Power Sources
Overloading
This set is designed to
operate on a 220-240V AC
supply only. Take care
not to connect too many
appliances to the same
mains socket as this could
result in fire or electric shock.
Mains
Do not use a poor fitting mains socket.
Insert the plug fully into the mains. If
it is loose, it may cause arcing and
result in fire. Contact your electrician
to have the mains socket changed.
Moisture
Do not touch the mains lead with a
wet hand. If you plug/unplug the
mains lead with a wet hand, it may
cause electric shock.
Lightning storms
For your own safety, do not
touch any part of the set,
mains lead or aerial lead
during lightning storms.
Mains lead

Pull out the mains
lead by the plug. Do
not pull on the mains
lead itself.
Wiring
Unplug the mains lead when wiring cables. Be
sure to unplug the mains lead for your safety,
when hooking up.
Cleaning
Clean the mains plug
regularly. If the plug is
covered with dust and it picks
up moisture, its insulation
may deteriorate and result in
fire. Unplug the mains plug and clean it
regularly.

Safety Information
Mains lead and display
cable
If you damage the mains
lead or display cable, it may
result in fire or electric
shock.
• Do not pinch, bend, or
twist the cable
excessively. The core
lines may be bared or
cut, causing a short circuit which may in fire
or electric shock.
• Do not convert or damage the mains lead or
display cable.
• Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead or
display cable. Do not pull the mains lead or
display cable.
• Keep the mains lead or display cable away from
heat sources.
• Be sure to grasp the plug when disconnecting the
mains lead.
Refer to the operating instructions when
disconnecting the display cable. If the mains lead or
display cable is damaged, stop using it and ask your
dealer or Sony service centre to exchange it.
When not in use
For environmental
and safety reasons,
it is recommended
that the set is
switched off when
not in use - not left
in standby mode. Disconnect from the mains.

Precautions
On viewing the TV comfortably
• To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times of the
screen’s vertical length away from the TV set.
• View the TV in a moderate light room, as viewing the TV in poor light taxes your eyes. Watching
the screen continuously for long periods of time can also tax your eyes.
On installing the TV set
Installing the display unit
Use the specified wall-mount bracket or stands.
Installing the media receiver unit
Leave enough space for ventilation between the exhaust fan in the rear of unit and the wall.
• Do not install the display unit in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct
sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent. If the unit is exposed to extreme temperature, the unit
may heat up and it may cause deformations of the casing or cause the unit to malfunction.
• After transporting the display unit 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 unit. In this
case let the moisture evaporate before using the unit.
• 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.
• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the switch is in Off position. To disconnect the
set completely, pull the plug from the mains.
On volume adjustment
• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time.
Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may
result.
On image retention
• If the following images are displayed for an extended period time, image retention (afterimage) in
areas of the screen may result due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display Panel.
– Black bars at the top and bottom that appear with a wide video source (Letterbox picture).
– Black bars to the left and right that appear with a 4:3 video source (conventional TV broadcasts).
– Video game sources
– PC images
– DVD on-screen menu displays
– On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of connected equipment such as Set top box, Cable
modem, VCR, etc.
The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Live” mode or has a high contrast setting. This image cannot
be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of image retention do not leave the TV set
operating on such a picture, or programme for a long time, use the “Screen Saver” function or lower
the contrast setting. Repeated extended daily usage of the same image, or programme can also
result in this occurrence. IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE SONY WARRANTY.
• To reduce image retention, this TV set has the “Screen Saver” function. The default setting of the
“Orbit” function in “Screen Saver” is “On.”
• The “Screen Saver” function prevents and reduces image retention.
On image
With extensive use of this TV set in 4:3 mode, the 4:3 screen area might become darker within a 16:9
panel. To avoid this problem, the “Smart” picture mode should be used.
12
Safety Information
(continued)
On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)
Please note that the PDP screen is made with high-precision technology. However, black points or
bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the PDP screen, and irregular
coloured stripes or brightness may appear on the PDP screen. This is not a malfunction.
On handling the remote control
• Handle the remote control with care. Do not drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind onto it.
• Do not place the remote control in a location near a heat source, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, or in a damp room.
On handling and cleaning the screen surface of the display unit
The screen of this display unit has an anti-reflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation,
follow the points mentioned below. Do not push on or scratch with hard objects, or throw anything at
the screen. The screen may be damaged.
• Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the media receiver unit from the mains before
cleaning.
• Do not touch the display panel after operating continuously for along period as the display panel
becomes hot.
• The screen of this display unit has an anti-reflection screen coating. We recommend that the screen
surface is touched as little as possible.
• Clean the screen with the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine. This
type of contact may result in damage to the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
• Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the media receiver unit from the mains before
cleaning.
• Clean the cabinet with the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution.
• Note that material deterioration or screen coating degradation may occur if the display unit is
exposed to a volatile solvent, such as alcohol, thinner, benzine or insecticide, or if prolonged contact
is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over a period of time and the accumulated dust may
make the cooling function of the built-in fan less effective. To prevent this, we recommend
removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
Important Notice
When used at an altitude of greater than 2400m or 7891 feet (air pressure less than 750hPa), this
Plasma Display Panel may generate a low buzzing sound as a result of the difference between
the interior and exterior air pressure of the panels. This is not considered a defect and is not
covered under by the Sony Warranty. This buzzing sound is an inherent characteristic of any
Plasma Display Panel.
