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.
Angle brace

2 Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as follows
(not supplied):
• A machine screw (screwed into the TV’s
Table-Top Stand)

40EX620 and KDL-46/40/32EX729
Use M4 screw
• A screw or similar (attach it to the Stand)
• Rope or chain (strong enough to support
the weight of the TV). Make sure that
there is no excess slack in the rope or
chain.

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”.
