and frequency of necessary breaks

will vary from person to person. You

must decide what works best. If you

experience any discomfort, you

should stop watching the 3D video

images or playing stereoscopic 3D

games until the discomfort ends;

consult a doctor if you believe

necessary. You should also review (i)

the instruction manual of any other

before allowing young children to

watch 3D video images or play

stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should

supervise young children to ensure

they follow the recommendations

listed above.

• When using the simulated 3D

function, please note that the

displayed image is modified from the

Guidelines for Remote Control

• Point your remote control directly at the

IR sensor located on your TV.

• Make sure that no objects are blocking

the path between the remote control and

the IR sensor on your TV.

• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with

your remote control; try turning off the

fluorescent lamps.

• If you are having problems with the

remote control, reinsert or replace your

batteries and make sure that they are

correctly inserted.

Before 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. 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 maybe also a hexagon wrench

(supplied with some models) and the

supplied screws to complete the task. Look

for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction

leaflet.

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.

• Ensure your TV has adequate

ventilation, see page 18.

• 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.

• Ensure that there are no objects in front

of the TV.

• Do not expose the Presence Sensor to

direct sunlight or other strong light, as

malfunction may occur.

1: Attaching the Table-Top

Stand

Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand

instruction leaflet for proper attachment.

• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the

frame around the screen.

• Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC

power cord when you install the TV unit to the

Table-Top Stand.

For KDL-55/46HX72x,

KDL-55/46/40/32EX72x and

KDL-55/46/40EX62x

1 Place the TV unit on the Table-Top

Stand.

• Align the TV from the top, slide it in until the

guide pins cannot be seen.

2 Use the supplied screws to attach the

TV unit to the Table-Top Stand.

• If you use an electric screwdriver, set the

torque at approximately 1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm}.

For KDL-60EX72x

1 Align with the two dowels of the

Table-Top Stand, and gently place

the TV, checking that the f mark is

facing the front.

2 Attach the TV and Table-Top Stand

with the supplied screw and hexagon

wrench.

• Tighten to approximately 3 N·m {30 kgf·cm}.

Getting Started

Detaching the Table-Top

Stand from the TV

To detach the Table-Top Stand from the

TV, remove the screws fixed in step 2.

For KDL-60EX72x, be sure to remove the

screws

for detaching the head when the

Table-Top Stand is not attached to the TV.

• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any

reason other than to install corresponding

accessories on the TV.

• When removing the Table-Top Stand from the

TV, lay the display face down on a stable work

surface that is larger than the TV.

• To prevent damaging the surface of the LCD

display, make sure to place a soft cloth on the

work surface.

• When installing the TV on a wall, remove the

screws from the rear of the TV. The screws and

number of screws depends on the TV model.

(They are fastened in the screw holes for wall

mounting.) Be sure to store the removed

screws in a safe place, keeping them away

from children.

• When attaching the Table-Top Stand again, be

sure to fasten the screws (previously removed)

to the original holes on the rear of the TV.

2: Adjusting the viewing

angle of the TV

This TV can be adjusted within the angles

as illustrated.
