LCD Screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are
effective, 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 malfunction.
• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun.
Doing so may damage the screen surface.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects
on top of this unit. The image may be uneven or the
LCD panel may be damaged.
• If this unit is used in a cold place, a smear may occur
in the picture or the picture may become dark.
This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena
disappear as the temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this unit is in
use. This is not a malfunction.
Mains lead
If you damage the
mains lead, it may result
in fire or electric shock.
•
Do not pinch, bend,
or twist the mains
lead excessively.
The core lines may
be exposed or cut,
causing a short-
circuit which may
induce fire or
electric shock.
• Do not convert or
damage the mains
lead.
• Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead. Do
not pull the mains lead.
• Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.
• Be sure to grasp the plug when disconnecting the
mains lead.
If the mains lead is damaged, stop using it and ask
your dealer or Sony service centre to exchange it.
Fluorescent lamp
This unit uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light
source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or
does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has run down and
should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified
service personnel.
When not in use
For environmental
and safety reasons,
it is recommended
that the unit be
switched off when
not in use – not left
in standby mode. Disconnect it from the mains.
Heat
Do not touch the surface of the unit. It remains hot, even
after the unit has been turned off for some time.
Cable wiring
Take care not to catch your feet on the cables. It may
damage the unit.
Cleaning the screen surface
The screen surface is finished with a special coating to
prevent strong light reflections. Be sure to observe the
following precautions to avoid damaging the finish.
•
To remove dust from the screen surface, wipe gently
with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent
solution. You can wash and repeatedly use the soft
cloth.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid
cleaner, scouring powder, or strong solvent such as
alcohol, benzine or thinner.
Installation
Do not install optional components too close to the
unit. Keep optional components at least 30 cm away
from the unit. If a VCR is installed in front of the
unit or beside the unit, the picture may become
distorted.
Adjusting the viewing angle of the TV
When adjusting the angle, hold the stand with your hand
so that it does not come loose or fall off.
Be careful not to catch your fingers between the TV and
the stand.
