Safety Information

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the LCD projection TV to rain or moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present inside the LCD projection TV. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

For general safety:

Do not expose the LCD projection TV to rain or moisture.
Avoid operating the LCD projection TV at temperatures below 5C. If the LCD projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirror or lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture evaporate before using the LCD projection TV. 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 LCD projection TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight. Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
Do not open the rear cover. 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 the manufacturer for the specific model of LCD projection TV. 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.

About the AC power cord

The shape of AC plug varies, depending on the regions.
Do not carry the LCD projection TV holding the speaker grill. Hold the LCD projection TV tightly when carrying it.

Projection lamp

Your LCD 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 48.) When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp. This televisions lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use, a small amount of mercury may be released. In this situation, move away from the product and ventilate the area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.

Cooling fan

This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear some fan noise (depending on the placement of the LCD projection TV), which may be more noticeable during the night, or when ambient noise is particularly low.

Projection Lamp

Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has lifespan and needs to be replaced when the lamp indicator flashes or the screen becomes darker.
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). How to replace the lamp, see page 48.

Warning

The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into the light housing when the power is on.

Superior Picture Quality

WEGA Engine
Experience beautiful and true-to-life picture quality with sophisticated engineering from Sony. The proprietary Sony WEGA Engine is an advanced picture quality system that integrates a host of unique technologies and circuitry to enable full, precise digital image processing. The result is a stunning display of highly realistic images, amazing detail and sharpness, reduced noise and enhanced clarity, with improved depth and contrast.

3LCD Technology

This technology is the newest evolution in high performance image technology. The Sony Grand WEGA utilises advanced 3LCD Technology with Sony panels to deliver matchless brilliance and projection quality. Sonys innovative 3LCD optical unit splits the light from the lamp into its basic red, green and blue components, and then shines these individual colours through three separate liquid crystal panels. Displayed on each panel at a high resolution, each colour dot is optimised, appearing as shades and highlights, giving High-Definition picture quality. This allows purer, sharper and more defined colour reproduction and detail down to the smallest dot.
Converts various types of signals into high-quality digital signals.
Creates a highdensity picture from the original source with Digital Reality Creation.

Fine-tunes and scales all picture parameters to High Definition picture quality.
Maximises the strength of each display device with natural colours and smooth gradation.

Benefits of WEGA Engine

Better Resolution Less Noise Minimises noise level for a finer image.
With 3LCD technology, you enjoy:
Bright Picture Quality Natural Colour Reproduction Highly Detailed Picture Quality

Benefits of 3LCD Technology:
Bright Picture Quality Light efficiency is maximised even with normal room lighting, ensuring that images are always sharp and vivid, without being harsh on the eyes. Natural Colour Reproduction As colours are carefully controlled and recombined, images take on vivid, more natural hues, without the colour break-up that sometimes occurs with other projection TVs. High Detailed Picture Quality With this technology, even the smallest details are projected clearly, including fine gradations and dark spots.
