Getting Started

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 and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the attachment instructions taped to the TV unit.

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 damages.

• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 15.

• 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.

• Read the supplied Safety Booklet for additional safety information.

• When cable connection is completed, be sure to secure the TV to a stable surface or mount it to a wall. The designated Sony wall-mount bracket model and TV stand model name(s) are available under the “Other Information” section of Operating Instructions. For details on securing the TV, see page 16.

Using a Wall-Mount Bracket

All models except the 52 inch (measured diagonally) model can be mounted to a wall using the Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged.

If you are mounting the 52 inch model to a wall, remove the Table-Top Stand. For removing the Table-Top Stand, refer to the instructions attached to the TV.

Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.

Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV (see page 45) and that wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

• Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model. You

may also need to refer to the online Reference Book for additional information for your TV model. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the

mounting hooks to the TV set. (Do not use the screws that are intended for the Table-Top Stand attachment.) The supplied M6 screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length of the screws differ depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model. Use of screws other than those supplied with the bracket may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

• Be sure to store the unused screws and Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you are ready

to attach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children. When you are using the Table-Top Stand, be sure to read page 17.

Getting Started

Connecting the TV

Cable System or VHF/UHF Antenna System

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).

Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)

75-ohm coaxial cable Rear of TV

CABLE/ANTENNA

• 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 easily be affected by radio frequency interference, resulting in signal degradation.

Cable System and VHF/UHF Antenna System

Use an optional A-B RF switch (not supplied) to switch between the cable and over-the-air antenna programming, as shown here. Set the Cable/Antenna setting found under the Settings on the XMB

to Cable or Antenna for the type of input signal you choose.

* The 1080p timing when applied to the HDMI input will be treated as a video timing and not PC timing. This

affects Picture settings and Wide Mode settings. To view PC content set Scene Select to Graphics, Wide Mode to Full, and Display Area to Full Pixel.

• Connect the PC IN jack to the PC using an HD15-HD15 cable with ferrite core (analog RGB) and audio cable (see page 9).

• The TV enters the standby mode automatically when the PC is connected to the TV and no signal has been output from the PC for more than 30 seconds, see the online Reference Book for details.

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).

1 Secure 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 brace

2 Secure the TV to the stand.

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

• M4 × 20 machine screw (screwed into the TV’s Table-Top Stand).

• 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.

3 Anchor the TV to the wall.

Use the hardware listed below (not supplied).

• Two M6 × 14 mm anchor bolts (screw into the top-most wall-mount holes located on the

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).

Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the wall outlet before you begin cleaning your TV.

• Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly moistened

with a solution of mild soap and warm water.

• If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction

provided on the package.

• Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning.

• Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture from cleaning has evaporated.

The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see page 16 and 17). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to insure the TV is securely fastened.

press VOL + to deactivate muting.
