Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega Overview This chapter defines the contents of your Wega TV and provides an overview of how to set up and use basic features.
Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-tocorner detail. You’ll recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost immediately. The first thing you’ll notice is minimal glare from the flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens.
Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega Package Contents Your box contains your new Trinitron TV, a remote control and two AA batteries. No peripheral cables are included. If you intend to add additional equipment to your TV, please check the hookup instructions for your desired setup before you begin. You may need to purchase cables and/or splitters to complete the hookup properly.

Installing the TV Overview This chapter includes illustrated instructions for setting up your TV.
Installing the TV TV Controls and Connectors Front Panel Menu Controls The front panel menu controls allow access to the on-screen menus without the use of a remote control. Pressing the MENU button brings up the on-screen menus. The arrow buttons move the on-screen cursor in the menus and the SELECT button selects the menu item. TV Rear Panel 7 8 9 1 2 5 3 6 4 Connection 8 Description 1 AUX Allows you to view local and cable channels if your cable provider does not feature local channels.
Installing the TV Connection Description 3 VHF/UHF Connects to your VHF/UHF antenna or cable. 4 CONTROL S IN/OUT Allows the TV to receive (IN) and send (OUT) remote control signals to other Sony infrared-controlled audio or video equipment. 5 S VIDEO Connects to the S VIDEO OUT jack of your VCR or other S VIDEO-equipped video equipment. Provides better picture quality than the VHF/UHF jacks or the Video IN jack.
Installing the TV Basic Connection (Connecting Cable TV or Antenna) Connecting Directly to Cable or to an Antenna The connection you choose depends on the cable found in your home.
Installing the TV Cable and Antenna If your cable provider does not feature local channels, you may find this set-up convenient. CATV cable AUX Rear of TV TO CONVERTER (No connection to TO CONVERTER) Antenna cable VHF/UHF Select CABLE or antenna (ANT) mode by pressing ANT on the remote control. To receive channels using an antenna, instead of the CATV cable: 1 Select antenna mode by pressing ANT on the remote control. 2 Turn the cable to OFF (see page 40).
Installing the TV To set up your TV to use both a Cable Box and a direct-connect CATV cable: 1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. 2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
Installing the TV Cable Box Only Use this hookup if: ❑ You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and ❑ You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your TV. When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup on page 12 instead.
Installing the TV Connecting a VCR and Cable Use this hookup if you have cable TV that does not require a cable box. 1 Connect the cable TV cable to the VCR’s IN jack. 2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. 3 Using an A/V cable, connect the VCR’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks. ✍ If the VCR you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack, you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture quality (compared to a combination audio/video cable).
Installing the TV Connecting a VCR and Cable Box Use this hookup if: ❑ Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels), so you need to use a cable box, and ❑ You want to use the Twin View feature. With this setup you can: ❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels using your cable box when the signal is scrambled. ❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV when the signal is not scrambled.
(Continued from the previous page) Installing the TV VCR Coaxial cable A/V cable Cable box TV Coaxial cable Splitter (not included) CATV Coaxial cable AUDIO-R (red) AUDIO-L (white) VIDEO (yellow) To switch between channels from cable box and channels from CATV ❑ Press the TV/VIDEO button on the TV remote control. To view the cable box signals ❑ Match (channel 3 or 4) the channel setting of the VCR IN with the cable box OUT.
Installing the TV To use Twin View with the cable box ❑ Turn on the VCR. (The VCR’s tuner is used as one of the Twin View picture sources; if you do not turn on the VCR, the Twin View will not work.) Use the remote control’s TV/VIDEO button to set the Twin View output to VIDEO 1. Change one Twin View channel by changing channels on the cable box.
Installing the TV Connecting Two VCRs for Tape Editing If you connect two VCRs, so you can record from one to the other, you can connect the recording VCR into your TV to monitor what is being recorded. The procedure below shows you how to do this. 1 Using an A/V cable, connect the playback VCR’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the recording VCR’s Audio and Video IN jacks. 2 Using an A/V cable, connect the recording VCR’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks.
Installing the TV Connecting a Satellite Receiver 1 Connect the satellite antenna cable to the satellite receiver’s SATELLITE IN jack. 2 Using an A/V cable, connect the satellite receiver’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks. 3 Connect a coaxial cable from your cable or antenna to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. ✍ If the receiver you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack, you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture quality (compared to a combination audio/video cable).
Installing the TV Connecting a Satellite Receiver with a VCR 1 Connect the satellite antenna cable to the satellite receiver’s SATELLITE IN jack. 2 Connect the CATV cable to the VCR’s VHF/UHF IN jack. 3 Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. 4 Using an A/V cable, connect the satellite receiver’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the VCR’s Audio and Video IN jacks. 5 Using an A/V cable, connect the VCR’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks.
Installing the TV 6 If necessary, change the video input on your VCR. (See your VCR’s user’s guide for instructions on how to do that.) To watch satellite TV, or the VCR ❑ Press TV/VIDEO on the remote control to select a video source. To watch cable TV ❑ Press TV/VIDEO on the remote control to select VHF/UHF (to select the CATV cable on the TV).
Installing the TV Connecting an Audio Receiver For better sound quality, you may want to connect your TV to your stereo system’s audio receiver. To connect to an audio receiver ❑ Use audio cables to connect the TV’s Audio OUT jacks to the audio receiver’s audio LINE IN jacks.
Installing the TV Connecting a DVD Player with Component Video Connectors This is the preferred hookup to use if your DVD player has component (Y, PB, PR) jacks. 1 Using three separate component video cables, connect the DVD player’s Y, PB and PR jacks to the Y, PB and PR jacks on the TV — the number 5 or 6 connections under HD/DVD IN. ✍ The Y, PB and PR jacks on your DVD player are sometimes labeled Y, CB and CR, or Y, B-Y and R-Y. If so, connect the cables to like colors.
Installing the TV Connecting a DVD Player with A/V Connectors Use this hookup if your DVD player does not have component (Y, PB, PR) jacks. ✍ An S VIDEO connection will give a good-quality video signal, but if your DVD player has component video, that connection (described on the previous page) will give an even better signal. 1 Using audio cables, connect the DVD player’s Audio OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio IN jacks.
Installing the TV Connecting a Digital TV Receiver 1 Using three separate component video cables, connect the Digital TV Set-top box’s Y, PB and PR jacks to the TV. z Be sure to read the manual for the Set-top box. ✍ If you prefer, you can use an S VIDEO cable instead of the Y, PB and PR connections. The Y, PB and PR connections will provide the best-quality picture, but you cannot record the signal from any equipment connected to the Y, PB and PR inputs.
Installing the TV Connecting a Camcorder For easy connection of the camcorder, the TV has front Audio and Video inputs (shown below). If you prefer, you can connect the camcorder to the TV’s rear Audio and Video IN jacks. 1 Using A/V cables, connect the camcorder’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks. AUDIO-R (red) AUDIO-L (white) VIDEO (yellow) A/V output If you have a mono camcorder, connect its audio output to the TV’s AUDIO L jack.
Installing the TV Using the CONTROL S Feature The CONTROL S feature allows you to control your TV, plus other Sony equipment (such as a DVD player or VCR) connected to the TV, using only the TV’s remote control. In addition to allowing you to control multiple devices with one remote control, the CONTROL S feature allows you to always point your remote control at your TV, instead of having to point it at the other equipment, which might be hidden or out of direct line of sight.
Installing the TV Setting Up the TV Automatically After you finish connecting your TV, you can run Auto Setup to set up your channels. The Auto Setup screen appears when you turn your TV on for the first time after installing it. If you do not want to set up the channels at this time, you can do it later by using the Auto Program feature in the Channel menu (see page 40 for information regarding Channel menu).
