• Observe the followings to prevent the mains lead being
damaged. If the mains lead is damaged, it may result in a
fire or an electric shock.
– Unplug the mains
lead when moving
the TV set.
– When you
disconnect the
mains lead,
disconnect it from
the mains socket first.
– Be sure to grasp the plug when

– Keep the mains lead away from heat
sources.
• If you damage the mains lead, stop
using it and ask your dealer or Sony service centre to
exchange it.
• Do not use the supplied mains lead on any other
equipment.

Mains socket
• The TV set with a three-wire grounding
type mains plug must be connected to a
mains socket with a protective earthing
connection.
• Do not use a poor fitting mains socket.
Insert the plug fully into the mains socket.
A poor fit may cause arcing and result in a
fire. Contact your electrician to have the
mains socket changed.

Cleaning the mains plug
Unplug the mains plug and clean it
regularly. If the plug is covered with dust
and it picks up moisture, its insulation may
deteriorate and result in a fire.

Overloading
This TV set is designed to operate on
a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take
care not to connect too many
appliances to the same mains socket
as this could result in a fire or an electric shock.

When not in use
• If you will not be using the TV
set for several days, the TV set
should be disconnected from
the mains for environmental
and safety reasons.

• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the
TV set is switched off. To disconnect the TV set
completely, pull the plug from the mains. However, some
TV sets may have features which need the TV set to be left
in standby to work correctly.

Carrying
• Before carrying the TV set,
KDL-46X2000/40X2000
disconnect all the cables from the
TV set.

Precautions
Viewing the TV
• To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing
position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical
length away from the TV set.
• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct
illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling.
• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor
light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

Volume adjustment
• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours.
Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing
the windows or using headphones is suggested.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,
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 screen and is not a
malfunction.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on
top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD
screen may be damaged.
• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in
the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the
temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in
use. This is not a malfunction.
• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal
and mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this TV set also
contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and
regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of
the TV set
Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set
from mains socket before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or
throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.
• Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set
continuously for a long period as the display panel
becomes hot.
• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little
as possible.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent
solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the screen surface and
cabinet material.
• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To
ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the
dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
• If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base
of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from
becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get
your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.

Optional Equipments
• Do not install optional components too close to the TV set.
Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the
TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or
beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.
• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV
set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment
emitting electromagnetic radiation.
