• 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 screen and is not a malfunction.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be damaged.
• If this TV set 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 TV set is in use. This is not a malfunction.
• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal and mercury. The fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain mercury. Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the TV set from AC power outlet before cleaning.

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.

Troubleshooting

Check whether the ⏻ (standby) indicator is flashing in red.

When it is flashing

The self-diagnosis function is activated.

1 Count how many ⏻ (standby) indicator flashes between each two second break. For example, the indicator flashes three times, then there is a two second break, followed by another three flashes, etc.

2 Press ⏻ on the top edge of the TV to turn it off, disconnect the AC power cord, and inform your dealer or Sony service centre of how the indicator flashes (number of flashes).

When it is not flashing

1 Check the items listed below.

2 If the problem still persists, have your TV serviced by qualified service personnel.

No picture or no menu information from equipment connected to the video input jack

• Press /— to display the connected equipment list, then select the desired input.
• Check the connection between the optional equipment and the TV.

Double images or ghosting

• Check the antenna/cable connection.
• Check the antenna location and direction.

Only snow and noise appear on the screen

• Check if the antenna is broken or bent.
• Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable life (three to five years in normal use, one to two years at the seaside).

Distorted picture (dotted lines or stripes)

• Keep the TV away from electrical noise sources such as cars, motorcycles, hair-dryers or optional equipment.
• When installing optional equipment, leave some space between the optional equipment and the TV.
• Check the antenna/cable connection.
• Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cables.
• Broadcast signals are too strong. Turn off or disconnect the booster if it is in use.

Picture or sound noise when viewing a TV channel

• Select “Manual Programme Preset” in the “Channel Setup” menu and adjust “AFT” (Automatic Fine Tuning) to obtain better picture reception (page 31).
• Select “Noise Reduction” in the “Picture” menu to reduce the noise in the picture (page 21).

Good picture, but noisy sound

• The TV system setting is inappropriate.
- If the sound of all the channels are noisy, perform “Auto Tuning” in the “Channel Set-up” menu to preset the channel again (page 30).
- If the sound of some channels is noisy, select the channel, then perform “Manual Programme Preset” in the “Channel Set-up” menu, and select the appropriate TV system (“TV System”) (page 31).

Some tiny black points and/or bright points appear on the screen

- The picture of a display unit is composed of pixels. Tiny black points and/or bright points (pixels) on the screen do not indicate a malfunction.

• Make sure that the Y, P B/CB, PR/CR jacks of -∅/-∅ 1 or 2 are firmly seated in their respective jacks.

Picture flashes initially when changing to HDMI mode or switching on the TV with HDMI mode

- This is probably caused by the authentication process between HDMI equipment and the TV. It does not indicate a malfunction.

Sound

No sound, but good picture

• Press + / - or ※ (Mute).
• Check if the “Speaker” is set to “TV Speaker” from the “AV Set-up” menu in “Set-up” menu (page 26).
