Precautions

On safety

•A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the rear of the unit.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.

• To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•When you install the unit on the floor, be sure to use the optional stand.

On installation

•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

•Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

•When you install multiple equipment with the unit, the following problems, such as malfunction of the Remote Commander, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending on the position of the unit and other equipment.

Precautions

• If you display a still image for a long time, ghosting may occur. This will disappear as time passes.

• The panel surface or the cabinet may warm up during use. This does not indicate a malfunction.

On cleaning the display

The panel surface

•Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the display.

• The LCD panel surface has been given a special finish. Avoid touching the LCD screen. When cleaning the panel face, wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth.

•Never use rubbing alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning. They may damage the finish of the panel face.

•When using a chemically treated cloth for cleaning, follow the directions.

• Spraying the unit with volatile solvents (such as an insecticide,) or allowing the unit come into prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products may remove the coating or spoil the unit.

The cabinet

•Gently wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth. Wipe off grimy stains using a cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent, then wipe the area again using a dry, soft cloth.

•Never use rubbing alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning. They may damage the finish of the cabinet or can remove the markings on it.

On the LCD panel

•You may see some bright spots of red, blue or green, or dark spots appearing on the screen. These do not indicate a malfunction. Although the LCD panel is manufactured with extremely high precision technology, it can generate a few dark or bright pixels.

•Keeping the LCD panel facing toward the sun for a long time will damage the panel. Take this into account when you install the unit outdoor or by a window.

•Do not push, scratch or put a heavy weight on the panel. These can cause irregularities in the screen or a malfunction of the LCD panel.

•You may find the screen looks darker or an afterimage occurs when using the unit in a colder environment. These do not indicate a malfunction. The screen will return to normal operation as the temperature rises.

Notes on handling and cleaning the display panel

The display panel’s special surface finish should be treated with care when cleaning or handling the TV. When cleaning it, use a soft cleaning cloth to avoid touching the panel directly.

On repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit, repack it as illustrated on the carton.

If you have any questions on this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealers.

Caution

Provide an ample amount of space around the display

•When you use the display, make sure there is more space around the display than that shown in the figure below. This will allow for proper ventilation.

• The ambient temperature must be 0 °C to +35 °C (32 °F to 95 °F).

•When installing the display horizontally, use the display stand SU-42FW/32FW (not supplied) as a stand.

•Regarding the installation of hardware such as brackets, screws, or bolts, we cannot specify the products. Actual installation is up to the authorized local dealers. Consult with qualified Sony personnel for installation.

•While the unit is on, a certain amount of heat builds up inside. This can cause burns. Avoid touching the top or rear of the unit when it is powered on or just after it has entered standby mode.
