WARNING To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should beobserved in the installation, use and servicing of the set. Use Power Sources This set should be operated only from the type ofpower source indicated on the serial/modelplate. If you are not sure of the type of electricalpower supplied to your home, consult yourdealer or local power company. For those setsdesigned to operate from battery power, refer tothe operating instructions. Grounding or Polarization This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug havingone blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug(a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions below: For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug This plug will fit into the power outlet only oneway. This is a safety feature. If you are unable toinsert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversingthe plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact yourelectrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Donot defeat the safety purpose of the polarizedplug by forcing it in. Alternate Warning For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug This plug will only fit into a grounding-type poweroutlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable toinsert the plug into the outlet, contact your electricianto have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat thesafety purpose of the grounding plug. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords orconvenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since thiscan result in fire or electric shock.Always turn the set off when it is not being used. Whenthe set is left unattended and unused for long periods oftime, unplug it from the wall outlet as a precautionagainst the possibility of an internal malfunction thatcould create a fire hazard.If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set iscontinuous or frequent while the TV is operating, unplugthe TV and consult your dealer or service technician. It isnormal for some TV sets to make occasional snapping orpopping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into the set through thecabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltagepoints or short out parts that could result in a fire orelectric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set. Cleaning Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaningor polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosolcleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with waterfor cleaning the exterior of the set. Installation Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended by themanufacturer, as they may cause hazards. Water and Moisture Do not use power-line operated sets near water — forexample, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, orlaundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. Corrosion Use of this set near the seashore may subject the set to excessive salt,corrosion and internal damage and result in deterioration of the set’sperformance. If the set will be subjected to these conditions, steps should betaken to reduce the humidity and temperature of the area where the set islocated. Accessories Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, tableor shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to achild or an adult and serious damage to the set. Useonly a cart or stand recommended by Sony for thespecific model of TV. No part of the TV set shouldoverhang any edge of the TV cart or stand; anyoverhanging edge is a safety hazard. An appliance andcart combination should be moved with care. Quickstops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause theappliance and cart combination to overturn. Ventilation The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom areprovided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set,and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never beblocked or covered.s Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth orother materials.s Never block the slots and openings by placing the seton a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.s Never place the set in a confined space, such as abookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilationis provided.s Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heatregister, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight. Power-Cord Protection Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the powercord, and do not place the set where the power cord issubject to wear or abuse. Carrying This set should only be moved by two or morepeople. If the set needs to be transported, it shouldbe protected to insure that it is not subject toshock, vibration or excessive force. Antennas Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoorantenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead powerlines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contactwith such power lines or circuits.WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREMECARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCHPOWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOSTINVARIABLY FATAL.Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protectionagainst voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of theNational Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section 54 of the CanadianElectrical Code in Canada provides information with respect to propergrounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-inwire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location ofantenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, andrequirements for the grounding electrode.4 (US) Antenna Grounding According to the NEC Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna Grounding. Lightning For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges. Image retention An image retention or ghost may appear on screen of the set if it a static image is displayed on the screen for a period of time. To avoid this problem, the “4:3 Default” or “Restore” mode should be used. Refer to the operating instructions if an image retention or ghost appears. Service Damage Requiring Service Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: s When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. s If liquid has been spilled into the set. s If the set has been exposed to rain or water. s If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged. s If the set does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation. s When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it indicates a need for service. Servicing Do not attempt to service the set yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 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. Important Safety Instruction

Note that black bands may appear near the frame, or part of the picture may not appear, if you select the Wide Screen Mode manually while watching the picture without the control signal. Auto Wide: “Mode2” In “Mode2,” the TV selects the best Wide Screen Mode automatically to fit the wide screen, regardless of the control signal.
