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. See
page 40 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) 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 Setup Guide.
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.
Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the
frame around the screen.
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.
Install the TV so that the TV's Table-Top
Stand does not protrudes out from the
Stand (not supplied). If the Table-Top
Stand protrudes out from the Stand, it
may cause TV set to topple over, fall
down, and cause personal injury or
damage to the TV.
US
Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation,
see page 41.
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.
Route all AC power cords and connecting
cables so that they are not accessible to
curious children.

three measures recommended.
Precautions
How to care for your BRAVIA TV
Safety is very important. Please read and
follow the safety documentation (Safety
Booklet) separately provided.
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 spray water or detergent directly on
the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the
screen or exterior parts and enter the TV
set, and may cause damage to the TV set.
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 7). If you have young children or pets
at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is
securely fastened.
