Corrosion
If you use this TV set near the seashore, salt may
corrode metal parts of the TV set and cause
internal damage or fire. It may also shorten the
life of the TV set. If the TV set will be subjected
to none of these conditions, steps should be
taken to reduce the humidity and temperature of
the area where the TV set is located.
Recommended place for the
media receiver unit
Place the media receiver unit on
a stable, level surface.
Otherwise, the media receiver
unit may fall and cause injury.
Cleaning
Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this
TV set. If not, it may result in electric shock.
Keep the connector cap for

children
A child is likely to choke on it, if swallowed. In
the event of choking, seek immediate medical
attention.
AC power cord and display cable
If you damage the AC power
cord and display cable, it may
result in fire or electric shock.

Refer to the operating instructions when
disconnecting the display cable.
If the AC power cord and display cable are
damaged, stop using it and ask your dealer or
Sony service center to exchange it.
5
Not in use
For environmental and
safety reasons, it is
recommended that the
TV set is not left in
standby mode when
not in use. Disconnect
from the AC power outlet.
Cable wiring
Take care not to catch your feet on the cables. It
may damage the TV set.
Installation
Do not install optional components too close to
the display unit. Keep optional components at
least 30 cm away from the display unit. If a VCR
is installed in front or at the side of the display
unit, the picture may distort.
Heat
Do not touch the surface of the display unit. It
remains hot, even for some time after the display
unit is turned off.
Disposal of the unit (KLV-MR32
only)
• Do not dispose of the unit with general
household waste.
• The LCD contains a small amount of liquid
crystal and mercury. The fluorescent tube
used in this unit also contains mercury. Follow
your local ordinances and regulations for
disposal.
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.
And watching the screen continuously long
times taxes your eyes, too.
On installing the TV set
Installing the display unit
Use the specified wall-mount bracket or stands.
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 display unit is exposed to extreme
temperature, the display unit may heat up
and it may cause deformations of the casing
or malfunctions.
• Do not install the display unit in a place
exposed to direct air conditioning. If the
display unit is installed in such a location,
moisture may condense on the panel inside
the display unit. It may cause a 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 color over
portions of the picture. This is because
moisture has condensed on the panel inside
the display unit. Let the moisture evaporate
before using the display unit.
•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the
screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.
If possible, use spot lighting direct down from
the ceiling.
Installing the media receiver unit
The TV set is not disconnected from AC power
outlet when the switch is in off position. To
disconnect the TV set completely, pull the plug
from AC power outlet.
On adjustment volume
• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble
neighbors. 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.
6
On handling the remote control
• Handle the remote control with care. Do not
drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind.
• Do not place the remote control in a location
near heat source, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, or in a damp room.
On handling and cleaning the screen
surface of the Plasma TV
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 AC power cord
connected to the TV set from the AC power
outlet before cleaning.
• Do not touch the display panel after operating
continuously for a long period as the display
panel becomes hot.
•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 AC power cord
connected to the TV set from the AC power
outlet 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. The accumulate dust
may make the cooling function of the built-in
fan less effective. To prevent this, we
recommended removing the dust periodically
(once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
On the PDP (Plasma Display
Panel): only KE-MR50 and KEMR61 models
On the PDP
• 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 colored stripes or
brightness may appear on the PDP screen.
This is not a malfunction.
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
“Dynamic” mode or has a high contrast
setting. This image cannot be removed once
burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of
occurrence do not leave the TV set operating
on such a picture, or program for a long time,
use the “Screen Saver” function or lower the
contrast setting. Repeated extended daily
usage of the same image, or program can
also result in this occurrence. IMAGE
RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE
SONY WARRANTY.
•To reduce image retention, this Plasma TV has
the “Screen Saver” function. The default
setting of the “Orbit” function in “Screen
Saver” is “On”.
On the LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display): only KLV-MR32 model
On the screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with highprecision technology and has effective pixels
of 99.99% or more, black dots may appear or
bright points of light (red, blue or green) may
appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD panel and is
not a malfunction.
7
• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the
sun. Doing so may damage the screen surface.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place
objects on top of this unit. The image may be
uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.
• If this unit is used in a cold place, a smear
may occur in the picture or the picture may
become dark. This does not indicate a failure.
These phenomena improve as the temperature
rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are
displayed continuously. It may disappear after
a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this
unit is in use. This is not a malfunction.
Fluorescent lamp
• This unit uses a special fluorescent lamp as its
light source. If the screen image becomes dark,
flickers, or does not appear, the fluorescent
lamp has run down and should be replaced.
For replacement, consult qualified service
personnel.
