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.
|
StartedGetting |
• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen. |

•Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 16.
•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.

Attaching the Table-Top Stand
•Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet for proper attachment.
•For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
1Place the TV with its screen facing down on a level and stable surface covered with a thick and soft cloth.
2Fix the TV to the Table-Top Stand using the supplied screws.

• Hold the Table-Top Stand with one hand to avoid it dropping when attaching. |
|
• This TV is very heavy, so two people should place the TV onto thick and soft cloth. |
|
• If using an electric screwdriver, set the tightening torque at approximately 1.5 N·m (15 kgf·cm). |
|
• Be sure to securely tighten the supplied screws, otherwise the TV may fall down. |
|
• Use an appropriate screwdriver to attach the screws tightly without damaging the screw head. |
|
• Please ensure the AC power cord is away from the Table-Top Stand installation location when |
Getting |
screws other than those used when attaching the Table-Top Stand. Do not power on the TV with |
|
you attach the Table-Top Stand. |
|
• When detaching the Table-Top Stand, reverse the attaching procedure. Do not remove any |
|

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.
An alternative way to secure the TV is with an optional Sony Support Belt Kit.
The Sony Support Belt Kit is available as an optional accessory, depending on your TV model.
