Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. See Replacing the Lamp on page 76.
For Safety Be Careful when Moving the TV
When you place the TV in position, be careful not to drop it on your foot or fingers. Watch your footing while installing the TV.
Carry the TV in the Specified Manner
If you carry the 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 TV with the specified number of persons (see page 12). Do not carry the TV holding the speaker grill. Hold the TV tightly when carrying it. Before carrying the TV, disconnect any accessories or cables.
Projection Lamp Your 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 76) When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.
Cooling Fan This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the placement of your TV. The noise may be more noticeable during the night or when the background noise level is low.
About the LCD projection TV
Although the LCD projection TV is made with highprecision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD 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 LCD projection TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For the best picture quality, install your TV according to Recommended Viewing Area on page 13. When installing your TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.

Replacing the Lamp

The projection lamp, which illuminates the picture, has a limited life. If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or the LAMP indicator on the front of the TV flashes, it is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied).
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
Use a Sony XL-2200 replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the TV. Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire. Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptable once the lamp has been removed. When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and it is inherent to this type of lamp. 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. The lamps contain mercury, for proper disposal of the used lamps follow and observe the local ordinances. See page 79.

How to Replace the Lamp

Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait several minutes, then unplug the power cord. (The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after turning the power off.) Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the power cord to allow the lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not touch the lamp receptable once the lamp has been removed. Take the new lamp out of the box. Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.
Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp or shorten

its life.

Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the
lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.
Loosen the screws on the rear side panel.

Remove the front panel.

STD/DUO
Pull out the lamp. Loosen the right screw on the cover with a coin or similar object.
Remove the screw from the lamp cover. Pull down the cover toward you.
Unscrew the lamp and pull out the lamp horizontally.
The lamp is very hot immediately after use. Never touch the glass
portion of the lamp or the surrounding parts.
After it has cooled, place the used lamp into the empty box of the
replacement lamp. Never put the used lamp into a plastic bag.
Place the new lamp into its place, then tighten the screw. Mount the new lamp securely. Failure to mount correctly may cause a fire or the screen to go dark.
Push the cover back on. Make sure that the hole on the cover aligns with the hole on the unit. Reattach the lamp cover by tightening the screw.

CableCARD Device

Problem Possible Remedies Problems using CableCARD Check that the CableCARD device is inserted properly (see pages 25-26). device or CableCARD services The CableCARD device must be activated by your local cable TV provider before you can receive digital cable TV services. See the activation instructions on pages 25-26. Check the Diagnostics and CableCARD menu options (see page 74). (This can be useful in providing information to an authorized technician or repair person.) Contact your cable TV provider.
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 the power cord is plugged in. Press POWER on the front of the TV.

Using a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable may solve the problem. Set the Image Shift to an appropriate value. The default setting is Auto. If doubled images appear with Auto, select the best value from 1 to 4 (see page 71). You have selected a text option in the Setup menu and no text is available. (See page 70 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. 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). The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your TVs 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 TVs 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 59) to optimize the picture while viewing these sources.

Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen

Good picture, no sound

Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 42). Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Audio menu (see page 61). Make sure the MTS option is set to Stereo or Mono (see page 61). 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. Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable boxs remote control. Then press FUNCTION once, and the TV indicator lights up and adjust the TVs volume. The TVs audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to Stereo. In the Audio menu (see page 61), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce background noise during weak stereo broadcasts). If the Speaker option is set to Off and the Audio Out option is set to Fixed (in order to output the sound to your audio system) use your audio receiver to adjust the sound (see page 61). 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 61).
