CAUTION
How to reduce the risk of "Image Retention"
on your Projection TV
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos
displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to your
TV, resulting in retention of the image in the picture.
Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing
image retention:
View a variety of program sources or programming
material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the
program material viewed reduces the possibility that a
single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes in
your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the
picture setting to reduce the "Picture" and "Brightness"
levels, lmage retention is accelerated by higher
"'Brightness" and higher "'Picture" settings.
Please refer to your instruction manual for instructions on
adjusting picture settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY
YOUR WARRANTY
This document is for the remote control RM-Y909.
MODELS: KP-46WT500, KP-5 IWS500, KP-57WS500,
and KP-65WS500.
Please keep this notice with the instruction manual.
Safety
U] Operate the projection TV only on 120 V AC.
C) The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into

insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your
dealer.
O If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the
cabinet, unplug the projection TV immediately and
have it checked by qualified service personnel before
operating it further.
I_ If you will not be using the projection TV for several
days, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself.
Never pull on the cord.
For details concerning safety precautions, see
"IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS" on page 4.

IMPORTANTSAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read these instructions
completely, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions
and instructions placed on the set or described in the
operating instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use
and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on . {_._r_ i1"
the serial/model plate. If you are not sure
of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or
local power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug
(a plug having one 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 one way. This is a safety feature. If _"k._...---_
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
For the set with a three-wire grounding type
AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords or convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since this can
result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not
being used. When the set is left
unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet as a precaution against the
possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a
fire hazard.
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV _ _..
set is continuous or frequent while the TV _,,_ po,.
is operating, unplug the TV and consult -' ''"-
your dealer or service technician. It is
normal for some TV sets to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds,
particularly when being turned on or off.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the
set through the cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet of the projection TV
with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust _.,_
from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft _/_ I_,_,_'_

Connections Cable Box and Cable This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them
(pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable
box, and
121 You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:
O Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
cable box when the signal is scrambled.
I21 Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your projection TV's
tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
[] Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your
cable box, only one channel is sent to the projection TV, so you can not
use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)

Connect the Cable TV cable to the projection TV's VHF/UHF jack.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV's TO CONVERTER
jack to the cable box's IN jack. The projection TV's internal converter
allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into
the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable
box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the
projection TV's AUX jack.

O Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them
(pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable
box, and
You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:

box when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control
to operate your cable box, see "Programming the Remote Control" on
page 68.
