x Guidelines for Remote Control
• Point your remote control directly at the
IR sensor located on your TV.
• Make sure that no objects are blocking
the path between the remote control and
the IR sensor on your TV.
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your
remote control; try turning off the
fluorescent lamps.
• If you are having problems with the
remote control, reinsert or replace your
batteries and make sure that they are
correctly inserted.
Before 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. See
page 21 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) if you
want to mount the TV to a wall. 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.
Getting Started
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation,
see page 22.
• 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.

• Ensure that there are no objects in front
of the TV.

reason other than to install corresponding
accessories on the TV.
• When removing the Table-Top Stand from
the TV, lay the display face down on a stable
work surface that is larger than the TV.
• To prevent damaging the surface of the LCD
display, make sure to place a soft cloth on
the work surface.
• When installing the TV on a wall, remove the
screws from the rear of the TV. (They are
fastened in the screw holes for wall
mounting.) Be sure to store the removed
screws in a safe place, keeping them away
from children.

4: 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.
Angle brace

Recommended Measures
to Secure the TV
Consider the following measures when
securing your TV to a Stand (not supplied).
1 Secure the Stand for the TV.
Make sure the 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:

the wall stud.
• Attach the other side to the Stand.

Using a Wall-Mount
Bracket
• 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.
Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a
Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the
box as packaged. If the Table-Top Stand is
attached to the TV, the TV may require
detaching the Table-Top Stand; see
page 11 (Detaching the Table-Top Stand
from the TV).
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket
before making cable connections.
For product protection and safety
reasons, Sony strongly recommends that
you use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed
for your TV and the installation should be
performed by a Sony dealer or licensed
contractor.
• See page 37 (Compatible optional
accessories information).
• 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.
• 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.
