and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference with radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
❑Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
❑Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
❑Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
❑Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Safety
❑Operate the projection TV only on 120 V AC.
❑The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall
outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.
❑If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet,
unplug the projection TV immediately and have it checked
by qualified service personnel before operating it further.
❑If you will not be using the projection TV for several days,
disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on
the cord.
❑For details concerning safety precautions, see “Important
Safety Instructions” on page 3.

❑Do not install the projection TV in a hot or humid place, or in
a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
❑Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures below 5°C
(41°F).
❑If the projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a
warm location, or if the room temperature changes suddenly,
the picture may be blurred or show poor color due to
moisture condensation. In this case, please wait a few hours
to let the moisture evaporate before turning on the projection
TV.
❑To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to direct
illumination or direct sunlight. It is recommended to use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling or to cover the
windows that face the screen with opaque drapery. It is
desirable to install the projection TV in a room where the
floor and walls are not of a reflective material.

Introducing the Digital Projection TV
Welcome
This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is
shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Digital
Projection TV.
Package Contents 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:
❑Built-in Digital Television Receiver: You can watch digital
television programs and enjoy the improved audio/video quality
offered by these programs.
❑Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio
broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode.
❑High Definition Signal Reception: Watch TV signals broadcast
in HDTV for the clearest possible broadcast picture.
❑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 select programs from a series of
preview windows that scroll along the right side of the screen.
❑Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from
sixteen of your favorite channels.

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.)
❑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® Viewer: Lets you watch digital photo (JPEG) and
movie (MPEG1) files 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 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.
❑i.LINK: Provides a secure digital interface to other digital home
entertainment devices. i.LINK allows for the secure transfer of
copyright-protected high-definition content between these
devices and your digital projection television.

Programming the Remote Control
The remote control is preset to operate Sony brand video equipment.
If you have video equipment other than Sony brand that you want to
control with the TV’s remote control, use the following procedure to
program the remote control.
1Turn to the list of “Manufacturer’s Codes” on page 50, and find
the three-digit code number for the manufacturer of your
equipment. (If more than one code number is listed, use the
number listed first.)
2Open the remote control and set the A/V slide switch to i.LINK/AV1,
AV2, AV3, or DVD. Then close the remote control.
3Press CODE SET.
4Enter the three-digit manufacturer’s code number.
5Press ENTER.
6To check if the code number works, aim the TV’s remote control
at the equipment and press the POWER button that corresponds
with that equipment. If it responds, you are done. If not, try using
another code listed for that manufacturer.
Notes
❑If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by
one until you come to the correct code for your equipment.
❑If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously
entered at that setting is erased.
❑In some cases, you may not be able to operate your equipment
with the supplied remote control. In such cases, use the
equipment’s own remote control unit.
❑Whenever you remove the batteries to replace them, the code
numbers may revert to the factory setting and must be reset.

page 22), 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 21.
❏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 CABLE, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs,
as well as digital sources, 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.
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 104.)
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.

Memory Stick
Problem Possible Remedies
Image does not
display/Cannot see all files
❏Make sure the image file is a JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) file or an MPEG1 (.mpg,
mpeg) file.
❏Make sure the Memory Stick is inserted properly (see pages 69-70).
❏Check the Filter option setting (see page 80).
❏Check the Select Contents setting (see page 80) and ensure that files are either
in DCF directories if Digital Camera Folders is selected (see page 80), or in the
currently selected folder if Select a Folder is selected (see page 80).
❏The maximum number of files the Memory Stick Viewer can display is
1,024.
❏If you are using a Memory Stick with the Memory Select function, try
changing the position of the A/B select switch.
JPEG image displays
undesirable motion or flicker
in full screen
❏JPEGs captured using a digital video camera may appear to display motion
in full screen. This is a result of the way digital video cameras record still
images, and is not a result of a malfunction with the TV.
Rotation not saved after
Memory Stick is ejected or
Memory Stick Viewer is
closed
❏The Memory Stick might be locked. Unlock the Memory Stick and try
rotating the image again.
❏The file might not have information (EXIF data) that is usually generated
when a digital camera records a photo. In this case, it is not possible to save
the rotation.
❏There might be insufficient space on the Memory Stick to save the rotated
file. Try deleting one or more files and rotating the image again.
Cannot show (or hide) file
information in full screen or
Slide Show
❏Set the File/Information option to On or Off (see pages 75 and 78).
Cannot see menu ❏Move the joystick V to display the menu again.
Cannot hear audio while

❏To hear JPEG voice memo, select the Digital Camera Folders option and set the
Filter option to Show All.
❏Check that the Music option is not to set to Off (see page 79).
Not all MP3 files on Memory
Stick are included when the
Music /Complete List option is
selected (page 79)
❏The maximum number of MP3 files the Memory Stick Viewer can display
is 128.
❏Make sure that the file is named with the file extension (.mp3).
MPEG1 movie does not
play back correctly
❏Some variations of MPEG1 movies may not be compatible with the
Memory Stick Viewer.
MPEG1 quality is poor when
enlarged (page 77)
❏The quality of the movie when enlarged depends on the resolution of the
MPEG1 file. See your camera’s instruction manual for details.
MP3 files on the Memory
Stick are not listed
❏Only MP3 files that are named with the file extension (.mp3) are displayed
in the list.
Music files are playing in
wrong order
❏MP3 files are played in alphabetical order, according to the folder in which
they are stored. If you want to change the playlist order, rename your files
alphabetically in the order in which you want them to play.
Cannot see MP3 list to play

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

Double images or ghosts ❏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 Menu and no text is available.
(See page 103 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.
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 menu (see page 93) to optimize the picture while viewing these
sources.
