Preparation for Wall-Mount Bracket

This model is ready to be mounted on a wall. For details, see page 22.

• For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your LCD monitor and the wall-mounting of LCD monitor should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

• Sufficient expertise is required in installing this LCD monitor, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the LCD monitor’s weight.

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the WallMount Bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the LCD monitor. The supplied screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the spacer.

The diameter and length of the screws differ depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model. Use of screws other than those supplied may result in internal damage to the LCD monitor set or cause it to fall, etc.

When Installing the Unit Against a Wall or Enclosed Area

Make sure that your LCD Monitor has adequate air circulation. Allow enough space around the unit as shown below. Avoid operating the unit at temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C).

• Inadequate air circulation can lead to overheating of the unit and may cause damage to your unit or cause a fire.

Consider the following for best picture quality

• Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

• Use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery.

• Install the unit in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material.

(Continued)

• When moving the unit from a cold area to a warm area, a sudden room temperature change may cause the unit’s picture to blur or show poor color due to moisture condensation. Should this occur, please wait a few hours to allow the moisture to evaporate before powering on the unit.

Securing the Unit

Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the Unit from toppling over. Unsecured Unit may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death.

Prevent the Unit from Toppling Over

s Secure the Unit to a wall and/or stand. s Do not allow children to play or climb on

furniture and Unit sets.

s Avoid placing or hanging items on the Unit. s Never install the Unit on:

• slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.

• furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

s Install the Unit where it cannot be pulled,

pushed, or knocked over.

s Route all AC power cords and connecting

cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.

Use a Sony TV stand

Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) and follow the instruction manual provided with the Sony TV stand.

If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider the following recommended measures.

Recommended Measures to Secure the Unit

Secure the Stand for the Unit

Make sure the TV stand can adequately support the weight of the Unit. Use two angle braces (not supplied) to secure the stand. For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware to:

• attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.

• attach the other side to the TV stand.

Angle brace

Secure the Unit to the Stand

Use the Stand Support adapter (supplied) and rope or chain.

1 Remove the screw from the Table-Top Stand. 2 Secure the Stand Support adapter to the Table-

Top Stand, then attach the rope or chain to the adapter.

3 Secure the rope or chain to the TV stand (not

supplied). Make sure that there is no excess slack in the rope or chain.

Anchor the Unit to the Wall

Remove the two screws from the top-most wallmount holes located on the rear of the Unit.

Use the hardware listed below (not supplied):

•Two M6 × 10-12 mm anchor bolts (screw into

the top-most wall-mount holes located on the rear of the unit)

• Rope or chain (attach to one M6 anchor bolt)

• Wall-anchor (attach to the wall stud) strong enough to support the weight of the unit (pass the rope through the wall-anchor, then attach to the other M6 anchor bolt)

Condition Explanation/Solution

Certain programs on DVD or other digital sources display a loss of detail, especially during fast-motion or dark scenes

• This is due to the digital compression of the source content used by certain DVDs which may cause your LCD monitor screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. These signal compressions are more visible and are dependent on the clarity and resolution of the unit.

Remote control does not operate

• To determine if the problem is with the remote control or not, press a button on the unit.

• Press VOL +/- to adjust the volume.

• Press TV on the remote control when the button is not light up.

• Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.

• Point the remote control at the remote control sensor located at the front of the unit.

• Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.

• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.
