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

fitting AC power outlet as your
TV’s power source.
☐ Insert the plug fully into the
outlet. If it is loose, it may cause
arcing and result in a fire.
☐ Do not overload the same AC
power outlet.
Unplugging the AC power cord from the wall
outlet will completely remove power from the
TV.
☐ 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.
☐ For energy conservation and safety reasons,
practice unplugging the AC power cord
from the AC power outlet.
US

observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a
dark ambient without an input source or
with a blank screen. This condition is
normal and not a malfunction of the TV.
Changing the Picture mode, Backlight
setting, enabling the Light Sensor (if
applicable), or turning on the Power
Management will improve this condition.
☐ To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not
expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.
☐ Do 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.
☐ If the TV is used in a cold place, the picture
may smear or become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena
improve as the temperature rises.
☐ Ghosting may occur when still pictures are
displayed continuously. It should disappear
after a few moments.
☐ The LCD screen and enclosure get warm
when the TV is in use. This is not a
malfunction.
☐ Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile
material on the LCD screen.
☐ Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or
plastic material to the LCD screen.
Broken screen panel
Do not throw anything at the
LCD screen and its edges as the
impact can cause the LCD screen
glass to crack, break or shatter.
☐ If damage occurs to the LCD
panel, small traces of liquid crystal
sandwiched between the glass may be found
on scattered broken glass.
☐ Do 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.
☐ If 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.
☐ 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.
☐ 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
☐ 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.
CAUTION
☐ Some people may experience discomfort
(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while
watching 3D video images or playing
stereoscopic 3D games. Sony recommends
that all viewers take regular breaks while
watching 3D video images or playing
stereoscopic 3D games. The length and
frequency of necessary breaks will vary
from person to person. You must decide
what works best. If you experience any
discomfort, you should stop watching the
3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D
games until the discomfort ends; consult a
doctor if you believe necessary. The vision
of young children (especially those under
six years old) is still under development.
Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician
or eye doctor) before allowing young
children to watch 3D video images or play
stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should
supervise young children to ensure they
follow the recommendations listed above.
