Thank you for purchasing the Sony '1rinitron Color TV. This manual is written for the models listed below. Before reading, check the model number on the rear of your TV. Model KV-27S26 is used for illustration purposes. The screens displayed are for model KV-35V36. Differences in operation features are indicated in the text; for example, "KV-27S26 only".
Operate the TV only on 120 V AC (except KV-29RS26C, 29V36C, 34RS26C, 34V36C). Operate the TV only on 220 V AC (KV-29RS26C, 29V36C, 34RS26C, 34V36C only). The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit in the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer (except KV-29RS26C, 29V36C, 34RS26C, 34V36C). If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet, unplug the TV immediately and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further. If you will not be using the TV for several days, disconnect power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
This manual is divided into four major sections. We recommend that you carefully review the contents of each section in the order provided to ensure that you fully understand the operation of your new TV. 1 Connecting and Installing the TV. This section will guide you through your initial set up. It will show you how to connect your new components, connect to your antenna or cable, and connect any accessories. 2 Basic Set Up. This section will teach you the basic skills needed to operate your new TV. It will show you how to operate special functions of the remote control. 3 Using your New TV. This section will show you how to begin using your new TV. It will show you how to use the AUTO SET UP feature, and how to use your remote control's features. 4 Adjusting your Set Up (menus). This section will teach you how to access on-screen menus and adjust your TV's settings. Instructions in this manual arewritten for the remote control. Similarcontrolsmay befound on the TV console.
