If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box using a splitter, as described on
page 17, you must use a special bi-directional splitter that is designed to work
with your digital cable box. Contact your cable provider for details.
TV cabinet creaks
❏
When the TV is in use, there is a natural rise in temperature, causing the cabinet to
expand or contract and may be accompanied by a slight creaking noise. This is not
a malfunction.
A slight creaking noise occurs
from the bottom part of the TV
❏
Advanced Iris
applies a mechanical iris system. When
Advanced Iris
is set, a
natural creaking noise occurs due to the basic structure of the optical unit. The
creaking sound is an inherent nature of this system and is not a defect.
The cooling fan is loud
❏
If the TV is used at high altitudes and
Cooling Mode
is set to
High
, the cooling
fan runs faster and its sound becomes louder. If the TV is not used at high
altitudes, set

Normal
(see page 47).
“High Temperature Warning”
message appears
❏
Make sure to remove dust from the ventilation slots on the rear and both sides of
the TV. In addition, make sure that there are no obstacles in front of the ventilation
slots. If the message still appears after the dust or obstacles are removed, the TV
may need servicing. Call your local Sony Service Center.
The TV does not turn on
❏
The TV cools down its projection lamp when the power is turned off. It takes up to
two minutes for the picture to come back after the TV is turned on again. Wait for
a while until the picture comes back.
