Installing the TV to the Wall
Using the optional Wall-Mount Bracket
This TV’s instruction manual only provides the steps to prepare the TV for Wall-Mount installation
before it is installed on the wall.
To Customers:
For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that installation of your TV be
performed by Sony dealers or licensed contractors. Do not attempt to install it yourself.
To Sony Dealers and Contractors:
Provide full attention to safety during the installation, periodic maintenance and examination of this
product.
Sufficient expertise is required for installing this product, especially to determine the strength of the wall for
withstanding the TV’s weight. Be sure to entrust the attachment of this product to the wall to Sony dealers
or licensed contractors and pay adequate attention to safety during the installation. Sony is not liable for
any damage or injury caused by mishandling or improper installation.
Use the Wall-Mount Bracket SU-WL450 (not supplied) to install the TV to the wall.
When installing the Wall-Mount Bracket, also refer to the Operating Instructions and Installation Guide
supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket.
