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 19.
• 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.

4: Securing the TV

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.
• Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.
Recommended Measures to Secure the TV
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.

Using a Wall-Mount Bracket

Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged. If the Table-Top Stand is attached to the TV, the TV may require detaching the Table-Top Stand; see “Detaching the Table-Top Stand from the TV” (page 11). Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.
For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed for your TV and the installation should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.
• Refer to “Compatible Wall-Mount Bracket Information” (page 34).
• Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.
• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-mount bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. The supplied screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length of the screws differ depending on the Wall-mount bracket model. Use of screws other than those supplied may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

Setting up the Internet connection

Using the network feature you can connect the TV to the Internet. The setup procedure differs depending on the type of network and LAN router. Before setting up the Internet connection, be sure to set up a LAN router. Check your wireless LAN environment using the following chart.
Wireless LAN
Type 1: Secured network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
The WPS standard makes security of a wireless home network as straightforward as pressing the WPS button on the wireless LAN router. Before setting up a wireless LAN, check the location of the WPS button on the router and verify how to use it. For security purpose, WPS (PIN) provides a PIN code for your router. PIN code is renewed every time you select WPS (PIN).
Secure Wireless LAN?
YES m
Do you use a wireless LAN router compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)?
YES m
Type 1*
Wired LAN
* Type 1 is easier to set up if your router has an
automatic setting button, e.g. Air Station One­Touch Secure System (AOSS). Most of the latest routers have this function. Check your router.
Type 1: Follow the configuration for “Secured Network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)”. Type 2: Follow the configuration for “Secured Network without Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)”. Type 3: Follow the configuration for “Unsecured Network with Any Type of Wireless LAN Router”. Type 4: Follow the configuration for “Wired network setup”.

• 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.
The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see page 15). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is securely fastened.
