button repeatedly on
the remote control until the correct input symbol is displayed on the screen.
• Press the
+ button on the remote control.
• Check that “TV Speakers” is “On” in the “Sound Adjustment” menu.
• Check that headphones are not connected.
• Using the menu system, select the “Picture Adjustment” menu and select
“Reset” to return to factory settings.
• This is not a malfunction. Press the number buttons on the remote control to
select the desired channel.
• Adjust the colour registration. For more details, please refer to “Adjusting Colour
Registration (Convergence)” section on page 10.
• Using the menu system, select the “Manual Programme Preset” menu and adjust
Fine Tuning (AFT) to obtain better picture reception.

without 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).

“Remote Control Configuration for VCR/DVD” chapter on page 23.
• Replace the batteries.
• Contact your nearest Sony service centre.
