4 Safety Information
Additional Safety Information
• After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly,
pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors
or lenses inside the projection TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.
• 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.
• Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for instance, when operating a video game or personal computer and viewing a
programme in 16:9 mode, may damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the picture contrast level low.
• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.
• Screen Burn / Image Retention
An “image ghosting”, or “screen burn” may appear on the screen if the television is left operating with, either a still image, or a
programme displaying a bright corner channel logo, for an extended period of time. The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Live”
mode or has a high contrast setting. This image cannot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of occurrence do
not leave the television operating on such a picture, or programme for long periods of time. Repeated extended daily usage of the
same image, or programme can also result in this occurrence which is not covered by the Sony warranty.
Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of
the TV. Refer to qualified service personnel
only. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose the TV to rain or moisture. For your own safety, do not touch any part
of the TV, power lead or aerial lead during
lightning storms.
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the
TV For ventilation, leave a space of at least
10cm all around the set.
