Wall-mount use

s Wall-mount installation requires the use of a Wall-Mount Bracket. When installing or removing the TV and the Wall-Mount Bracket, be sure to use qualified contractors. If not properly secured during installation or removal from the Wall-Mount Bracket, the TV may fall and cause serious injury.

sBe sure to follow the installation guide supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when installing the TV.

sBe sure to attach the brackets with the specified parts supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket.

sDo not hang the TV from the ceiling. It may fall and cause serious injury.

sDo not hang anything on the TV.

sDo not allow children to climb on the TV.

AC POWER CORD

s Do not touch the AC power cord and its plug with wet hand, it may cause electric shock.

s When disconnecting the AC power cord, grasp the plug and disconnect from the wall outlet first. Do not pull by the cord.

s Keep the power cord away from heat sources.

A TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC power cord plug must be connected to an AC power outlet with a protective earthing connection.

sDo not convert or damage the AC power cord.

sConsult your electrician to have the outlet changed to suit your TV.

Subjecting the AC power cord to wear and/or abuse can damage the AC power cord and your TV.

sDo not place the TV where the power cord can be easily pinched, bent, twisted, or catch your feet.

sDo not allow anything to rest on or roll over the cord.

sBefore connecting cables, be sure to unplug the AC power cord for your safety.

sDo not move the TV with the AC power cord (or other cables such as audio and video) connected.

sUse only an original Sony AC power cord with your TV; no brand substitution is allowed.

sDo not use AC power cord supplied with the TV with any other equipment.

s Never use a damaged AC power cord. A damaged AC power cord can cause a short-circuit, which may result in a fire or electric shock.

Do not use a damaged or poorly fitting AC power outlet as your TV’s power source.

s Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it is loose, it may cause arcing and result in a fire.

s Do not overload the same AC power outlet.

Unplugging the AC power cord from the wall outlet will completely remove power from the TV.

s During lightning storms or when the TV is left unattended and unused for extended periods of time, the AC power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet. This will avoid possible damage to your TV. Also unplug the antenna to prevent damage to the TV.

sFor energy conservation and safety reasons, practice unplugging the AC power cord from the AC power outlet.

Clean the AC power plug

Unplug the AC power plug and clean it occasionally to avoid dust from accumulating. While cleaning, look for signs of damage. A damaged AC power cord should never be used.

ACCESSORIES

Keep small accessories out of children’s reach.

Use only the specified accessories with this TV.

Volume Adjustment

s When using headphones, adjust the volume to avoid excessive audio levels from causing possible hearing loss.

BATTERIES

Your remote control batteries are consumables.

sTo preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to your local laws or regulations.

sDo not dispose of batteries in a fire.

sDo not short-circuit, disassemble or overheat the batteries.

sReplace only with the same or equivalent type of batteries. Using incorrect replacement batteries can lead to an explosion.

LCD SCREEN

sAlthough the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen.

This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.

sThe LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and to achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this TV’s backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a dark ambient without an input source or blank screen. This condition is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode, Backlight setting, or turning on the Power Management will improve this condition.

sTo avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.

sDo not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on top of the TV. The images may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.

sIf the TV is used in a cold place, smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena improve as the temperature rises.

sGhosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It should disappear after a few moments.

sThe LCD screen and enclosure get warm when the TV is in use. This is not a malfunction.

sAvoid spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the LCD screen.

sAvoid prolonged contact with rubber or plastic material to the LCD screen.

Broken screen panel

Do not throw anything at the TV as the impact can cause the LCD screen glass to crack, break or scatter.

sIf damage occurs to the LCD panel, small traces of liquid crystal sandwiched between the glass may be found on scattered broken glass.

sDo not touch the broken glass with bare hands. As with any broken glass pieces, avoid skin contact and exposure to your eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these may have an adverse effect on some people. The contacted area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions persist, see your doctor.

sIf the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch the TV until you have unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result.

SERVICING

Do not use the TV if you suspect the TV is damaged or if the TV is damaged.

s Do not attempt to service the TV yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage levels or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

s If replacement parts are required, acquire a written certification from the service technician which states that adequate replacement parts with the same or similar characteristics as the original parts have been used. Unauthorized substitutions may result in a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.

Safety check

s Upon completion of any TV servicing or repair, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks as specified by Sony and to certify that the TV is safe to operate. Have a qualified service technician dispose of the TV if it is not safe to operate.

For customers in the United States

Welcome to the World of ®

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color Television. This manual is for model KDL-40S4100/KDL-46S4100/KDL-52S4100. Be sure to check the supplied accessories against the list on page 43.

Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio

You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference.

High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standarddefinition TV.

16:9 (high-definition) source

Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen, maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.

4:3 (standard-definition) source

Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD sources.

You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 24, 29 and 30).

You can enjoy high-definition and standard-definition digital programming (if available in your area) along with standard-definition analog programming.

This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).

It is strongly recommended that you connect the CABLE/ANTENNA input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio frequency interference, resulting in signal degradation.
