Setup Guide, enclosed separately, for connecting optional equipment.
You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth
movement, and high-impact visuals from
1080 HD signals as shown here.

Getting Started
Setting Up Your TV
Your TV is packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right
away. 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 and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the
attachment instructions provided with the TV.
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.
KDL-32BX300
KDL-22BX300
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 14.
• 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.
