NOTICE FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

A moulded plug complying with BS1363 is fitted to this equipment for your safety and

convenience.

Should the fuse in the plug supplied need to be replaced, a 5 AMP fuse approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 (i.e. marked with 2 or @) must be used.

When an alternative type of plug is used it should be fitted with a 5 AMP FUSE, otherwise the

circuit should be protected by a 5 AMP FUSE at the distribution board.

If the plug supplied with this equipment has a detachable fuse cover, be sure to attach the fuse

cover after you change the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover. If you should lose

the fuse cover, please contact your nearest Sony service station.

FUSE

How to replace the fuse

Open the fuse compartment with a blade screwdriver, and replace the fuse.

IMPORTANT

•

If the plug supplied is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and

an appropriate plug fitted in accordance with the following instructions:

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the

coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the

terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol Y or

coloured green or green and yellow.

WARNING

• To prevent shock hazard, do not insert the plug cut off from the mains lead into a socket

outlet. This plug cannot be used and should be destroyed.

• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the set. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing

to qualified personnel only.

Safety Information

All TV’s operate on extremely high voltages. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the safety guidelines indicated in the blue sheet supplied.

•When moving the set two persons are needed. DO NOT push speaker nets placed on the both side of the screen to prevent these parts from deformation and do not grasp the front panels to prevent these parts from breaking off. Support screen bottom with one hand while grasping the top part with the other hand.

•Do not block or cover the ventilation opening placed on the left bottom rear side of the set. For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 cm from the wall.

•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.

• This set incorporates the latest high-precision LCD technology. Even though the highest standards are applied in manufacture it is still possible that a few black dots or bright points (red, green or blue) may be visible on the screen under certain picture conditions. It is not possible to remove them and this is not a fault condition.

• The screen of this set has an anti-reflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation, follow the mentioned below:

• To remove dust from the screen surface, wipe with the suplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth.

• Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. As a safety precaution, unplug the set before cleaning it.

• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.
