HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus two-channel digital audio. Getting Started Notes on the TV To enjoy clear picture Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly onto the screen. The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with sharp or abrasive objects (see "On Contamination on the Screen Surface" on page 6). When not using the TV for a long period of time Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using the TV for more than a week. When turning off the power The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow several minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the breaker off. On moisture condensation If your TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the picture may blur or show poor color. This is caused by moisture condensation on the lenses inside. Wait a few hours to let the moisture evaporate before turning on the TV. When the condensation has evaporated, the picture will return to normal. 9 Getting Started Screen To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating. Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface. Special care is required. Cleaning the Screen Surface Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture quality. To dust off the screen use a soft cloth. Be sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 6 for stubborn stains and dirt. Temporary Image Retention 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. Projection Lamp To replace the lamp, see page 51. Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has a lifespan and needs to be replaced when the LAMP LED blinks or the screen becomes darker. Your TV also has a function to display a message "Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp." to let you know that the lamp has reached its expected lifespan. Note the following: After turning on your TV, it may take a while (1 minute or less) before the picture appears. When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a new Sony XL-5200 replacement lamp (not supplied). After the lamp is replaced, set the Lamp Replacement option in the Setup settings (see page 47). 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 turn on your TV. The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into the light housing when the power is on. 10 Getting Started Installing the TV Carrying Your TV Carrying the TV requires at least two people. Do not hold by the pedestal or the front panel of the TV. Doing so may cause these parts to break off. When moving the TV, place one hand in the hole on the lower portion of the TV while supporting the top with the other hand, as shown in the illustration below. Getting Started Do not grasp the pedestal or the front panel of the TV. If you have connected cables and cords, be sure to unplug them before moving the TV. Take Precaution during Installation To ensure the safety of children and the TV, keep children away from the TV during installation. Climbing on or pushing the TV or its stand may cause it to fall and damage the TV. As a protective measure, secure the TV as follows. Using the TV stand with support belts Preventing the TV from Toppling Over Sony strongly recommends using the TV stand SU-RS11M (for KDS50A2000)/SU-RS11X (for KDS-55A2000, KDS-60A2000) with a support belt designed for your TV. When using the SU-RS11M (for KDS-50A2000)/SU-RS11X (for KDS55A2000, KDS-60A2000) stand for your TV, you must use the support belt. 11 Getting Started When Installing Your TV against a Wall Keep your TV at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall to provide proper ventilation.
