Experiencing Stunning HD with Your BRAVIA
TV
To experience the stunning detail of your new BRAVIA TV, you need access to high-definition (HD) programming. Your BRAVIA TV can receive and display HD programming from:
Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna
HD cable subscription
HD satellite subscription
Blu-ray Disc™ player or other HD compatible external equipment
Contact your cable, satellite or HD service provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.
The Four Steps to a Full HD Experience
Set, Sound, Source, and Setup
Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a source of HD programming and a proper connection setup. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, for connecting optional equipment.

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.
6US
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 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.
Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.
Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 28.
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.

Attaching the Table-Top Stand
Note
•If using an electric screwdriver, set the tightening torque at approximately 1.2N·m {12kgf·cm}.
•When detaching the Table-Top Stand, reverse the attaching procedure.
•Be sure the TV is vertical before turning on. To avoid uneven picture uniformity do not power on the TV with the LCD panel facing down.
•When attaching the Table-Top Stand again, be sure to
fasten the screws (previously removed) to the original |

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 TV stand (not supplied).
1Secure the stand for the TV.
Make sure the TV 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 TV stand.
Angle braces (not supplied)
Stand
2Secure the TV to the stand.
Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):
M4 machine screw (screwed into the screw hole of the TV).
A screw or similar (attach it to the TV 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.
