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. Abattery-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)

1. Summary of Self-Diagnosis Function
• This device includes a self-diagnosis function.
• In case of abnormalities, the Standby/Sleep lamp automatically blinks. It is possible to predict the abnormality location by the
number of blinks. The Instruction Manual describes blinking of the Standby/Sleep lamp.
• If the symptom is not reproduced sometimes in case of a malfunction, there is recording of whether a malfunction was gener-
ated or not. Operate the remote command to confirm the matter on the screen and to predict the location of the abnormality.
2. Diagnosis Items and Prediction of Malfunction Location
• When a malfunction occurs the Standby/Sleep lamp only blinks for one of the following diagnosis items. In case of two or
more malfunctions, the item which first occurred blinks. If the malfunctions occurred simultaneously, the item with the lower
blink count blinks first.
• The screen display displays the results regarding all the diagnosis items listed below. The display “ 0 ” means that no malfunc-
tions occurred.

4. Self-diagnosis screen displays
• In cases of malfunctions where it is not possible to determine the symptom such as when the power goes off occasionally or when
the screen disappears occasionally, there is a screen display on whether the malfunction occurred or not in the past (and whether
the detection circuit operated or not) in order to allow confirmation.
<Screen Display Method>
• Quickly press the remote command button in the following order from the standby state.

This manual is divided into four major
sections. We recommend that you carefully
review the contents of each section in the
order provided to ensure that you fully
understand the operation of your new
projection TV.
1Installing and Connecting the
Projection TV.
This section will guide you through your
initial set up. It will show you how to
connect your new components and how
to connect to your antenna or cable.
2Basic Set Up.
This section will teach you the basic skills
needed to operate your new projection
TV. It will show you how to operate
special functions of the remote control.
3Using Your New Projection TV.
This section will show you how to begin
using your new projection TV. It will
show you how to use the AUTO SET UP
feature, and how to use your remote
control's features.
4Adjusting Your Set Up (menus).
This section will teach you how to access
on-screen menus and adjust your
projection TV's settings.
Instructions in this manual are written for the remote
control. Similar controls may be found on the projection
TV console.

S-Link/CONTROL S cable
Sony connector for S-Link and CONTROL S
connections. These features are exclusive to
Sony products and allow greater control of
all Sony equipment.
Note:
• For S-Link and CONTROL S connections,
you can use the combined S-Link/
CONTROL S cable provided with some
Sony video equipment, or you can
purchase a separate S-Link/CONTROL S
cable (RK-G69HG).
Making Connections
For the best picture quality, a cable TV
system or outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting directly to cable or an
antenna
The connection you choose will depend on
the cable found in your home. Newer homes
will be equipped with standard coaxial cable
(see A); older homes will probably have 300-
ohm twin lead cable (see B); still other
homes may contain both (see C).

Mounting the Supplied Rear
Speakers
For enhanced surround effect, connect the
supplied rear speakers to your projection TV.
Connecting the rear speakers
Using the supplied speaker cord, connect
REAR SPEAKER OUT L on your projection
TV to the speaker terminal on one rear
speaker, and connect REAR SPEAKER OUT R
to the terminal on the other one.
Note:
• Match the colors of the speaker cords and
the terminals. If the colors are reversed,
sound will be distorted.
