Additional Information
Uneven colour uniformity 
appears on the screen when 
the TV is powered on After turning on the TV,  you may notice a slight colour (tint) variation in 
certain areas of the picture. This will last only a few minutes each time you 
turn on the TV. This is a normal temperature characteristic of the 
components and not a malfunction.
The remote does not function Check that the remote is set correctly for the equipment you are using.
 Check whether the equipment you want to use corresponds to the function 
button being pressed (page 14).
 If the remote does not operate the equipment even when the remote has been 
set correctly to the equipment, enter the necessary code as explained in 
“Programming the remote” (page 45).
 Replace the batteries.
 indicator flashes in red Replace the lamp (page 48).
The TV does not switch on The TV cools down its projection lamp after being switched off. It takes up 
to two minutes for the picture to come back after the TV is switched on 
again. Wait for a while until the picture returns.
Cannot play shooting games Some shooting games that involve pointing a light beam at the TV screen 
with an electronic gun or rifle cannot be used with your TV. For details, see 
the instruction manual supplied with the video game software.
On/standby indicator flashes in 
intervals of some blinks at a 
time Three blinks: The lamp cover or the lamp itself is not securely attached.
 Two blinks: If there is a considerable rise in temperature inside the TV such 
as when any ventilation openings are blocked.
 Other: Consult your dealer or service.
A slight creaking noise occurs 
from the bottom part of the TV Advanced Iris applies a mechanical iris system. When Advanced Iris is 
turned On/Off, 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.
High Temperature Warning 
message appears This message will appear when there is a rise in temperature inside the TV. 
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 no blockage is found, you may need to set Cooling 
Mode to “High”, otherwise the TV will turn off. With Cooling Mode set to 
“High”, if the message reappears and the TV turns off again, the TV may 
need servicing. Call your local Sony service centre. Problem Cause/Remedy
