INSTALLATION
Apparatus connected to the protective
earthing of the building installation
through the mains connection or through
other apparatus with a connection to
protective earthing - and to a television
distribution system using coaxial cable,
may in some circumstances create a fire
hazard. Connection to a television
distribution system therefore has to be
provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain
frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN

places subject to extreme
temperature, such as in
direct sunlight, near
a radiator or a heating vent.
The TV may overheat in such
conditions which can cause
deformation of the enclosure
and/or TV malfunction.
☐ Do not install the TV in a
place exposed to direct air
conditioning; moisture may
condense inside and may
cause TV malfunction.
☐ Do not install the TV where it may be
exposed to mechanical vibration.
☐ Do not install the TV where insects may
enter.
☐ Do not install the TV so
that it protrudes into an

Wall-mount use
☐ Wall-mount installation
requires the use of a
Wall-Mount Bracket. When
installing or removing the
TV and the Wall-Mount Bracket, be sure

AC POWER CORD
☐ Do not touch the AC power
cord and its plug with wet
hands as it may cause electric
shock.
☐ When disconnecting the
AC power cord, grasp the
plug and disconnect from
the wall outlet first. Do not
pull by the cord.
☐ Keep the power cord away from heat
sources.
A TV set with a three-wire grounding type
AC power cord plug must be connected to
an AC power outlet with a protective
earthing connection (only applicable for
Class I product).
☐ Do not convert or damage the AC power
cord.
☐ Consult your electrician to have the

cord with your TV; no brand
substitution is allowed.
☐ Do not use AC power cord supplied with
the TV with any other equipment.
☐ Never use a damaged AC
power cord. A damaged AC
power cord can cause a
short-circuit, which may
result in a fire or electric
shock.

fitting AC power outlet as your
TV’s power source.
☐ Insert the plug fully into the
outlet. If it is loose, it may
cause arcing and result in a
fire.
US

☐ Do not overload the same
AC power outlet.
Unplugging the AC power cord
from the wall outlet will completely remove
power from the TV.
☐ As the TV set is not disconnected from
the AC power cord when the TV set is
just turned off, pull the plug from the
AC power outlet to disconnect the TV
set completely.

reach.
Use only the specified accessories with this
T V.
Volume Adjustment
☐ When using headphones,
adjust the volume to avoid
excessive audio levels from
causing possible hearing
loss.
SCREEN (For LCD TV only):
☐ Although the LCD screen is made with
high-precision technology and has
effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black
dots or bright points of light (red, blue,
or green) may appear constantly on the
LCD screen. This is a structural property
of the LCD panel and is not a
malfunction.
☐ The LCD screen is made with high-
precision technology and to achieve a
high level of performance and picture
quality, this TV’s backlight setting is set
to maximize the brightness of the TV.
However, uneven brightness may be
observed when the LCD TV is viewed in
a dark ambient without an input source
or with a blank screen. This condition is
normal and not a malfunction of the TV.
Changing the Picture mode, Backlight
setting, enabling the Light Sensor (if
applicable), or turning on the Power
Management will improve this condition.
☐ To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do
not expose the LCD screen to direct
sunlight.
☐ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen,
or place objects on top of the TV. The
images may be uneven or the LCD panel
may be damaged.
☐ If the TV is used in a cold place, the
picture may smear or become dark. This
does not indicate a failure. These
phenomena improve as the temperature
rises.
☐ Ghosting may occur when still pictures
are displayed continuously. It should
disappear after a few moments.
☐ The LCD screen and enclosure get warm
when the TV is in use. This is not a
malfunction.
☐ Avoid spraying insect repellent with
volatile material on the LCD screen.
☐ Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or
plastic material to the LCD screen.
OLED SCREEN (For OLED TV only):
☐ Although the OLED screen is made with
high-precision technology and 99.99%
or more of the pixels are effective, black
dots may appear or bright points of light
(white, red, blue, or green) may appear
constantly on the OLED screen. This is a
structural property of the OLED screen
and is not a malfunction.
☐ To avoid damaging the OLED screen, do
not expose the OLED screen to direct
sunlight.
☐ Do not push or scratch the OLED
screen, or place objects on top of this TV
set. The image may be uneven or the
OLED screen may be damaged.

Broken screen panel (For LCD TV
only):
Do not throw anything at the
LCD screen and its edges as
the impact can cause the LCD
screen glass to crack, break or
shatter.
☐ If damage occurs to the LCD panel,
small traces of liquid crystal sandwiched
between the glass may be found on
scattered broken glass.
☐ Do not touch the broken glass with bare
hands. As with any broken glass pieces,
avoid skin contact and exposure to your
eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with
liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as
these may have an adverse effect on
some people. The contacted area should
be rinsed thoroughly with water. If
conditions persist, see your doctor.
☐ If the surface of the TV cracks, do not
touch the TV until you have unplugged
the AC power cord. Otherwise this may
cause an electric shock.
Broken screen panel (For OLED TV
only):
Do not throw anything at the
TV set. The screen glass may
break by the impact and cause

☐ Do not touch the broken
glass with bare hands. As with any
broken glass pieces, avoid skin contact
and exposure to your eyes or mouth.
☐ If the surface of the TV cracks, do not
touch the TV until you have unplugged
the AC power cord. Otherwise this may
cause an electric shock.
SERVICING
Do not use the TV if you
suspect the TV is
damaged or if the TV is
damaged.
☐ Do not attempt to
service the TV
yourself since opening
the cabinet may
expose you to
dangerous voltage levels or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
☐ If replacement parts are
required, acquire a written
certification from the service
technician which states that
adequate replacement parts
with the same or similar characteristics
as the original parts have been used.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in
a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check
☐ Upon completion of any
TV servicing or repair, ask
the service technician to
perform routine safety
checks as specified by Sony
and to certify that the TV is safe to
operate. Have a qualified service
technician dispose of the TV if it is not
safe to operate.
Optional Equipment
