FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - KDS-55A2000 SONY

Comment changer la lampe de projection du Sony KDS-55A2000 ?

Éteignez le téléviseur et débranchez le câble d'alimentation. Attendez au moins 30 minutes pour que la lampe refroidisse. Retirez le cache extérieur et le volet de la lampe, puis retirez l'ancienne lampe en tirant droit. Insérez la nouvelle lampe (référence Sony XL-5200) et remettez en place le volet et le cache. Enfin, allumez le téléviseur et réglez l'option Remplacement de lampe dans le menu Réglage.

Que faire si l'écran reste noir et que le voyant d'alimentation clignote en rouge ?

Si le voyant clignote trois fois, la lampe ou son cache n'est pas correctement fixé. Vérifiez la bonne installation de la lampe. Si le clignotement est de deux fois, l'intérieur du téléviseur surchauffe : dégagez les ouvertures de ventilation. Pour tout autre clignotement, contactez un réparateur agréé.

Comment accéder au guide électronique des programmes (EPG) numérique ?

En mode numérique, appuyez sur la touche EPG de la télécommande. Utilisez les flèches pour naviguer et validez avec OK. Vous pouvez également le lancer depuis le menu principal en sélectionnant EPG Numérique.

Puis-je utiliser des enceintes externes avec ce téléviseur ?

Oui, vous pouvez connecter un amplificateur ou des enceintes via les sorties audio (phénix) à l'arrière. Dans le menu Réglage, réglez Haut-parleur sur Arrêt et Sortie audio sur Variable ou Fixe selon votre préférence.

Comment réduire la consommation électrique du téléviseur ?

Activez l'option Économie d'énergie dans le menu Réglage. Vous pouvez choisir Auto (modèles 70 pouces) ou Marche pour réduire la luminosité de la lampe et la consommation.

Que faire si l'image semble floue ou a des reflets blancs ?

Évitez d'exposer l'écran à la lumière directe du soleil ou à un éclairage intense. Si un ovale blanc apparaît, il s'agit de réflexions provenant de l'arrière de l'écran : éloignez le téléviseur des sources lumineuses ou baissez l'éclairage ambiant.

Comment programmer la télécommande pour contrôler d'autres appareils ?

Appuyez sur la touche de fonction correspondant à l'appareil (DVD, VCR, AMP, TV) tout en maintenant enfoncée la touche TV I/︱ jusqu'à ce que la LED clignote. Entrez ensuite le code à 3 chiffres de la marque (voir liste page 45). Répétez l'opération pour chaque appareil.

Est-il normal d'entendre un bruit de ventilateur ?

Oui, ce téléviseur utilise un ventilateur de refroidissement. Un léger bruit est normal, surtout la nuit ou dans un environnement silencieux. Si le bruit devient très fort, vérifiez que les ouvertures de ventilation ne sont pas obstruées.

Comment nettoyer l'écran et le boîtier ?

Débranchez le téléviseur. Utilisez un chiffon doux et sec pour enlever la poussière. Pour les taches, humidifiez légèrement le chiffon avec une solution détergente douce diluée. N'utilisez jamais de solvants comme l'alcool ou le benzène, ni de tampons abrasifs.

Quelle distance de visionnage est recommandée ?

Pour le KDS-55A2000, la distance minimale recommandée est de 2,1 mètres. Pour un confort optimal, installez-vous entre quatre et sept fois la hauteur de l'écran.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

• To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times the screen's vertical length away from the TV set.
• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.
• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

Volume adjustment

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

About the TV

• Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a malfunction.
• When High contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image retention on the screen. This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the retained image.
• If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen, part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural property of the TV.
  Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

Projection lamp

• Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one when:
• the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen,
• the lamp indicator on the front blinks in red,
• screen images become dark,
• no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

- In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the lamp” on page 48.)

- When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.

- The projection lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use, a small amount of mercury may be released. In this situation, move away from the product and ventilate the area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.

Cooling fan

This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear some fan noise (depending on the placement of the TV), which may be more noticeable during the night, or when ambient noise is particularly low.

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

Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from mains socket before cleaning.

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

- Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.

- Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set continuously for a long period as the display panel becomes hot.

- We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little as possible.

- To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

- Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.

- The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.

- If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.

Optional Equipments

• Do not install optional components too close to the TV set. Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.
• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.

Additional Information

Replacing the lamp

The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and functionality which affects the overall performance of your TV. How long the Lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending upon your usage and environmental conditions. To maintain the quality of your viewing experience, Sony recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) when the screen becomes dark or the colour looks unusual; (2) when ⚙ on the front of the TV flashes; (3) after approximately 8,000 hours of use (for KDS-55A2000) or 4,000 hours of use (for KDS-70R2000); or (4) when the lamp replacement message appears on the TV screen.

WARNING

Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Use only a Sony XL-5200 (for KDS-55A2000, not supplied) or XL-5300 (for KDS-70R2000, supplied) replacement lamp for replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.
• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.
• Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.
• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable “pop” sound. This is normal and it is inherent to this type of lamp.
• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of the broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit.
• This TV's lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. The material contained in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp, so you should dispose of it in the same way.

1 Switch off the TV. Wait several minutes, then unplug the mains lead.
(The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after switching the TV off.)

2 Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the mains lead to allow the lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.

3 Take the new lamp out of its package. Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.

Notes

• Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp or shorten its life.
• Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

4 Remove the outside lamp cover.

10 Turn on the TV and set the Lamp Replacement option in the Set-up menu (page 32). This setting is necessary to inform you when the next lamp replacement is needed.

Notes

• Until you set the Lamp Replacement option, a message announcing that the lamp is at the end of its life will appear every time you switch on the TV.
• Consult your Sony dealer for a Sony XL-5200 (for KDS-55A2000) or XL-5300 (for KDS-70R2000) replacement lamp.
• Take great care when replacing the lamp or plugging in/unplugging the connecting cords. Rough handling may cause the TV to fall, damaging the TV, the TV stand and the floor.

- This TV's PC input does not support Sync on Green or Composite Sync.

- The PC input signal displays on-screen in a smaller size than the actual TV screen size and does not support interlaced signals.

- For the best picture quality, it is recommended to use the signals (boldfaced) in the above chart with a 60 Hz vertical frequency from a personal computer. In plug and play, signals with a 60 Hz vertical frequency will be selected automatically.

Troubleshooting

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

When it is flashing

The self-diagnosis function is activated. (When the indicator flashes in two- or three-blink intervals, see page 55.)

1 Count how many ⏻ (on/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 TV (front) to switch it off, disconnect the mains lead, 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 in the tables below.
2 If the problem still persists, have your TV serviced by qualified service personnel.

Picture

Problem	Cause/Remedy
No picture (screen is dark) and no sound	Check the aerial connection.Connect the TV to the mains, and press ⏻ on the TV (front).If the ⏻ (on/standby) indicator lights up in red, press TV ⏻/⋯.
No picture or no menu information from equipment connected to the scart connector	Check that the optional equipment is on and press →/→ repeatedly until the correct input symbol is displayed on the screen.Check the connection between the optional equipment and the TV.
Double images or ghosting	Check aerial/cable connections.Check the aerial location and direction.
Only snow and noise appear on the screen	Check if the aerial is broken or bent.Check if the aerial 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 optical equipment.When installing optional equipment, leave some space between the optional equipment and the TV.Make sure that the aerial is connected using the supplied coaxial cable.Keep the aerial cable away from other connecting cables.
Picture noise when viewing a TV channel	Select “Manual Programme Preset” in the “Analogue Set-up” menu and adjust “AFT” (Automatic Fine Tuning) to obtain better picture reception (page 37).
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.
No colour on programmes	Select “Reset” in the “Picture” menu to return to the factory settings (page 25).
No colour or irregular colour when viewing a signal from the Y, PB/CB, PR/CR sockets →4 or 7	Check the connection of the Y, PB/CB, PR/CR sockets →4 or 7.Make sure that the Y, PB/CB, PR/CR sockets →4 or 7 are firmly seated in their respective sockets.

Continued

Problem	Cause/Remedy
Picture flashes initially when changing to HDMI mode or when switching on the TV in HDMI mode	This is probably caused by the authentication process between HDMI equipment and the TV. It does not indicate a malfunction.
A white oval image appears on the screen	This is due to strong light reflecting off both the TV screen and reflections coming from behind the screens.Position your TV away from strong ambient light or sunlight, or lower any ambient lights.

Sound

Problem	Cause/Remedy
No sound, but good picture	Press + / - or 呎 × (Mute).Check that “Speaker” is set to “On” in the “Set-up” menu (page 32).
Noisy sound	See “Picture noise” causes/remedies on page 53.

Channels

Problem	Cause/Remedy
The desired channel cannot be selected	Switch between digital and analogue mode and select the desired digital/ analogue channel.
Some channels are blank	Scrambled/Subscription only channel. Subscribe to the Pay Per View service.Channel is used only for data (no picture or sound).Contact the broadcaster for transmission details.
Digital channels are not displayed	Contact a local installer to find out if digital transmissions are provided in your area.Upgrade to a higher gain aerial.

General

Problem	Cause/Remedy
The TV turns off automatically (the TV enters standby mode)	Check if the “Sleep Timer” is activated, or confirm the “Duration” setting of “On Timer” (page 31).If the inside of the TV grows warm while Cooling Mode is set to “High”, the TV automatically switches to standby mode.(When Cooling Mode is set to “Normal” under the same conditions, the mode switches to “High”, the cooling fan starts, and a loud whirring noise may be heard.)If no signal is received and no operation is performed in the TV mode for 10 minutes, the TV automatically switches to standby mode.
The TV turns on automatically	Check if the “On Timer” is activated (page 31).
Some input sources cannot be selected	Select “AV Preset” in the “AV Set-up” menu and cancel “Skip” of the input source (page 34).
Uneven colour uniformity appears on the screen when the TV is powered on	After turning on the TV, you may notice a slight colour (tint) variation in certain areas of the picture. This will last only a few minutes each time you turn on the TV. This is a normal temperature characteristic of the components and not a malfunction.
The remote does not function	Check that the remote is set correctly for the equipment you are using.Check whether the equipment you want to use corresponds to the function button being pressed (page 14).If the remote does not operate the equipment even when the remote has been set correctly to the equipment, enter the necessary code as explained in “Programming the remote” (page 45).Replace the batteries.
indicator flashes in red	Replace the lamp (page 48).
The TV does not switch on	The TV cools down its projection lamp after being switched off. It takes up to two minutes for the picture to come back after the TV is switched on again. Wait for a while until the picture returns.
Cannot play shooting games	Some shooting games that involve pointing a light beam at the TV screen with an electronic gun or rifle cannot be used with your TV. For details, see the instruction manual supplied with the video game software.
On/standby indicator flashes in intervals of some blinks at a time	Three blinks: The lamp cover or the lamp itself is not securely attached.Two blinks: If there is a considerable rise in temperature inside the TV such as when any ventilation openings are blocked.Other: Consult your dealer or service.
A slight creaking noise occurs from the bottom part of the TV	Advanced Iris applies a mechanical iris system. When Advanced Iris is turned On/Off, a natural creaking noise occurs due to the basic structure of the optical unit. The creaking sound is an inherent nature of this system and is not a defect.
High Temperature Warning message appears	This message will appear when there is a rise in temperature inside the TV. Make sure to remove dust from the ventilation slots on the rear and both sides of the TV. In addition, make sure that there are no obstacles in front of the ventilation slots. If no blockage is found, you may need to set Cooling Mode to “High”, otherwise the TV will turn off. With Cooling Mode set to “High”, if the message reappears and the TV turns off again, the TV may need servicing. Call your local Sony service centre.
