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

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.
