Note to the CATV Installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

❏Operate the TV only on 120 V AC.

❏One blade of the power plug is wider than the other for safety purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

❏If any liquid or solid object falls into the TV, unplug it and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

CAUTION

When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously watching the same channel can cause the imprint of station logos onto the TV screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are the results of misuse.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

✍You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

The Sony KV series, particularly the KV-36FV310, KV-27FV310, KV-32FV310, and similar models, represents an era of television technology that has left a lasting impact on home entertainment. Designed predominantly for CRT (cathode-ray tube) enthusiasts, these televisions are celebrated for their impressive picture quality, robust build, and unique features that cater to different viewing experiences.

The KV-36FV310, being the flagship model of the series, is notable for its large 36-inch screen that offers a rich, immersive viewing experience. It utilizes Sony's Trinitron technology, which enhances color accuracy and brightness. The television features a 16:9 aspect ratio, making it ideal for watching movies and television shows formatted for wide screens. With a resolution of 480p, it delivers crisp images, especially for its time, and remains a favorite among retro gaming enthusiasts who value its handling of classic game consoles.

The KV-32FV310 offers a slightly smaller option with its 32-inch screen, maintaining many of the same technologies that its larger counterpart boasts. This model is perfect for smaller living rooms or bedrooms, still providing impressive color reproduction and contrast while optimizing space. The built-in stereo speakers enhance the audio experience, making it a complete multimedia solution.

The KV-27FV310 caters to those who prefer a compact size without compromising on performance. Despite its smaller 27-inch screen, it retains the essential features of the series, including the Trinitron tube, which is acclaimed for its sharpness and depth of color. This model strikes a balance between space-saving design and visual fidelity.

All models in this series are equipped with multiple video inputs, including composite, S-video, and RF connections, allowing for versatile connectivity with various devices. This flexibility supports connections to DVD players, gaming consoles, and even VCRs, which were prominent during the height of these models' popularity.

In terms of design, the KV series exhibits a sleek, understated aesthetic typical of Sony products from that era, ensuring that they complement a variety of home decors. The remote control functionality adds convenience, allowing users to navigate channels and settings with ease.

Although the KV series has been largely surpassed by modern LCD and OLED technology, its legacy endures, celebrated for its contributions to the evolution of television design and performance. Collectors and retro tech enthusiasts continue to seek out these models, keen to experience the unique vintage charm and quality they offer.
