Getting Started

Setting Up Your TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount

your TV to a wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to

attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) and the

supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction

leaflet.

Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.

• Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.

• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.

• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.

• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 16.

• For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

• Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.

• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may

cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color.

Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.

(Supplied)

* Be careful not to hit the Table-

Top Stand against the edge of

the surface when attaching it.

Getting Started

• Hold the Table-Top Stand with one hand to avoid it dropping when attaching.

• This TV is very heavy, so two people should place the TV onto thick and soft cloth.

• If using an electric screwdriver, set the tightening torque at approximately 1.5 N·m (15 kgf·cm).

• Be sure to securely tighten the supplied screws, otherwise the TV may fall down.

• Use an appropriate screwdriver to attach the screws tightly without damaging the screw head.

• Please ensure the AC power cord is away from the Table-Top Stand installation location when

you attach the Table-Top Stand.

• When detaching the Table-Top Stand, reverse the attaching procedure. Do not remove any

screws other than those used when attaching the Table-Top Stand. Do not power on the TV with

its LCD panel facing down to avoid uneven picture uniformity.

Securing the TV

Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from toppling

over. Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily

injury or even death.

Preventing the TV from Toppling

❑Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand.

❑Do not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets.

❑Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.

❑Never install the TV on:

• slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.

• furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

❑Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed, or knocked over.

❑Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious

children.

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

Consider the following measures when securing your TV to a TV stand (not supplied).

1Secure the stand for the TV.

Make sure the TV stand can adequately support the weight of the TV. Use two angle

braces (not supplied) to secure the stand.

For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware to:

• attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.

• attach the other side to the TV stand.

Angle braces

protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that installing of your

TV on the wall be performed by qualified professionals. Do not attempt to install it

yourself.

• Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model.

Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength

of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.

• The length of the screw for Wall-Mount Bracket differs depending on the mounting

hook thickness. Please see below illustration.

• Be sure to store the unused screws and Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you are

ready to attach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children.

Black bands appear at

the edges of the screen

• Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are

greater than 16:9 (this is especially common with theatrical

releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at

the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the

documentation that came with your DVD/Blu-ray (or contact your

program provider).

the screen, which will remain in affect until you change the

channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again.

Certain programs on

DVD or other digital

sources display a loss of

detail, especially during

fast-motion or dark

scenes

• This is due to the digital compression of the source content used

by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs which may cause your

TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts

(small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen.

These signal compressions are more visible and are dependent

on the clarity and resolution of the TV.

Remote control does not

operate

• To determine if the problem is with the remote control or not,
