SAFETY CHECK-OUT
( US model only )
After correcting the original service problem, perfom the follow-
ing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
l. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-sol-
dered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder
splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps,
and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely
certain that you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly tran-
sistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them
out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious
signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recom mend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend
the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the condition of the monopole antenna (if any). Make
sure the end is not broken off, and has the plastic cap on it.
Point out the danger of impalement on a broken antenna to
the customer, and recommend the antenna’s replacement.
8. Check the B+ and HV to see they are at the values specified.
Make sure your instruments are accurate;be suspicious of
your HV meter if sets always have low HV.
9. Check the antenna temminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
TheAC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5mA (500 microampers) . Leak-
age current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or
RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to
usc these instruments.
2. A battery-operatedAC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-
tion is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are
examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. NearIy all bat-
tery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range
are suitable. (See Fig. A)
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is guaranteed earth ground;the cover-plate re-
taining screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground. If
the retaining screw is to be used as your earth-ground, verify that it
is at ground by measuring the resistance between it and a cold-
water pipe with an ohmmeter. The reading should be zero ohms. If
a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60-l00 watts trouble
light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and
the retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot
side of the line, the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the
screw is at ground potential. (See Fig. B)

Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing the Sony Color Rear Video
Projection TV. Here are some of the features you will
enjoy with your projection TV:
• On-screen menus that let you set the picture quality,
sound, and other settings.
• Two tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) that allows you
to watch another TV channel, video or cable image
as a window picture.
• Surround system that simulates the sound quality
of a concert hall or movie theater.
• SAVA SPEAKER option of the AUDIO menu that
lets you take advantage of the Sony SAVA series
speaker system’s surround sound and super woofer
mode when you connect it to the projection TV.
About this manual
Instructions in this manual are based on use of the
remote control. You can also use the controls on the
projection TV if they have the same name as those on
the remote control.
Precautions
This projection TV operates on extremely high voltage.
To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the
precautions below.
Safety
•Operate the projection TV only on 120 V AC.
•One blade of the plug is wider than the other for safety
purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one
way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, contact your dealer.
•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the projection TV and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it further.
•Unplug the projection TV from the wall outlet if you
are not going to use it for several days or more. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never
pull the cord itself.
For details concerning safety precautions, see the supplied
leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.”
Note on 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 cloth using vertical strokes only. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened
with solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use
strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.
If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV
for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the
inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.
Installing
•To prevent internal heat build-up, do not block the
ventilation openings.
•Do not install the projection TV in a hot or humid
place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or
mechanical vibration.
•Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures
below 5°C (41°F).
•If the projection TV is transported directly from a cold
to a warm location, or if the room temperature has
changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show
poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on
the mirror or lenses inside. If this happens, let the
moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.
•To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to
direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is
recommended to use spot lighting directed down from
the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the screen
with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install the
projection TV in a room where the floor and walls are
not of reflecting material. If necessary, cover them
with dark carpeting or wall paper.

Step 2: Hookup
Connecting an antenna/cable TV
system without a VCR
To cable or antenna
Although you can use either an indoor or outdoor
antenna with your projection TV, we recommend that
you connect an outdoor antenna or a cable TV system
to get better picture quality.
Connecting an antenna
Connect your antenna cable to the VHF/UHF antenna
terminal. If you cannot connect your antenna cable
directly to the terminal, follow one of the instructions
below depending on your cable type.
To cable box and cable
Pay cable TV systems use scrambled or encoded signals
requiring a cable box* in addition to the normal cable
connection.
* The cable box will be supplied by the cable company.
Note
• You cannot watch the signal through an AUX connector as a
window picture.

control
Inserting batteries
Insert two size AA (R6) batteries (supplied) by
matching the + and – on the battery to the diagram
inside the battery compartment.
Notes
• Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six months.
If the remote control does not operate properly or the
indicators of the buttons on the remote control do not light up,
the batteries may be worn out. When replacing batteries,
replace both of them with new ones.
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different types
of batteries together.
• If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the
contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and
replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the
electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you don‘t
plan to use the remote control for a long period of time.
• Do not handle the remote control roughly. Do not drop it, step
on it, or let it get wet.
• Do not place the remote control in direct sunlight, near a
heater, or where the humidity is high.
