high-quality image from connected

equipment.

❑Favorite Channels: Allows you to navigate a list of up to 16 favorite

channels without leaving the current channel.

❑Steady Sound®: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent output

between programs and commercials.

Enjoying Your TV

To enjoy your TV for years to come and maintain its original picture quality,

you should perform periodic maintenance.

Notes on the TV To enjoy clear picture

❑Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly onto the

screen.

❑The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with

sharp or abrasive objects (see “On Contamination on the Screen

Surface” on page 5).

When not using the TV for a long period of time

❑Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using

the TV for more than a week.

When turning off the power

❑The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow

several minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the

breaker off.

On moisture condensation

❑If your TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed

in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the

picture may blur or show poor color. This is caused by moisture

condensation on the lenses inside. Wait a few hours to let the moisture

evaporate before turning on the TV. When the condensation has

evaporated, the picture will return to normal.

Screen To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating.

Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface. Special

care is required.

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.

Indicators

The indicators show the current status of your TV. If there is a change in the

condition or a problem with the TV, the indicators will flash or light up in

the manner described below to let you know that it requires your attention.

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:

❑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).

❑After lamp is replaced, please set the “Lamp Replacement” option in the

Setup Settings (see page 61 and 66).

Connecting the TV

Overview

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and

select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect ratio

(see “Using the WIDE Button” on page 41). It is strongly recommended to

connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum

picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by

radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-

ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

Making Video and

Audio Connections

The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in

the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types

of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of

connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or

satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV,

use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video

performance, as described below.

About Using

S VIDEO

If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack

(shown at left), you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture

quality (compared to an A/V cable). Because S VIDEO carries only

the video signal, you also need to connect audio cables for sound, as

shown below.

Example of an S VIDEO Connection

About Using HDMI

to DVI Adapter

If you are connecting equipment with DVI connector with this TV, you will

need to use an adapter. You can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable or an HDMI

adapter (not supplied). Both are available from your local electronics store.

When you use the adapter, you will also need to use separate audio cables

for sound as DVI connector is for video signals only.

Replacing the Lamp

The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and

functionality, which affects the overall performance of your Television. 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 (the TV will display a message reminding

you to replace the lamp); (2) when the screen becomes dark or the color looks

unusual; or (3) when the LAMP indicator on the front of the TV flashes.

❑

Use a Sony XL-2400 replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement.

Use of any other lamp may damage the 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.

❑

This television's lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of

properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. "The

material contained in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp,

so you should dispose of it in the same way.

How to Replace the

Lamp

1Turn 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.)

2Wait 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.

3Take 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.

screen to go dark.

✍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.

✍If the lamp is not securely reattached, the self-diagnostic

function may be triggered and the POWER indicator flashes

three times (see page 11).

Lamp door

(Continued)

8Reattach the lamp door.

Turn the knob back to CLOSE and secure the cover.

9Put the outside lamp cover back in its place.

10 Select the Lamp Replacement option (MENU > Settings > Setup

menu) and follow the on-screen procedure.

The used lamp

Lamp in this product contains mercury. Disposal of these materials may be

regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling

information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries

Alliance (www.eiae.org).

❑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.

✍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.

Remote Control

Picture

Problem Possible Remedies

Remote control does not

operate

❏The batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries.

❏Check the orientation of the batteries.

❏Press TV (FUNCTION) once, and the TV indicator lights up. You may have

inadvertently pressed SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION), which changes the remote

control to SAT or CABLE mode.

❏Make sure this unit’s power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet.

❏Florescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try turning off

the florescent lamps.

❏Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.

❏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.

Cannot change channels with

the remote control

❏If you are using the TV to change channels, first press TV (FUNCTION) once,

and the TV indicator lights up.

❏If you are using another device to change channels, be sure you have not

inadvertently switched your TV from the channel 3 or 4 setting.

❏If you are using another device to change channels, be sure to press FUNCTION

for that device. For example, if you are using your cable box to change channels,

be sure to press SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION) once, and the SAT/CABLE indicator

lights up.

Remote control does not

operate non-Sony video

equipment

❏If you replaced the batteries to the remote recently, the code numbers 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. You may need to use the equipment’s original remote control.

Problem Possible Remedies

No picture (screen not lit), no

sound

❏If your TV does not turn on and a red light keeps flashing, your TV may need

service. Call your local Sony Service Center.

❏Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

❏Press POWER on the front of the TV.

❏Press TV/VIDEO to cycle through the connected video sources.

❏Try another channel; it could be station trouble.

Sound

Dark, poor or no picture

(screen lit), good sound

❏Adjust the Picture Mode option in the Picture setting (see page 49).

❏Adjust the Brightness option in the Picture setting (see page 50).

❏Check the antenna/cable connections.

No color/dark picture/color is

not correct

❏Adjust the Color option in the Picture setting (see page 50).

Only snow and noise appear on

the screen

❏Check the antenna/cable connections.

❏Try another channel; it could be station trouble.

❏Press ANT to change the input mode (see page 33).

Dotted lines or stripes ❏Adjust the antenna.

❏Move the TV away from noise sources such as cars, neon signs, or hair dryers.

Double images ❏Using a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable may solve the problem.

“Black box” on screen ❏You have selected a text option in the Setup setting and no text is available. (See

page 60 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

Tex t 1 - 4.

Black bands appear at the top

and bottom of the screen

❏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).

Certain programs on DVD or

other digital sources display a

loss of detail, especially during

fast-motion or dark scenes

❏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 setting (see page 51) to

optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

Problem Possible Remedies

Good picture, no sound ❏Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 34).

❏Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Sound setting (see page 53).

❏Make sure the MTS option is set to Stereo or Mono (see page 53).

❏When the HDMI IN input is in use, surround sound, such as AC-3 and DTS,

cannot be input. Change the sound setting for the external input device to Linear

PCM.

Audio noise ❏Make sure that the antenna is connected with 75-ohm coaxial cable.

❏Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords.

❏To avoid TV interference, make sure to use an undamaged antenna cable.

Cannot gain enough volume

when using a cable box

❏Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable box’s remote control. Then

press TV(FUNCTION) once (the TV indicator lights up) and adjust the TV’s

volume.

Sound seems weak or

insufficient

❏The TV’s audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to

Stereo. In the Sound setting (see page 53), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If

already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce background noise

during weak stereo broadcasts).

TV cabinet creaks ❏When the TV is in use, there is a natural rise in temperature, causing the cabinet to

expand or contract and may be accompanied by a slight creaking noise. This is not

a malfunction.

A slight creaking noise occurs

from the bottom part of the TV

❏Advanced Iris applies a mechanical iris system. When Advanced Iris is set, a

natural creaking noise occurs due to the basic structure of the optical unit. The

creaking sound is an inherent nature of this system and is not a defect.

The cooling fan seems to be

louder

❏Dust may be collected around the ventilation fan area blocking the ventilation

holes. Be sure to keep the fan area free from dust.

❏If the TV is used at high altitudes and set to High, the cooling fan runs faster and

its sound becomes louder. If the TV is not used at high altitudes, set Cooling

Mode to Normal (see page 61).

"High Temperature Warning!"

message appears

❏Make sure to remove dust from the ventilation slots on the rear and both sides of

the TV. In addition, make sure that there are no obstacles in front of the ventilation

slots. If the message still appears after the dust or obstacles are removed, the TV

may need servicing. Call your local Sony Service Center.

The TV does not turn on ❏The TV cools down its projection lamp when the power is turned off. It takes up to

two minutes for the picture to come back after the TV is turned on again. Wait for

a while until the picture comes back.

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).

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 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.

“Lamp Replacement message”

appears.

It is time for you to replace the projection lamp used in you TV.

❏Turn to page 66 on “How to Replace the Lamp” and follow the direction on

replacing the lamp.

❏Use only the lamp designated for your TV model.

❏After the lamp is replaced, select the “Lamp Replacement” option then select

“Start” in the Setup menu.

The replacement lamp does not

light up

❏The lamp door or lamp might not be securely attached. Repeat the steps on page

66 to ensure that they are both installed securely.
