NOTIFICATION This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: s Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. s Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. s Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. s Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. Pursuant to FCC regulations, you are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. Safety s Operate the TV only on 100 - 120 V AC. s Use the AC power cord specified by Sony and suitable for the voltage where you use it. s The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer. s If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet, unplug the TV immediately and have it checked by qualified service personnel before operating it further. s If you will not be using the TV for several days, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the cord. s For details concerning safety precautions, see "Important Safety Instructions" on page 6. Installing s The TV should be installed near an easily accessible power outlet. s To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation openings. s Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration. s Use the TV at temperatures between 41°F (5°C ) and 95°F (35°C ). s To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is recommended to use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install the TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material. To Customers Sufficient expertise is required for installing the specified TV. Be sure to subcontract the installation to a Sony dealer or licensed contractor and pay adequate attention to safety during the installation. Note This television includes a QAM demodulator which should allow you to receive unscrambled digital cable television programming via subscription service to a cable service provider. Availability of digital cable television programming in your area depends on the type of programming and signal provided by your cable service provider. CAUTION Bright, stationary images, such as TV station logos or photos, displayed on your TV can become permanently imprinted onto the screen. This type of imprint is known as "Image Retention." Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of this occurring: View a variety of program sources or programming material. Changing the program material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image will become imprinted on the TV screen. When using video games, set-top boxes, or similar products with your TV, or when viewing a TV station whose logo always stays on the screen, select the appropriate Picture settings for the room brightness and set Picture Mode to Standard (see page 32 for instructions on adjusting Picture settings). This TV was designed primarily for viewing TV broadcasts in wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio). Therefore, when viewing conventional (4:3) TV programs, select Wide Zoom or Full in the Wide Mode. To reduce the risk of image retention, turn off the On Screen Display (OSD) by pressing the DISPLAY button, and turn off the menus of connected equipment (see page 20 and 30). IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Un-repairable damage can occur and is not covered under warranty.
