About the LCD projection TV
Although the LCD projection TV is made with high-
precision technology, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly
on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the
LCD panel and is not a defect.
Installation
❑ If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines
on the screen, part of the screen may appear white
due to reflections from behind the screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD projection TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or
direct sunlight.
❑ The picture quality may be affected by your viewing
position. Sit at least approx. 5.9 or 6.6 ft. (1.8 or 2.0
m) for KDF-42WE655 or KDF-50WE655, or
approx. 6.8 or 7 ft. (2.1 or 2.2 m) for KDF-55WF655
or KDF-60WF655 away from your LCD projection
TV, and within 60º of the vertical and 130º of the
horizontal viewing area for KDF-42WE655 or KDF-
50WE655, or within 55º of the vertical and 125º of
the horizontal viewing area for KDF-55WF655 or
KDF-60WF655. If you sit too close to the TV, you
may experience eye strain. For the best picture
quality, install your LCD projection TV according to
“Recommended Viewing Area” on page 30.
❑ When installing your LCD projection TV against a
wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.
❑ Avoid installing the LCD projection TV near a
heater, etc.
Projection lamp
❑ Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as
its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a
new one (not supplied) when:
• the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel
blinks in red,
• screen images become dark,
• no image appears on the display after prolonged
use.
❑ In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp
unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of
broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit. (See
“Replacing the Lamp” on page 16.)
Cooling fan
❑ This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You
may hear the noise of fan running, depending on the
placement of your LCD projection TV. The noise
may be more noticeable during the night or when the
background noise level is low.
