• Turn off any equipment connected to the Scart connector on the rear of the projection

• Using the menu system, enter to the “Language/Country” menu and select the
country in which you operate the projection TV set. For Cyrillic languages, we
recommend to select Russia country in the case that your own country does not

the same language that NexTView is broadcast in.

any button being pressed, the projection TV automatically decreases the brightness
level to avoid any damage to the picture tube. To reset the brightness level, press any
button of the remote control.
• Check that the Media Selector on the remote control is set to the device you are using
(VCR, TV or DVD).
• If the remote control does not operate the VCR or DVD even when the Media Selector
has been set correctly. Enter the necessary code set as explained in the “Remote
Control Configuration for VCR/DVD” chapter on page 23.
• Replace the batteries.
• Contact your nearest Sony service centre.
