Additional Information
Possible remedies
• Turn off any equipment connected to the Scart connector on
the rear of the TV.
• Using the menu system, enter to the "Language/Country"
option in the "Set Up" menu and select the country in which
you operate the TV set (page 21). For Cyrillic languages, we
recommend to select Russia country in the case that your
own country does not appear in the list.
• Using the menu system, select the "Features" menu. Then set
"AV3 Output" to "Auto" (page 20).

• Press the 2 +/– button on the remote control.
• Check that "TV Speakers" is set to "On" in the "Features"
menu (page 19).
• Check that headphones are not connected.
• Make sure that the aerial is connected using the supplied
coaxial cable.
• Keep the aerial cable away from other connecting cords.
• Do not use 300-ohm twin lead cables as interference may
occur.
• Communication problems may occur if the infrared
communication equipment (e.g. infrared cordless
headphones) is used near the TV. Please use headphones
other than infrared cordless headphones, move the infrared
transceiver away from the TV until the noise is eliminated, or
move the transmitter and receiver of the infrared
communication equipment closer together.
• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over a period of
time. the accumulated dust may make the cooling function of
the built-in fan less effective. To prevent this, we recommend
removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a
vacuum cleaner.
• If the item you want to select appears in a pale colour, you
cannot select it.
• Changes in room temperature sometimes causes the TV
cabinet to expand or contract, which can make slight noises.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
• The TV's fan setting is working. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
• An electrical circuit inside the TV is activated when the TV is
turned on. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• There might be a surge sound when turning on the TV. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
• Check that the Media Selector on the remote control is set
according 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 "Remote Control
Configuration for VCR/DVD" on page 31.
• Replace the batteries.
• Contact your nearest Sony service centre.
