x Guidelines for Remote Control
• Point your remote control directly at the
IR sensor located on your TV.
• Make sure that no objects are blocking
the path between the remote control and
the IR sensor on your TV.
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your
remote control; try turning off the
fluorescent lamps.
• If you are having problems with the
remote control, reinsert or replace your
batteries and make sure that they are
correctly inserted.
Before 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. See
page 33 (Installing the TV to the Wall) if you
want to mount the TV to a wall. 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 (not supplied) and the
supplied screws to complete the task. Look
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 to
avoid damage.
US
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation,
see page 39.
• 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.

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.
US
2 Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as
follows (not supplied):
• M4 machine screw (screwed into the
TV’s rear cover)
• A screw or similar (attach it to the
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.
Recommended Measures
to Secure the TV
Consider the following measures when
securing your TV to a Stand (not supplied).
1 Secure the Stand for the TV.
Make sure the 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 Stand.

differs depending on the rope or chain

3 Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts,
wall anchor and chain (or rope).
4: Bundling the
cables
~
• Do not bundle the AC power cord together
with other cables.
~
• Your TV is shipped with screws attached
to the rear of the TV depending on the TV
model. (They are fastened in the screw
holes for wall mounting.) Be sure to
remove the upper two screws prior to
anchoring the TV to a wall.
• Securing the TV to the stand without
securing the TV and the stand to the wall
provides minimum protection against the
TV toppling over. For further protection,
be sure to follow the three measures
recommended.
