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.

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.

Attachments

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

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.

KP 46WT500 specifications

The Sony KP-46WT500 is a standout model in the world of rear-projection televisions, having made its mark during its release in the early 2000s. It exemplifies the key attributes that have kept Sony at the forefront of consumer electronics for decades.

At the heart of the KP-46WT500 is its impressive 46-inch display, which allows for larger-than-life viewing experiences. The television employs a digital light processing (DLP) technology, which uses micro-mirrors to create high-resolution images with remarkable clarity and detail. DLP provides excellent color reproduction, thanks to its ability to deliver deeper blacks and vibrant colors, making it an ideal choice for movie enthusiasts and gamers alike.

One of the standout features of the KP-46WT500 is its native resolution of 1280 x 720p, enabling it to display high-definition content with impressive sharpness. The screen also utilizes a proprietary Sony filtering system that enhances picture quality, reducing the distortion often seen in standard televisions. The inclusion of a built-in line-doubling processor allows the TV to upscale lower-resolution content, ensuring that DVDs and older video games look their best.

The KP-46WT500 also boasts a breadth of connectivity options, including multiple composite and component inputs, S-Video ports, and an RGB input for computers. This flexibility allows users to connect various devices such as gaming consoles, DVD players, and set-top boxes without hassle.

Another notable characteristic of the KP-46WT500 is its stylish cabinet design. Its sleek profile combines functionality with aesthetics, making it a fitting addition to modern living spaces. The design also incorporates easy access to controls and inputs, ensuring that setup and operation are user-friendly.

Sound quality is equally important, and the KP-46WT500 does not disappoint. It features built-in speakers that provide clear audio output, though audiophiles might opt for external sound systems for a more immersive experience.

In summary, the Sony KP-46WT500 represents a significant step in the evolution of television technology. Its DLP technology, high-definition resolution, diverse connectivity, and attractive design make it a notable choice for anyone looking for a robust viewing experience. While newer models may have emerged since its introduction, the KP-46WT500 remains a beloved classic among enthusiasts who appreciate its impactful features and performance.
