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.
On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)
•You may see some bright spots of red, blue or green remain, or dark spots appear on the screen. These do not indicate malfunction. Although the plasma display panel is manufactured with extremely high precision technology, it can generate a few dark or bright pixels. Dark spots on the edge of the screen, or striped color and brightness irregularities do not indicate malfunction.
•Do not display the same still image on the screen for a long time. Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part of the panel. Use the screen saver function to equalize use of the screen display.
•Because of the way it is made, when this plasma display panel is used in places with low air pressure, such as at high altitudes, a buzzing or humming noise may emanate from the unit.
Precautions
•If you continue to display the same image on the screen for a long period of time, part of that image may burn into the screen and leave a ghosting image behind. To avoid this, please use the screen saver function provided to equalize use over the entire screen. If ghosting occurs, use the screen saver function, or use some kind of video or imaging software to provide constant movement on the screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs,it may become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will never completely disappear.
•To protect the plasma display, this unit will not accept commands from the Remote Commander or from the function buttons on the unit for a certain period of time after the unit has been switched ON/ STANDBY. After one of these operations, wait about 5 seconds before entering a command.
On cleaning
•Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the display.
•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.
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
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 (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.

Notes on Image Retention
If the 1– 5images (below) are displayed for an extended period of time, image retention (afterimage) in areas of the screen may result due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display Panel. It is
possible to reduce image retention by following steps
A– D.
Situations which can result in burn-in and picture retention
1Black bars at the top and bottom that appear
with wide video source (Letter box picture)
2Black bars to the left and right that appear with 4:3 video source (conventional TV broadcast)
3Video game sources
4DVD on-screen menu displays
5On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of connected equipment such as DSS, Cable box, video decks, etc.
Precautions to avoid/reduce burn-in and picture retention
AUse the SCREEN SAVER function.
BAvoid displaying channel numbers, on-screen menus etc., of connected equipment such as DSS, Cable box, video decks, etc. To erase channel numbers, on-screen menus, refer to the user manual of connected equipment.
CReduce brightness of the picture and/or display video source in Wide Zoom or Full Mode.
D“Pic. Inversion” and “All White” of “SCREEN SAVER” are effective in burn-in or after image reduction. However, the burn-in or after image cannot be completely removed once they occur.
Notes on “Pic. Inversion (Picture Inversion)” of “SCREEN SAVER”
If the displayed image appears as an image like a film negative, “Pic. Inversion (Picture Inversion)” of “SCREEN SAVER” may be set to “Auto” or “On.” To return to a normal image, select “Off” or reset the specified time in “Auto.”
Pic. Inversion (Picture Inversion) inverts the tint of the picture (Example: white to black, black to white) and corrects the image retention (afterimage) with displayed image on. The image looks like a film negative during picture inversion. This is not a malfunction.
