• If the surface of the TV set cracks, do not touch it until you have unplugged the mains lead. Otherwise electric shock may result.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal and mercury. The fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain mercury. Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

When not in use

• If you will not be using the TV set for several days, the TV set should be disconnected from the mains for environmental and safety reasons.

• As the TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the TV set is just turned off, pull the plug from the mains to disconnect the TV set completely.

• However, some TV sets may have features that req uire the TV set to be left in standby to work correctly.

For children

• Do not allow children to climb on the TV set.

• Keep small accessories out of the reach of children, so that they are not mistakenly swallowed.

If the following problems occur...

Turn off the TV set and unplug the mains lead immediately if any of the following problems occur. Ask your dealer or Sony service centre to have it checked by qualified service personnel.

When:

– Mains lead is damaged. – Poor fitting of mains socket. – TV set is damaged by being dropped, hit or having

something thrown at it.

– Any liquid or solid object falls through openings in the

cabinet.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from mains socket before cleaning. To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.

Using HDMI control

The HDMI control function allows equipment to control each other using HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) specified by HDMI. You can perform interlocked control operations between Sony HDMI control compatible equipment such as a TV, DVD recorder with hard disk and audio system by connecting the equipment with HDMI cables. Be sure to correctly connect and set the compatible equipment to use the HDMI control function.

To connect the HDMI control compatible equipment

Connect the compatible equipment and the TV with an HDMI cable. When connecting an audio system, in addition to the HDMI cable, be sure to also connect the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) socket of the TV and the audio system using an optical audio cable. For details, see page 16.

To make the HDMI control settings

HDMI control must be set on both the TV side and the connected equipment side. See “HDMI Set-up” on page 28 for the TV side settings. See the operating instructions of the connected equipment for setting details.
