Important Safeguards

For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions placed on the set or described in the operating instructions or service manual.

WARNING

To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.

Use

Power Sources

This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding).Follow the instructions below:

For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug

This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing

the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

Alternate Warning

For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug

This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Always turn the set off when it is not being used. When the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.

If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is continuous or frequent while the TV is operating, unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the set through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and warm water. Never

use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service personnel.

Installation

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended by Sony for the specific model of TV. No part of the TV set should overhang any edge of the TV cart or stand; any overhanging edge is a safety hazard. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

At the heart of the KDP-57XBR2 and KDP-65XBR2 is Sony’s proprietary Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology, which set a new standard for rear-projection TVs. This technology combines the benefits of both LCD and DLP, providing exceptional color accuracy and contrast. The LCoS panels operate by reflecting light off a silicon backing, resulting in deeper blacks and vibrant colors, making these TVs ideal for a wide range of viewing environments.

Both TVs are capable of displaying 1080p resolution, ensuring that viewers can enjoy crisp, detailed images, particularly beneficial for high-definition content. The inclusion of a 16:9 aspect ratio also enhances the viewing experience, making them perfect for movies and sports.

The Intelligent Digital Reality Creation technology in these models further enhances visual performance by upscaling standard definition content, allowing for a more immersive experience. Additionally, the XBR series was known for its robust build quality and elegant design, which included a sleek cabinet that complemented modern home décor.

In terms of connectivity, the KDP-57XBR2 and KDP-65XBR2 come equipped with multiple input options, including HDMI, component, S-video, and composite inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of devices, from gaming consoles to DVD players. This versatility was aimed at accommodating the burgeoning market for high-definition media devices.

Overall, the Sony KDP-57XBR2 and KDP-65XBR2 appealed to consumers looking for high-quality large-screen viewing experiences at home. Combining advanced LCoS technology, impressive resolutions, and a range of connectivity options, these models remain a testament to Sony's innovation in television design.
