Precautions

PDP Screen

• Please note that the PDP screen is made with high-

precision technology. However, black points or bright

points of light (red, blue or green) may appear constantly

on the PDP screen. Irregular coloured stripes or brightness

may appear on the PDP screen. This is not a malfunction.

• Extensive use of this TV set in 4:3 mode may result in the

4:3 screen area becoming darker than the rest of the

screen. To avoid this, use “Smart” mode to view 4:3

images.

• Due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display Panel,

image retention (afterimage) may occur in areas of the

screen if the following images are displayed for extended

periods of time:

-Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen that may

appear with widescreen images (Letterbox picture).

-Black bars at the left and right sides of the screen that

appear with 4:3 images.

-Video game sources.

-PC images.

-DVD menus.

-On screen menus, channel logos etc.

The risk of image retention is higher if the TV set is in

“Live” mode or has a high contrast setting. Such image

retention can not be removed once burnt onto the screen.

To avoid the risk of image retention, do not leave the TV

set operating on such a picture or programme for a long

period of time, use the “Screen Saver” function (page 26)

or lower the contrast setting. Repeated, extended daily use

of the same image or programme can also result in image

retention. IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY

THE SONY WARRANTY.

• When used at an altitude greater than 2400m (7891 feet,

air pressure less than 750hPa), the Plasma Display Panel

may generate a low buzzing sound. This is a result of the

difference between the interior and external air pressure of

the TV set. This is not considered a defect and is not

covered by the Sony warranty. This buzzing sound is an

inherent characteristic of any Plasma Display Panel.

Installing the TV set

• Do not install the TV set in places subject to extreme

temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a

radiator, or heating vent. If the TV set is exposed to

extreme temperature, the TV set may overheat and cause

deformation of the casing or cause the TV set to

malfunction.

• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the

TV set is switched off. To disconnect the TV set

completely, pull the plug from the mains.

• 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.

• Do not install optional components too close to the TV set.

Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the

TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or

beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.

Handling and cleaning the screen

surface/cabinet of the TV set

The screen surface is finished with a special coating to

prevent strong light reflections.

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,

observe the following precautions.

• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or

throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.

• Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set

continuously for a long period as the display panel

becomes hot.

• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little

as possible.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe

gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a

soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent

solution. You can wash and repeatedly use the soft cloth.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,

scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,

benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or

maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl

materials may result in damage to the screen surface and

cabinet material.

• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To

ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the

dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
