Assembling the Floating Stand

For Sony dealers

The following instructions are for service personnel only. Read these instructions carefully for safe installation and maintenance.

Tip

Lay the packing box of the Floating Stand, etc., on the floor and place the pillars on the box with their rear sides (the side the cable cover is to be attached to) facing up. Set the box high enough that the bottom plate can stand upright to stabilize assembly, as illustrated below. Also, if you spread the cushioning sheet on the floor, damage to the floor can be avoided.

Attach the bottom plate to the pillars and secure them with screws.

1 Place the bottom plate and the pillars so that the protruding part of the pillars and the concave part of the

bottom plate unite.

2 Tighten all the screws to halfway, and then tighten each firmly.

If you use an impact driver or an electric screwdriver with the torque setting out of the specified range, screws may be excessively tightened, which may damage the screws or product. The stand may fall and serious injury may result.
