Precautions

On safety

•A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the back of the unit.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.

•To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•When the unit is installed on the floor, be sure to use the optional stand.

On installation

•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

•Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

•When you install multiple equipment with the unit, the following problems, such as malfunction of the Remote Commander, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending on the position of the unit and other equipment.

On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)

•There may be some tiny black points and/or bright points on the PDP. These points are normal.

•Do not display the same still image on the screen for a long time. Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part of the panel. Use the screen saver function to equalize use of the screen display.

On cleaning

To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers since these will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution, unplug the unit before cleaning it.

On repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another location, repack it as illustrated on the carton.

If you have any questions about this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealer.

•When you use the monitor, make sure there is more space between the edges of the unit and other walls or the ceiling than that shown in the figure below. This will allow for proper ventilation.

•The ambient temperature must be 0

°C to +35 °C

(32 °F to 95 °F).

•Use the SU-42B monitor stand (not supplied) as a

stand.

•The wall should be reinforced to bear at least five times the weight of the monitor (approx. 29.4 kg) plus the wall bracket you are planning to use.

•Regarding installation of hardware such as brackets, screws, and bolts, we cannot specify what to use because actual installation is up to the authorized local dealers. For installation, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

Self-diagnosis Function

The unit has a self-diagnosis function. This function displays the monitor

’s condition based on the pattern shown by the flashing of the STANDBY indicator. The flashing pattern informs you of the monitor

’s current condition. If the STANDBY indicator flashes, check the number of flashes and contact your authorized Sony dealer.

Check the flashing pattern of the STANDBY indicator. The indicator flashes (with an image showing on the monitor) or flashes at intervals of three seconds (with no image showing on the monitor). Count the number of flashes if the indicator flashes at intervals of three seconds. For example, the indicator flashes twice, followed by a three second pause, two more flashes and this pattern repeats. In this case, the count for the number of flashes is two.

Unplug the unit. Inform your authorized Sony dealer of the number of flashes.
