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.

Replace them with new ones.

• To avoid damage from possible battery leakage,
remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the
Remote Commander for a fairly long time.

When the Remote Commander does not work

Check that the POWER/STANDBY indicator lights
up and the Control Mode in the Remote menu is not

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.

This function shows the display’s condition based on
the pattern shown by the flashing of the POWER/
STANDBY indicator. The flashing pattern informs
you of the display’s current condition.
If the POWER/STANDBY indicator flashes, check
the number of flashes and contact your authorized
Sony dealer.

1 Check the flashing pattern of the POWER/

STANDBY indicator.
The indicator flashes (with an image showing on
the display) or flashes at intervals of three seconds
(with no image showing on the display).
Count the number of flashes if the indicator
flashes at intervals of three seconds. For example,
the indicator flashes twice, followed by a three
second pause, two more flashes and this pattern
repeats. In this case, the count for the number of
flashes is two.

2 Unplug the unit.

Inform your authorized Sony dealer of the number
of flashes.

Enter the password that is set for the display unit
when the dialog box prompting you to enter the
password appears.
If you enter the wrong password three times, you
cannot operate the display unit any further. In this
situation, press the 1POWER switch to turn off the
display unit.
