Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

•Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

•Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

•Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

•Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Power-Cord Protection

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

Antennas

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lightning

For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.

Service

Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

•If liquid has been spilled into the set or objects have fallen into the product.

•If the set has been exposed to rain or water.

•If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.

•If the set does not operate

normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation.

•When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service the set yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to the set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe operating condition, and to so certify. When the set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the set.

KV-20FS120, KV-24FS120 specifications

The Sony KV-20FS120 and KV-24FS120 are notable CRT televisions that were part of Sony's lineup in the early 2000s, showcasing the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality viewing experiences through innovative technology. Both models are distinguished by their excellent picture quality and feature set, making them popular choices for home entertainment.

The KV-20FS120 features a 20-inch screen, while the KV-24FS120 offers a slightly larger 24-inch display. Both models utilize Sony's Trinitron technology, which is known for its superior color reproduction and sharp image clarity. The unique aperture grill structure of Trinitron screens allows for more light to pass through, resulting in vivid colors and deep blacks. This technology was a significant advancement in CRT design, helping to eliminate the distortion often found in flat-screen displays at the time.

One of the defining characteristics of the KV-20FS120 and KV-24FS120 is their aspect ratio of 4:3, which was standardized for television broadcasts. This makes both models well-suited for traditional television shows and movies prior to the widespread adoption of widescreen formats. The aspect ratio also serves to provide an immersive viewing experience typical of CRT displays.

In terms of connectivity, both models come equipped with multiple inputs, including composite, S-Video, and RF connections. This versatility allows users to connect various devices, such as DVD players, gaming consoles, and cable boxes. The Dual Color Temperature Control feature allows users to adjust the color balance to suit their preferences, enhancing the viewing experience even further.

The built-in stereo speakers on both models deliver robust audio performance, complementing the visual experience and providing a more complete entertainment package. Moreover, the models include features such as Auto Programming, allowing for easy channel scanning and setup.

While technology has evolved significantly since the release of these models, the Sony KV-20FS120 and KV-24FS120 remain a testament to the high standards of Sony's engineering and design philosophy. They are perfect for enthusiasts who appreciate the nostalgia of CRT televisions while still demanding superior picture and sound quality for their home entertainment systems.
