WARNING

Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:  Using cabinets or stands recommended by the

manufacturer of the television set.

 Only using furniture that can safely support the

television set.

 Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge

of the supporting furniture.

 Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for

example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

 Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials

that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.

 Educating children about the dangers of climbing on

furniture to reach the television set or its controls. If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

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 18 (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 Startup Guide. 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 more people.

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

• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 19.

• 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 before powering the TV on.

Securing the TV

Sony strongly 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 and/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:

 slippery, 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.

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 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.

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

chain (or rope).

Please see below illustration for M6 eye bolt length.

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

Note

• Your TV is shipped with screws attached 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 important. Please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet) separately provided.

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

• Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water.

• If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package.

• Never spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts and enter the TV set, and may cause damage to the TV set.

• 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 should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is securely fastened.
