Safety

Information

Installation/Set-up

Install and use the TV set in accordance

with the instructions below in order to

avoid any risk of fire, electrical shock or

damage and/or injuries.

Installation

• The TV set should be installed near an

easily accessible mains socket.

• Place the TV set on a stable, level

surface.

• Only qualified service personnel should

carry out wall installations.

• For safety reasons, it is strongly

recommended that you use Sony

accessories, including:

– Wall-mount bracket SU-WL500

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with

the Wall-mount bracket when attaching

the mounting hooks to the TV set. The

supplied screws are designed so that they

are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when

measured from the attaching surface of

the mounting hook.

The diameter and length of the screws

differ depending on the Wall-mount

bracket model.

Use of screws other than those supplied

may result in internal damage to the TV

set or cause it to fall, etc.

Transporting

• Before

transporting the

TV set, disconnect

all cables.

• Two or three

people are needed

to transport a large

TV set.

• When

transporting the

TV set by hand,

hold it as shown

on the right. Do

not put stress on

the LCD panel.

• When lifting or

moving the TV

set, hold it firmly

from the bottom.

• When transporting the TV set, do not

subject it to jolts or excessive vibration.

• When transporting the TV set for repairs

or when moving, pack it using the

original carton and packing material.

Ventilation

• Never cover the ventilation holes or

insert anything in the cabinet.

• Leave space around the TV set as shown

below.

• It is strongly recommended that you use

a Sony wall-mount bracket in order to

provide adequate air-circulation.

Installed on the wall

Installed with stand

• To ensure proper ventilation and prevent

the collection of dirt or dust:

– Do not lay the TV set flat, install

upside down, backwards, or

sideways.

– Do not place the TV set on a shelf,

rug, bed or in a closet.

– Do not cover the TV set with a cloth,

such as curtains, or items such as

newspapers, etc.

– Do not install the TV set as shown

below.

Mains lead

Handle the mains lead and socket as

follows in order to avoid any risk of fire,

electrical shock or damage and/or injuries:

– Use only mains leads supplied by

Sony, not other suppliers.

– Insert the plug fully into the mains

socket.

– Operate the TV set on a 220–240 V AC

supply only.

– When wiring cables, be sure to unplug

the mains lead for your safety and take

care not to catch your feet on the

cables.

– Disconnect the mains lead from the

mains socket before working on or

moving the TV set.

– Keep the mains lead away from heat

sources.

– Unplug the mains plug and clean it

regularly. If the plug is covered with

dust and it picks up moisture, its

insulation may deteriorate, which

could result in a fire.

Notes

• Do not use the supplied mains lead on

any other equipment.

• Do not pinch, bend, or twist the mains

lead excessively. The core conductors

may be exposed or broken.

• Do not modify the mains lead.

• Do not put anything heavy on the mains

lead.

• Do not pull on the mains lead itself when

disconnecting the mains lead.

• Do not connect too many appliances to

the same mains socket.

• Do not use a poor fitting mains socket.

How can I properly clean my LCD television? Verified

Turn off the television and wipe dust and dirt off the screen with a microfiber cloth. Do not use paper, this can cause scratches. Do not apply too much pressure or you might cause damage to pixels. Use a specialized detergent or make one by mixing 1 part vinegar with 1 part water. Moisten the cloth with the detergent and clean the screen. Make sure the cloth is not too wet. Remove stains by making rotating movements. Dry the screen with a second microfiber cloth to prevent stripes.
