CAUTION
How to reduce the risk of "Image Retention" on your
Projection TV
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed
on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV,
resulting in retention of the image in the picture. Please
take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image
retention:
View a variety of program sources or programming
material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program
material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image
will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the
picture setting to reduce the "Picture" and "Brightness"
levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher
"Brightness" and higher "Picture" settings.
Please see page 72 for instructions on adjusting picture
settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY

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 still fails 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.
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 being
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.
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.
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.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet of the 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
a 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 projection TV for a long
period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the
projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Installation
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,
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 Sony for the specific model of TV. No part of
the TV set should overhang any edge of the TV
cart or stand; any overhanging edge is a safety
hazard. 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.
4
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 provides
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.
