Carrying the TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount it 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 and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the instructions attached to the TV unit.

Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

 Carry the TV with an adequate number of people; larger size TV s require two or more people.  Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damages.  Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation if it is installed against a wall or in an enclosed area.  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 temperatu re 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.

 Be sure to hold the bottom of the panel, and not the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill

area. Do not compress the panel's spea ker grill area.

 Do not lift the TV from the bottom center.

Preparation for a Table-Top Stand

Follow the assembling steps required to place on a TV stand (except model, KDL-52V5100).

1) Remove the Table-Top Stand from the car ton and the four screws from the bag attached to the TableTop Stand. For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the screws provided with the TV.

2) Place the Table-Top Stand on a level and stable surface.

3) Gently slide the TV unit onto the neck of the Table-Top Stand and align the screw hole s.

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 TableTop Stand.

4) Use the supplied screws to attach the TV unit to the Table-Top Stand (refer to the “Attaching th e TableTop Stand” flyer). If an electric screwdriver is used, set the torque to tighten at approximately 1.5 N·m, 15 Kgf·cm.

Securing the TV (Page 1)

Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the T V from toppling over. Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death.

Prevent the TV from Toppling Over

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 AC power cord and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.

Use a Sony TV Stand

Use a Sony specified TV stand and follow the instruction manual provid ed with the Sony TV stand. If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider the following recommended measures.

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

Secure the Stand for the TV

Make sure the TV stand can adequately suppor t the weight of the TV. Use two angle braces (not supplied) to secure the stand. For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware to:

z Attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud. z Attach the other side to the TV stand.

Secure the TV to the Stand

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

z M4 × 20 machine screw(screwed into the TV’s Table-Top Stand) z A screw or similar (attach it to the TV stand) z 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 Sup port Belt Kit.

Contact Sony Customer Support to purchase the optional Suppo rt Belt Kit by providing your TV model name. For United States call: 1-800-488-7669 or visit: www.sony.com/accessories For Canada call: 1-877-899-7669

Securing the TV (Page 3)

Anchor the TV to the Wall

Use the hardware listed below (not supplied):

 Two M6 × 12-16 mm anchor bolts (screw into the top-most wall-mount holes located on th e rear of

the TV)

 Rope or chain (attach to one M6 anchor bolt)  Wall-anchor (attach to the wall stud) strong enough to support the weight of the TV (pass the rope

through the wall-anchor, then attach to the other M6 anchor bolt)

Securing the TV to the stand without securing it and the stand to the wall provides minimum protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, follow all three measures recommended above.
