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:

●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.

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

reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound

fragmentation or jitter noise.

❑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.

❑Memory Stick Viewer: Allows you to view digital photos (JPEG) and

movies (MPEG1) from Memory Stick media on your TV screen.

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

unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

❑CableCARD™ slot: 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

Introducing the Sony LCD TV

KDX-46Q005

2-592-150-12(2)

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. (Check with your cable TV

company about CableCARD service details, limitations, pricing, and

availability. For more information about CableCARD in this manual,

see page 57.)

❑Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality 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 Channel Preview: Allows you to preview up to sixteen

favorite channels without leaving the current channel.

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

wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).

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

between programs and commercials.

❑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.

❑i.LINK: Provides a secure digital interface to other digital home

entertainment devices. i.LINK allows for the secure transfer of

your TV.

❑Light Sensor: Allows the picture brightness level to be optimized to

ambient light. The effect from the Light Sensor depends on the setting

of Picture Mode and Power Saving. The factory setting is Off.

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

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.

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:

1First remove the dummy card by pushing the eject button (see

“Removing the CableCARD” on page 58).

2Insert 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.

✍If you remove the dummy card without pushing the eject button, the

CableCARD cannot be inserted. In that case, insert the dummy card again,

remove it by pushing the eject button, and then insert the CableCARD.

representative will guide you through the activation process.

6After 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 57.

✍CAUTION: Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result in permanent

damage to the card and the TV.

You can also access

information about your

CableCARD in the

Applications Menu (see

page 131).

✍Once the CableCARD is removed, your TV will no longer decrypt digital

cable TV programming services that require CableCARD.

Factors Affecting Twin View

❑If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in

both windows because the cable box unscrambles and sends only one

channel at a time. (To view the picture in dual picture features such as

Twin View, Freeze, etc., see “Cable Box and Antenna” on page 33.)

❑If you use a cable box and other video equipment, you can view the

cable box output in one window and view a different source (such as a

VCR or DVD player) in the second window by using the TV/VIDEO

button.

❑Digital TV channels, as well as any sources connected to the HD/DVD

IN 4-5, and HDMI IN 6-7 inputs display in the left window, but not the

right.

❑If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a

DVD) side by side, the 4:3 source appears larger.

❑Twin View does not display channels that are blocked by parental

settings (see page 121).

About Memory Stick

Memory Stick (sold separately) is a 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 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 98.

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

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 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

message will occur if you attempt any of these operations. This is a result of

the unique file directory structure on these particular flash memory media

and is not a malfunction of the television.

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.

total, including all JPEG, MPEG1, and MP3 files.

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.

Video

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 to securely plug the AC power cords of the media receiver unit and the

display unit into the wall outlet.

❏Press POWER on the front of the media receiver unit.

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

❏Try another channel; it could be station trouble.

❏Press PIC OFF so that the PICTURE OFF LED on the display unit goes off.

❏Make sure the display interface cable is connected to the display unit as well as

the media receiver unit.

Dark, poor or no picture

(screen lit), good sound

❏Adjust the Picture option in the Video menu (see page 110).

❏Adjust the Brightness option in the Video menu (see page 110).

❏Check the antenna/cable connections.

No color/dark picture/color is

not correct

❏Adjust the Color option in the Video menu (see page 110).

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 62).

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 menu and no text is available. (See

page 125 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 112) to

optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

The connected PC's screen is

not displayed on the TV screen

❏Depending on the type of personal computer, its screen may not be displayed on

the TV screen because of the default signal setting. Change the signal setting of

your PC so that it outputs one of the signal types listed in the PC Input Signal

Compatibility Chart on page 129. For information on how to change the settings

of your PC, see its user guide.

Audio

Striped noise during playback/

recording of a VCR

❏This is caused by video head interference. Keep your VCR away from the media

receiver unit.

❏Leave a space of 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) between your VCR and the media receiver

unit to avoid noise.

❏Avoid installing your VCR in front of the media receiver unit or at the side of the

media receiver unit.

Problem Possible Remedies

Good picture, no sound ❏Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 62).

❏Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Audio menu (see page 115).

❏Make sure the MTS option is set to Stereo or Mono (see page 115).

❏Make sure the speakers are connected correctly (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.

❏Make sure the Center Speaker In option is set to Off when you are not using the

TV's speakers as a center speaker (see page 115).

Audio noise ❏Communication problems may occur if infrared communication equipment (e.g.,

infrared cordless headphones) is used near the TV. Please use headphones other

than infrared cordless headphones. Also, if you use infrared communication

equipment other than infrared cordless headphones, move the infrared transceiver

away from the TV until the noise is eliminated, or move the transmitter and

receiver of the infrared communication equipment closer together.

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 FUNCTION repeatedly until 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 Audio menu (see page 115), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If

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

during weak stereo broadcasts).

Cannot raise the volume on

external speakers

❏If the Audio Out option is set to Fixed, use your audio receiver to adjust the

sound (see page 115). Or, to use the TV remote control, set the Audio Out option

to Variable.

❏To turn on the TV speakers, set the Speaker option to On (see page 115).

Although the Center Speaker In

option is set to On, the TV

speakers do not output sound

❏Make sure to connect the center speaker output jack of an audio device, such as an

AV amplifier, to the CENTER SPEAKER IN jack on the rear of the media

receiver unit.

❏Make sure the connected audio device is not muted.

❏Make sure you are watching a program on TV or DVD that has center-channel

sound.

Channels

General

Switching the channel while

using the TV speakers as a

center speaker causes sound to

stop coming out of the TV

speakers

❏This is because the program on the new channel does not have center-channel

sound. Switch the Center Speaker In option to Off (see page 115).

Switching the Center Speaker

In option to Off causes sound to

stop coming out of the TV

speakers

❏Make sure to connect the audio output jacks on an audio device, such as a VCR or

a DVD player, to the audio input jacks on the media receiver unit. For the devices

that you wish to output sound from the TV speakers, connect them to the audio

input jacks as well as the video input jacks on the media receiver unit.

Cannot operate Menu ❏If a menu option appears in gray, this indicates that the menu option is not

available.

Lost password ❏In the password screen (see page 121), enter the following master password:

4357. The master password clears your previous password; it cannot be used to

temporarily unblock channels.

TIMER LED on front panel is

lit

❏The LED (see page 20 or 130) blinks when the TV is turned on, then shuts off

when the picture is displayed. If the red LED blinks continuously, this may

indicate the TV needs service. When lit, indicates that the timer is set (see page 20

or 130). When the timer is set, this LED will remain lit even when the TV is

turned off.

Digital cable box does not work ❏If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box using a splitter, as described on

page 38, you must use a special bi-directional splitter that is designed to work

with your digital cable box. Contact your cable provider for details.

Cannot record digital channels

to VCR

❏Only analog channels can be recorded to your VCR.

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.

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 i.LINK STANDBY LED blinks in red when the signal from an i.LINK device

is being shown.

The TV does not turn on ❏The TV cools down 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.
