Safety Information

This set is to operate on a 220240V AC supply only. Take care not to connect too many appliances to the same power socket as this could result in ﬁre or electric shock.

Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of the TV. Refer to qualiﬁed service personnel only.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the TV. For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10cm all around the set.

For environmental and safety reasons, it is recommended that the TV set is not left in standby mode when not in use. Disconnect from the mains.

For your own safety, do not touch any part of the TV, power lead or aerial lead during lightning storms.

Never place the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places. Do not install the TV where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations.

Never push objects of any kind into the set as this could result in a ﬁre or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set. If any liquid or solid object does fall through, do not operate the TV. Have it checked immediately by qualiﬁed personnel.

To prevent ﬁre or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

To prevent ﬁre, keep inﬂammable objects or naked lights (eg candles) away from the TV.

Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, lightly dampened cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, or antistatic spray. As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.

Place the TV on a secure stable stand. Do not allow children to climb on to it. Do not place the TV on its side or face up.

Safety Information

Pull out the power lead by the plug. Do not pull on the power lead itself.

Unplug the power lead before moving the TV. Avoid uneven surfaces, quick steps or excessive force. If the set has been dropped or damaged, have it checked immediately by qualiﬁed service personnel.

Take care not to place heavy objects on the power lead as this could result in damage. We recommend you wind any

excess lead around the holders provided on the rear of the TV.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the TV with items such as curtains or newspapers etc.

Additional Safety Information

• This set should only be moved by two or

more people. If the set needs to be transported, it should be protected to insure that it is not subject to shock, vibration or excessive force.

• The slots and openings in the cabinet and in

the back and bottom are provided for the necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

• After transporting the set directly from a cold

to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the set. Let the moisture evaporate before using the set.

• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the

screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.

• The screen of this display unit has an anti-

reflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation, follow the points mentioned below. Do not push on or scratch with hard objects, or throw anything at the screen. The screen may be damaged. – Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected

to the media receiver unit from the mains before cleaning.

– Do not touch the display panel after

operating continuously for along period as the display panel becomes hot.

– The screen of this display unit has an anti-

reflection screen coating. We recommend that the screen surface is touched as little as possible.

– Clean the screen with the supplied cleaning

cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

– Never use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine. This type of contact may result in damage to the screen surface.

• The TV set is not disconnected from the

mains when the switch is in Off position. To disconnect completely the set, pull the plug from the mains.

Note on use in highlands

•

When used at an altitude of greater than 1900 m or 6248 feet (air pressure less than 800hPa), this Plasma Display Panel may generate a low buzzing sound as a result of the

difference between the interior and exterior air pressure of the panels. This is not considered a defect and is not covered by the Sony Warranty. This buzzing sound is an inherent characteristic of any Plasma display Panel.

Corrosion

Use of this set near the seashore may subject the set to excessive salt, corrosion and internal damage and result in deterioration of the set’s performance. If the set will be subjected to any of these conditions, steps should be taken to reduce the humidity and temperature of the area where the set is located.

On image retention

• If the following images are displayed for an extended period time, image retention (afterimage) in areas of the screen may result due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display Panel. – Black bars at the top and bottom that

appear with a wide video source (Letterbox picture).

– Black bars to the left and right that appear

with a 4:3 video source (conventional TV

broadcasts). – Video game sources – PC images – DVD on-screen menu displays – On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of

connected equipment such as Set top box,

Cable modem, VCR, etc. The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Live” mode or has a high contrast setting. This image cannot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of image retention do not leave the TV set operating on such a picture, or programme for a long time, use the “Screen Saver” function or lower the contrast setting. Repeated extended daily usage of the same image, or programme can also result in this occurrence. IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE SONY WARRANTY.

• To reduce image retention, this TV set has the “Screen Saver” function. The default setting of the “Orbit” function in “Screen Saver” is “On.”

• The “Screen Saver” function prevents and reduces image retention.

• With extensive use of this TV set in 4:3 mode, the 4:3 screen area might become darker within a 16:9 panel. To avoid this problem, the “Smart” picture mode should be used.

Installation

Preventing the TV from Falling Down

Attach the supplied bracket to the rear of the TV, and pass a sturdy cord or chain through it to attach it to a wall or pillar. Consult your dealer when attaching the bracket, since the screws for the bracket also hold the rear cabinet in a place.

of the TV.

Do not remove both screws at the same time as these screws secure the rear cabinet. Never use the TV with the screws removed.

2 Attach the supplied bracket with the screw.

Be sure to use the screw that attaches the rear cabinet. A different screw may damage the TV and result in electric shock.

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach the other bracket. 4 Attach a sturdy cord or chain securely to each

bracket on the rear of the TV.
