One member's solution: Sony Corporate phone number is not listed. Its 1-858-942-2400. You'll need to ask to speak to someone in the National Customer Relations department. This is apparently the same place you end up at after being escalated from tech support level 2. P.S. Here is what I got from Sony about the OBs... The earlier production were using the following part numbers: A-1148-155-A (50? set) A-1127-174-A (60? set) The later production uses the following optical block part numbers. A-1168-495-A (50? set) A-1168-494-A (60? set) ***VARIOUS*** XBR1 Deinterlacing: Does the XBR1 "bob & weave?" http://archive2.avsforum.com/avs-vb/...&&#post6602874 SXRD Versus Plasma: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=715384 XBR1 Model/Chassis code and Date: Chassis model number, place, and date of manufacture are on a sticker on the back of the set. <insert pic> XBR1 Base Dimensions: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=719508 I measured 37" across, left to right, from the front, 27" across on the back, with 18" in between the front and rear center points. The current stand I have is maybe 40 in the front, 30 in the back and 20 deep, so the XBR1 fits perfect - and in fact enhances the "floating effect" that the chassis/speakers give the screen itself. Service Menu: Be VERY CAREFUL in the Service Menu. Enter at your own Risk! [DISPLAY] + [5] + [VOL+] + [POWER] check hours on lamp: Starting with TV turned on - press Power, Display, 5, Vol+, Power. That will get you into the SM. Press Jump three times to get you to the 3rd menu area ("PANEL NVM OK"). Press 2 or 5 a bunch of times to get to category 20 TIMER. You should see something like 0 LMP 100, which I think means you have used 100 hours on the lamp. 1 and 4 change sub-categories in the menu. Moves up and down options. 2 and 5 change sections jump key switches between different menu systems Mute then Enter commits any changed values. Be careful with this. Press Power to exit the SM and turn the TV off. 0 then enter reverts to previous settings (couple seconds, screen may go black) LAMP Part# 11680720 UHP100W/120W-R70 also known as: UHP 100W 120W Lamp Specifications: Manufacturer: Philips Lighting Max Lamp Power: 120 Watts Max Lamp Current: 2.0 Amps Max Lamp Operating Voltage: 65 Volts Ignition Voltage: 5 KV Bulb Finish: Hard Dichroic Cold Mirror Bulb Type: PAR-22 Borosilicate with front glass Reflector Size: Square 65x70mm Arc Gap: 1.0 mm Electrodes: Solid tungsten Luminous Flux: 6000 lm at 100W 7000 lm at 120W Luminous Efficacy: 58 lm/W Colour Temperature & CRI: CCT : 7600K CRI : Ra 57 Chromaticity Co-ordinates: CCx : 0.298 CCy : 0.311 Rated Life: 8000 hours at 100 W 6000 hours at 120 W Factory: Turnhout, Belgium UHP: Most projectors of today use Ultra High Pressure (UHP) lamps invented by Philips. These use an arc in a pure mercury vapor under high pressure. UHP lamps operate at pressures above 200 atmospheres or 3,000 pounds per square inch. A 100 watt UHP lamp in a projector can deliver more light to the screen than a 250 watt metal halide lamp. http://www.ercservice.com/lamps/phil..._120W-R70.html ***REVIEWS*** XBR1: Ultimate AV: 60XBR1 review Sound & Vision: 50XBR1 review CNET: 60XBR1 review A CRT Zealot's Review XBR2: Ultimate AV: 60XBR2 review CNET's 60XBR2 umr on the XBR2: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...&&#post8792988 ***Sony extends limited warranty (parts and labor) in the US for KDS-R50XBR1 and KDS-R60XBR1 until October 31, 2008 regardless of purchase date. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/new...R1&news_id=185 This information was originally posted by member jfh3 and was brought to my attention by member cctvtech. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***My original post starting this thread.*** My KDS-R60XBR1 has arrived... I don't have a "report" perse for all of you, rather just the opinions of one darn happy consumer. I'm going to include a link to an HTML page with all the thumbnails of pics I've taken. Please no critiquing of the photography, I know I'm horrible at taking pictures, just try to realize if there is any apparent fault with the pictures it is with my skills as a lousy photographer not the set. HDTV on this set is absolutely stunning as far as I'm concerned. I watched about an hour of "The Italian Job" and was amazed over and over again with how good the picture was. I watched part of "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers" on a progressive scan DVD player and was surprised at how good a DVD can still look when given the proper equipment. I may have to go back and watch a lot of my DVD's over again just to see what I missed previously. Standard definition cable was very watchable but wasn't anything special by a long shot. There is only so much processing can do and you know what they say, Sh*t in sh*t out. That pretty much covers standard definition. I hooked up my PS2 briefly (don't have component cables for it only composite) and again it was very usable just nothing special. I'll bet Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will look out of this world on this set though. My cable box is hooked up through HDMI (HDMI to HDMI) for anyone who wants to know. Also the screen on this set is matte not shiny. I'm a computer geek but not a TV geek so I don't know exactly what else to tell everyone else. The only other piece of information I can give is that I'm SO very happy I purchased this set. I have not seen a set to date (Qualia 006 excluded) that had a better picture, in my mind. Of course I would be bias towards this set as it's what I've chosen. My final verdict is that I'm 100% satisfied with it at the present time. If there was one thing I could change about the set, it would be to have removable side speakers. The speakers are a small price to pay for an otherwise outstanding set. I hope everyone enjoys. I'll try to answer questions in due time. But for now, back to the TV. ![]() Edited to remove link. Last edited by Bombthroat; 03-25-07 at 02:32 PM.. |

Man, am I jealous! I can just see this beauty as the new centerpiece to my HT. Unfortunately, I am way to anal to buy one sight unseen, sooo.. I guess I wait until I can demo one here in Minneapolis. Congratulations on your purchase and being the first one to get your hands on this incredible set! Only question I can pose is, have you seen any lip sync issues with the SXRD? Other than that, it sounds like this is the set to own in 2005. Again, congratulations! |

Again, congratulations and good luck! As always, thanks for the time and effort you've taken to post photos and the reviews you've supplied as well as starting an owner's thread. I know it's a sacrifice when you would much rather be playing with your new toy

Hmm i currently have a 5 year old or so Sony 57" HD RPTV. I have just started to look to upgrade. I was looking at the 55" A20 a bit today. I sit 8 feet from the screen, what is this screendoor effect people talk about? I would be tempted to look at getting the 50" version of this, but that is downsizing quite a bit from what i currently have. Sitting 8" would i be better with the 50 vs the 55" A20? I will mostly use it for gaming and DVD's.
*edit* Sorry mark i tried looking through that post some put the sheer volume is daunting. I tried searching but was not finding the answers i was looking for. Sorry for wasting space and posting the questions here. |

Congratulations! Man, that thing has to be hot off the production line! That is very very cool. Have you been able to get a black screen and check for any dust that might have entered the light engine? I hope these might have a little bit better QC than the A10s...
I wonder if Sony will also build these in Mexico to cut down on tarriffs. It shall be interesting....

Congrats on the new set. I am very happy to see that there appears to be two HDMI inputs. I think I am going to have to wait till the stand becomes included before I take the plunge as I will kick myself in 6 weeks when this happens.
Again, thank you for posting the pics and congrats!! Enjoy your toy. |
