Availability of digital cable television programming in your area depends on the type of programming and signal provided by your cable service provider.

Before setting up your TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. See page 21 (Installing the TV to the Wall) if you want to mount the TV to a wall. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the supp lied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet. Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.

• Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or m ore people.

• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to av oid damage.

• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 23.

• For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

• Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.

• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely befo re powering the TV on.

Securing the TV

Safety and Regulatory

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

Only use Wireless LAN indoors when using it with IEEE

802.11a (5 GHz). This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure

limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 a nd RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant condition.

Sony s trongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from toppling over. Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death.

Preventing the TV from Toppling

• Secure the TV to a wall an d/or stand.

• Do not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets.

• Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.

• Never install the TV on:

 slipper y, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.  furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a

chest of drawers.

• Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed, or knocked over.

• Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.

Recommended Measures to Secure the

M6 eye bolt

TV’s rear cover

Consider the following measures when securing your TV to a Stand (not supplied).

1 Secure the Stand for the TV.

Make sure the Stand can adequately support the weight of the TV. Use two angle braces (not supplied) to secure the stand. For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware to:

• Attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.

• Attach the other side to the Stand.

2 Remove the screws from the rear of the TV.

(except XBR-55X890C, XBR-55X850C, XBR-49/43X830C)

The length of the M6 machine screw differs depending on the rope or chain diameter. Please see below illustration.

4 Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts, wall anchor and

chain (or rope).

3 Secure the TV to the Stand.

Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not supplied):

• M6 machine screw (screwed into the TV’s rear cover)

• A screw or similar (attach it to the Stand)

• Rope or chain (strong enough to support the weight of the TV). Make sure that there is no excess slack in the rope or chain .

Please see below illustration for M6 eye bolt length.

Note

• Your TV is shipp ed with screws attach ed to the rear of the TV depending on the TV model. (They are fastened in the screw holes for wall mounting.) Be sure to remove the upper two screws prior to anchoring the TV to a wall.

• Securing the TV to the stand without securing the TV and the stand to the wall provides minimum protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, be sure to follow the three measures recommended.

Precautions

How to care for your BRAVIA TV

Safety is very impor tant. Please read and fol low the safety documentation (Safety Booklet) separately provided.

Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the wall outlet before you begin cleaning your TV.

• Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning.

• Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture from cleaning has evaporated.

The TV s hould also be placed on a sta ble surface to prevent it from toppling over (see page 3). If you have young children or pets at hom e, check regularly to ensure the TV is securely fastened.
