Wall Wall

Mains lead

Handle the mains lead and socket as follows in order to avoid any risk of fire, electrical shock or damage and/or injuries:

– Connect the TV set using a three-wire grounding type

mains plug to a mains socket with a protective earthing

connection. – Use only Sony mains leads, not those of other brands. – Insert the plug fully into the mains socket. – Operate the TV set on a 220–240 V AC supply only. – When wiring cables, be sure to unplug the mains lead

for your safety and take care not to catch your feet on

the cables. – Disconnect the mains lead from the mains socket before

working on or moving the TV set. – Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.

Continued

– Unplug the mains plug and clean it regularly. If the plug

is covered with dust and it picks up moisture, its insulation may deteriorate, which could result in a fire.

Notes

• Do not use the supplied mains lead on any other equipment.

• Do not pinch, bend, or twist the mains lead excessively. The core conductors may be exposed or broken.

• Do not modify the mains lead.

• Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead.

• Do not pull on the mains lead itself when disconnecting the mains lead.

• Do not connect too many appliances to the same mains socket.

• Do not use a poor fitting mains socket.

Prohibited Usage

Do not install/use the TV set in locations, environments or situations such as those listed below, or the TV set may malfunction and cause a fire, electrical shock, damage and/or injuries.

Location:

Outdoors (in direct sunlight), at the seashore, on a ship or other vessel, inside a vehicle, in medical institutions, unstable locations, near water, rain, moisture or smoke.

Environment:

Places that are hot, humid, or excessively dusty; where insects may enter; where it might be exposed to mechanical vibration, near flammable objects (candles, etc). The TV set shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the TV.

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.

Situation:

Do not use when your hands are wet, with the cabinet removed, or with attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Disconnect the TV set from mains socket and aerial during lightning storms.

Broken pieces:

• Do not throw anything at the TV set. The screen glass may break by the impact and cause serious injury.

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

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 require the TV set to be left in standby to work correctly. The instructions in this manual will inform you if this applies.

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.

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.

• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from its table stand.
