comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference with radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
sReorient or relocate the receiving
antennas.
sIncrease the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
sConnect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
sConsult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Safety
sOperate the TV only on 120 V AC.
sThe plug is designed, for safety purposes,
to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, contact your dealer.
sIf any liquid or solid object should fall
inside the cabinet, unplug the TV
immediately and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before
operating it further.
sIf you will not be using the TV for several
days, disconnect the power by pulling the
plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
sFor details concerning safety precautions,
see “Important Safeguards” on page 2.
Important Notice
sWhen used at an altitude of greater than
1,900m or 6,248feet (air pressure less than
800hPa), this Plasma Display Panel may
generate a low buzzing sound as a result
of the difference between the interior and
exterior air pressure of the panels. This is
not considered a defect and is not covered
under by the Limited Warranty.
Installing
sTo prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.
sDo not install the TV in a hot or humid
place, or in a place subject to excessive
dust or mechanical vibration.
sAvoid operating the TV at temperatures
below 5°C (41°F).
sIf the TV is transported directly from a
cold to a warm location, or if the room
temperature changes suddenly, the picture
may be blurred or show poor color due to
moisture condensation. In this case,
please wait a few hours to let the moisture
evaporate before turning on the TV.
sTo 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

You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate
this equipment.
CAUTION
Bright, stationary images, such as TV station
logos, displayed on your TV can become
permanently imprinted onto the screen.
Theses types of imprints are known as
“Image Retention.” Please take the following
steps to reduce the risk of causing image
retention:
View a variety of program sources or
programming material. Changing the
program material viewed reduces the
possibility that a single image will become
imprinted on the TV screen.
When using video games, computers, and
similar products with your TV, or viewing a
TV station whose logo always stays on the
screen, keep the “Brightness” and “Picture”
functions at low settings. (See page 92 for
instructions on adjusting picture quality.)
This TV was designed primarily for viewing
TV broadcasts in wide screen mode (16:9
aspect ratio). Therefore, when viewing
conventional (4:3) aspect ratio TV programs,
select “Wide Zoom” or “Full” in the Wide
Screen Mode, or “4:3 Default” in the Screen
menu (see pages 97-98).
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED
BY YOUR WARRANTY.

source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-
analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. The WEGA
engine features unique Sony technology, including:
• The first step in the digital processing system, Composite
Component Processor2 (CCP2), which enhances input signal to
noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing;
•DRC (Digital Reality Creation®) MultiFunction 2 circuitry:
Enables the digital mapping of any NTSC source (DVD, VHS, DBS,
Cable, etc.), to create a picture that is precise and finer in detail,
rivaling high definition resolution. Incoming HD signals (1080i) are
also bitmapped, utilizing Sony’s proprietary algorithm to provide a
crisp and clear picture;
•IFP (Image Format Processor): The Digital Texture Enhancer
function of this chip provides the optimal contrast by utilizing a wide
dynamic range. This chip also reduces signal noise, by using an
improved motion vector algorithm, while maintaining image
sharpness.
•New Panel Driver LSI: This drive provides a more realistic color
expression by improving the color space of the original signal and
color gradation.
sS-master Full Digital Amplifier: Delivers superb clear dialog and
reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound
fragmentation or jitter noise.
sBN Smoother™: Reduces the block noise caused by digital video
encoding and decoding process.
sCineMotion®: Provides an optimized display by automatically
detecting film content and applying a reverse 3/2 pulldown process.
Moving pictures will appear clearer and more natural-looking.

About Memory Stick
Memory Stick (sold separately) is a compact, portable, and versatile
Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that makes it
perfect for portable applications, such as digital photography. Memory Stick
is specially designed for sharing digital data among Memory Stick
compatible products such as digital cameras and digital video cameras.
Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be used for external data
storage.
The Memory Stick Viewer on your TV allows you to view files that are
stored on Memory Stick media. You can view:
sDigital photos (JPEG files)
sMovies (MPEG1 files)
You can also play slide show background music using MP3 files (or m3u
playlists) stored on your Memory Stick.
For more information about handling Memory Stick media, see “Notes on
Using Memory Stick Media” on page 90.
Features With the Memory Stick Viewer, you can:
sView TV screen digital images (JPEG) and (MPEG1) with background
music (MP3) in a thumbnail index or Slide Show
sSet customized Slide Show options, including transitions and
background audio

About Memory Stick PRO Media
Memory Stick PRO media features vary by and are dependent upon the
design of host hardware devices. Memory Stick PRO in this television has
been tested to support up to 1 GB media capacity and does not support high-
speed transfer, MagicGate copyright protection technology, or access control
security features.
Memory Stick
Functionality
Sony cannot guarantee or assure the Memory Stick functionality on this
television in the following cases:
sYou are using non-Sony brand Memory Stick media.
sYou are using video or audio clips that have been processed on a
computer.
sYou are using files that were obtained from the Internet or from a
printed film processing center.
sThe Memory Stick has been formatted on a personal computer.
Sony recommends that you back up all data stored on Memory Stick media
to avoid potential data loss. In the above two cases, in order to avoid
potential data corruption that may occur, be sure to back up data prior to use
with the TV’s Memory Stick Viewer. Sony cannot accept responsibility in
the event that data recorded to Memory Stick media is lost or damaged. For
certain non-Sony brand Memory Stick media, you can view images, but you
cannot rotate, delete or protect/unprotect images on the television. An error
message will occur if you attempt any of these operations. This is a result of
the unique file directory structure on these particular flash memory media
and is not a malfunction of the television.
CAUTION: If you are using a Memory Stick DUO or Memory
Stick PRO DUO with your TV, do not use the Memory Stick
with its adaptor. Remove the adaptor before you insert it
into the TV's Memory Stick slot. Inserting the Memory Stick
