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, and irregular coloured stripes or
brightness may appear on the PDP screen. This is not a
malfunction.
• With extensive use of this TV set in 4:3 mode, the 4:3
screen area might become darker within a 16:9 panel. To
avoid this problem, the “Smart” picture mode should be
used (see page 15).
On image retention
• If the following images are displayed for extended periods
of time, image retention (afterimage) in areas of the screen
may result due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display
Panel.
-Black bars at the top and bottom that appear with a wide
video source (Letterbox picture).
-Black bars to the left and right that appear with a 4:3
video source (conventional TV broadcasts).
-Video game sources.
-DVD on-screen menu displays.
-On screen menus, channel logos etc., of connected
equipment such as Set top box, Cable modem, VCR, etc.
The risk of this is higher if the TV set is in “Vivid” mode
or has a high contrast setting. This image 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 this occurrence. IMAGE
RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE SONY
WARRANTY.
• To reduce image retention, this TV set has the “Screen
Saver” function. The default setting of the “Orbit”
function in “Screen Saver” is “On” (page 26).
• The “Screen Saver” function prevents and reduces images
retention. For more details, see page 26.
On altitude
When used at an altitude of greater than 1900 or 6248 feet
(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 external air pressure of
the panels. 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.
