Securing the TV
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 41 (Installing the TV to the Wall) 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 Setup Guide.
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.
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.
• Install the TV so that the TV's Table-Top
Stand does not protrudes out from the
Stand (not supplied). If the Table-Top
Stand protrudes out from the Stand, it
may cause TV set to topple over, fall
down, and cause personal injury or
damage to the TV.
• Ensure your TV has adequate
ventilation, see page 42.
• 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.
• Route all AC power cords and
connecting cables so that they are not
accessible to curious children.

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:
Attach one side of the angle brace to
the wall stud.
Attach the other side to the Stand.
2 Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as
follows (not supplied):
M6 machine screws (screwed into the
TV's rear cover).
A screw or similar (attach it to the
Stand).
Rope or chain (strong enough to
support the weight of the TV). Make
sure that there is no excess slack in the
rope or chain.
The length of the M6 machine screw
differs depending on the rope or chain
diameter. Please refer to below
illustration.

Precautions
How to care for your BRAVIA TV
Safety is very important. Please read and
follow the safety documentation (Safety
Booklet) separately provided.
Please see below illustration for M6 eye
bolt length.
• Your TV is shipped with screws attached to the
rear of the TV depending on the TV model. (They
are fastened in the screw holes for wall
mounting.) Be sure to remove the upper two
screws prior to anchoring the TV to a wall.
• Securing the TV to the Stand without securing
the TV and the Stand to the wall provides
minimum protection against the TV toppling
over. For further protection, be sure to follow the
three measures recommended.
Unplug the TV and
other connected
equipment from the
wall outlet before you
begin cleaning your
TV.
• Wipe the LCD
screen gently with
a soft cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with
a cloth slightly moistened with a
solution of mild soap and warm water.
• If using a chemically pretreated cloth,
please follow the instruction provided
on the package.
• Never spray water or detergent directly
on the TV set. It may drip to the
bottom of the screen or exterior parts
and enter the TV set, and may cause
damage to the TV set.
• Never use strong solvents such as a
thinner, alcohol or benzine for
cleaning.
• Do not plug in the TV into the wall
outlet until the moisture from cleaning
has evaporated.
• Do not touch the TV if your hand is
covered in any chemical substance
such as hand cream or sunblock.
The TV should also be placed on a stable
surface to prevent it from toppling over
(see page 7). If you have young children or
pets at home, check regularly to ensure the
TV is securely fastened.
