CAUTION

How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your Projection TV

Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV, resulting in retention of the image in the picture. Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image retention:

View a variety of program sources or programming material.

Image retention can occur when bright stationary images such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.

When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness” levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher “Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.

Please refer to your instruction manual for instructions on adjusting picture settings.

This will help you reduce the risk of causing image retention.

Safety

❑Operate the projection TV only on 120 V AC.

❑The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall 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 should fall inside the cabinet, unplug the projection TV immediately and have it checked by qualified service personnel before operating it further.

❑If you will not be using the projection TV for several days, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.

For details concerning safety precautions, see “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS” on page 4.

Installing

❑To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation openings.

❑Do not install the projection TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

❑Avoid operating the projection TV at temperatures below 5°C (41°F).

❑If the projection TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color due to moisture condensation. In this case, please wait a few hours to let the moisture evaporate before turning on the projection TV.

❑To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is recommended to use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install the projection TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material.

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.
