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

❑Clean the cabinet of the SXRD

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 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 SXRD projection TV

for a long period of time, it may be necessary to

clean the inside of the SXRD projection TV. Consult

qualified service personnel.

❑Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit.

If not, it may result in electric shock.

❑Clean the rear cover area of the SXRD projection

Carry the SXRD projection TV in

the specified manner

If you carry the SXRD 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.

❑Carry the SXRD projection TV with the specified

number of persons (see page 30).

❑Detach the speakers before carrying the SXRD

projection TV.

❑Hold the SXRD projection TV tightly when carrying

About the SXRD projection TV

Although the SXRD 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 SXRD screen. This is a structural property of the

SXRD panel and is not a defect.

Installation

❑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 SXRD projection TV.

Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or

direct sunlight.

❑The picture quality may be affected by your viewing

position. Sit at least 8 ft. (approx. 2.4~2.5 m) away

from your SXRD projection TV, and within 76º of

the vertical and 130º of the horizontal viewing area.

If you sit too close to the TV, you may experience

eye strain. For the best picture quality, install your

SXRD projection TV according to “Recommended

Viewing Area” on page 32.

❑When installing your SXRD projection TV against a

wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.

❑Avoid installing the SXRD projection TV near a

heater, etc.

Projection lamp

❑Your SXRD 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 page 20.)

Cooling fan

❑This SXRD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You

may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the

placement of your SXRD projection TV. The noise

may be more noticeable during the night or when the

background noise level is low.

❑When the temperature of the SXRD projection TV

rises, the cooling fan runs faster.

❑Although the SXRD projection TV is switched to

standby mode, the cooling fan continues to run for a

few minutes.

❑When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear

a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is

inherent in this type of lamp.

Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new SXRD projection 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:

●The first step in the digital processing system, Composite

Component Processor (CCP-X), which enhances input signal-to-

noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing.

●DRC (Digital Reality Creation®) MultiFunction 2 circuitry:

Enables the digital mapping of any NTSC source (DVD, VHS,

DBS, Cable, etc.), to create a picture that is precise and finer in

detail, rivaling high definition resolution. Incoming HD signals

(1080i) are also bitmapped, utilizing Sony’s proprietary algorithm

to provide a crisp and clear picture.

●IFP (Image Format Processor): The Digital Texture Enhancer

function of this chip provides the optimal contrast by utilizing a

wide dynamic range. This chip also reduces signal noise, by using

an improved motion vector algorithm, while maintaining image

sharpness.

❑Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and

enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.

❑SXRD: SXRD is a Silicon X-tal Reflective Display technology which

delivers high-level resolution, greater contrast ratio, faster response

speed and film-like reproduction compared to other conventional

devices.

❑S-master Full Digital Amplifier: Delivers superb clear dialog and

reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound

fragmentation or jitter noise.

❑Cinema Black Pro: Using the improved optical unit technology,

Cinema Black Pro enables you to view images with the deeper contrast.

❑BN Smoother™: Reduces the block noise caused by digital video

encoding and decoding process.

❑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.

❑Twin View®: Twin View allows you to watch two programs side by side

with the ability to zoom in on one picture and listen to the program in

the selected window. You can watch pictures from two different sources

(1080i, 720p, 480p or 480i) simultaneously.

Enjoying Your SXRD Projection TV

Indicators

The indicators show the current status of your SXRD projection TV.

Screen

To minimize reflection, the screen’s surface has a special coating. Read the

instructions “Cleaning the Screen Surface” on page 17 carefully before

cleaning. Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen’s finish.

Detachable speakers (left/right)

The left and right speakers output audio signal. The speakers are packed

separately in the packing box. For details on how to attach the speakers to

the TV, see page 18.

Projection lamp

Your SXRD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. The

projection lamp is located under the Front Panel Cover as noted in the

diagram above. Note the following:

❑The SXRD projection 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. The POWER/STANDBY LED

blinks in green while the picture is coming up.

❑When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the

lamp with a new Sony XL-5000 replacement lamp (not supplied).

✍After replacing the lamp, be sure to attach the lamp cover securely;

otherwise, your SXRD projection TV will not turn on. For details on lamp

replacement, see “Replacing the Lamp” on page 20.

✍The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your SXRD

projection TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look

into the housing when the power is on.

✍The projection lamp is a consumable product that wears out after use for

a certain period of time. When the lamp wears out, replace it with a new

one so that you can enjoy the original quality of the SXRD picture again.

Notes on the SXRD

Projection TV

To enjoy clear pictures

❑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 a

sharp or abrasive object (see “Cleaning the Screen Surface” below).

On moisture condensation

❑If your SXRD projection TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm

location, 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. If this happens, leave the

power on to help the moisture evaporate. When the condensation has

evaporated, the picture of your SXRD projection TV will return to

normal.

When not using the SXRD Projection TV for a long period of time

❑Turn off the main power on the front of your SXRD projection TV

before going to sleep or going out. Unplug the AC power cord from the

outlet if you anticipate not using the SXRD projection TV for more than

a week.

When turning off the power

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

minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the breaker off.

Before carrying the SXRD Projection TV

❑Before carrying, unplug the power cord and disconnect all cables.

See page 30 for instructions on how to carry your SXRD projection TV.

❑Be sure to first remove the speakers before moving your SXRD

projection TV.

Cleaning the Screen

Surface

To remove dust from the front of the screen, wipe with the supplied cleaning

cloth.

✍Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder,

Making Video

Connections

Your TV includes several types of video inputs. When connecting your TV,

use the inputs that are available on your components that provide the best

video performance, as described below.

About Using

SVIDEO

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.

Using CableCARD

CableCARD provides cable subscribers with access to digitally encrypted

cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that will enable you

to receive not only standard definition but also high definition television. The

CableCARD, which is provided by your cable TV company, is inserted into

the TV’s rear panel CableCARD slot. After the service is activated with your

cable TV company, the card replaces the need for a separate set-top box.

Activating

CableCARD Service

Before you can use CableCARD service, you need to insert the CableCARD

(supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as described

below:

1Insert the CableCARD into the TV’s CableCARD slot.

About Using CableCARD

If you are planning to use a separate cable box for digital cable TV services, you may be able to receive

programming using this TV with the CableCARD instead — except in the following circumstances:

❑Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD service in your viewing area.

❑You want to access your cable TV company’s interactive or advanced features (such as video-on-

demand or, in some cases, pay-per-view). At this time, these services require a bidirectional link,

which are only available through the use of a separate set-top box. CableCARD is currently a

unidirectional device only, and cannot provide these advanced services.

Check with your cable TV company for CableCARD service details, limitations, pricing, and

availability, all of which are determined by your cable TV company — not Sony.

✍CAUTION: Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result in permanent

damage to the card and the TV.

Setting Up the SXRD Projection TV

SXRD

2-584-141-12(1)

2Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place.

3After 1-2 minutes, the CableCARD setup screen is automatically

displayed. This screen includes information your cable TV company

will request before they can activate your service.

4Follow the displayed instructions: Phone your cable TV company. A

representative will guide you through the activation process.

5After your CableCARD is activated, your cable TV company will

download the service information, including the channel list, to the

CableCARD. After the CableCARD has acquired channels from your

cable TV company, the TV tunes to the lowest available channel.

Removing the

CableCARD

In the event you want to cancel your service, contact your cable TV

company.

1Push the eject button on the TV’s CableCARD slot to release the card.

2Pull the CableCARD straight out of the slot to remove it.

To install a different CableCARD, follow the instructions in “Activating

CableCARD Service” on page 58.

You can also access

information about your

CableCARD in the

Applications Menu (see

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 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.

The Memory Stick Viewer on your SXRD projection TV allows you to view

files that are stored on Memory Stick media. You can view:

❑Digital photos (JPEG files)

❑Movies (MPEG1 files)

You can also play slide show background music using MP3 files stored on

your Memory Stick.

For more information about handling Memory Stick media, see “Notes on

Using Memory Stick Media” on page 96.

Features With the Memory Stick Viewer, you can:

❑View photo (JPEG) and movie (MPEG1) files in a thumbnail index or

Slide Show

❑Set customized Slide Show options, including transitions and

background audio

❑Pan, zoom, and rotate photos

❑Mark photos and set quantities of prints to be output when the Memory

Stick is inserted into your photo printer (not supplied)

❑Lock (protect) or delete files on the Memory Stick

Memory Stick

Compatibility

This television is compatible with the following Sony brand Memory Stick

media types:

❑Memory Stick Media

❑Memory Stick Duo and PRO Duo Media (can be used without the

Memory Stick adaptor)

❑Memory Stick Media with Memory Select Function

❑Memory Stick PRO Media

About Memory Stick PRO Media

Memory Stick PRO media features vary by and are dependent upon the

design of host hardware devices. Memory Stick PRO in this SXRD

projection TV has been tested to support up to 1 GB media capacity and does

not support high-speed transfer, MagicGate copyright protection technology,

or access control security features.

Memory Stick

Functionality

Sony cannot guarantee or assure the Memory Stick functionality on this

television in the following cases:

❑You are using non-Sony brand Memory Stick media.

❑You are using video or audio clips that have been processed on a

computer.

❑You are using files that were obtained from the Internet or from a printed

film processing center.

❑The Memory Stick has been formatted on a personal computer.

Sony recommends that you back up all data stored on Memory Stick media

to avoid potential data loss. In the above two cases, in order to avoid

potential data corruption that may occur, be sure to back up data prior to use

with the TV’s Memory Stick Viewer. Sony cannot accept responsibility in

the event that data recorded to Memory Stick media is lost or damaged. For

certain non-Sony brand Memory Stick media, you can view images, but you

cannot rotate, delete or protect/unprotect images on the television. An error

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 SXRD projection

TV has a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio, as opposed to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

CableCARD The PCMIA shaped card provided by your cable TV company which descrambles the

digitally encrypted cable channels. You should check with your local cable TV

company about CableCARD service.

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.

digital television (DTV) A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV

provides higher resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.

HDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface)

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

HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and

A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus two-channel

digital audio.

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 SXRD projection 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 SXRD projection 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 SXRD projection TV screen and then the even

lines. 1080i is one of the formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).

Memory Stick

Problem Possible Remedies

Image does not display/Cannot

see all files

❏Some variations of MPEG1 movies may not play back correctly.

❏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 page 84).

❏Check the Filter option setting (see page 95).

page 122 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 SXRD projection 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

SXRD projection 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

SXRD projection 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 110) to optimize the picture while viewing these

sources.

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

❏Cinema Black Pro applies a mechanical iris system. When Cinema Black Pro

is turned On/Off, 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 is loud ❏If the SXRD projection TV is used at high altitudes and High Altitude is set to

On, the cooling fan runs faster and its sound becomes louder. If the TV is not

used at high altitudes, set High Altitude to Off (see page 123).

The signal from a selected

i.LINK device is not being

displayed

❏If you have several i.LINK devices connected and operating at once, the TV may

not be able to display the signal from the selected device. Turn the other i.LINK

devices off, and reselect the desired i.LINK device.

❏If you are using a digital VCR, turn off any Auto LINC functionality of the VCR.

For details, see the digital VCR’s user manual.

The TV does not turn on ❏The SXRD projection 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
