To Sony D e a le r s

The following instructions are for Sony Dealers only. Be
sure to read safety precautions described above and pay
special attention to safety during the installation,
maintenance and checking of this product.

Be sure to install the Wall-Mount
Bracket securely to the wall
following the instructions in this
instruction manual.

If any of the screws are loose or fall out, the
Wall-Mount Bracket may fall and cause
injury or property damage. Be sure to use
the appropriate screws for the material of
the wall and install the unit securely using
four or more 8 mm diameter (or equivalent)
screws.

• If you use the TV installed on the Wall-Mount Bracket for
a long time, the wall behind or above the TV may become
discolored or the wallpaper may come unstuck, depending
on the material of the wall.

• If the Wall-Mount Bracket is removed after installing it on
the wall, the screw holes are left.

• If you have routed 300-ohm feeder cables behind the wall,
we recommend that you change them to 75-ohm coaxial
cables. If it is necessary to continue to use 300-ohm feeder
cables, be sure there is sufficient space available between
the TV and the feeder cables behind the wall before
installing. Consult your licensed contractor regarding an
appropriate location (free from radio noise, etc.) before
installing.
