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 furnitu re.
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the televi sion set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and
relocated, the same considerations as above shou ld 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 13 (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 Setup Guide.
Sufficient expertise is required when installing the TV to
the Table-Top Stand.
Refer to the Setup Guide supplied with the TV for stan d
installation.
Sony is not liab le for any damage or injur y caused by
mishandling or improper installation.
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.
• Wh en handling or mounting
the TV set, do not lay down
the TV.
• 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 befo re powering the TV
on.

from the stand (not supplied). If the TV bottom protrudes
out from the stand, it ma y cause TV set to topple over, fall
down, and cause personal injury or damage to the TV.
2 Remove the center cover.
3 Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not
supplied):
• M6 machine screw (screwed into the TV’s stand base).
• 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.
• Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that
they are not accessible to curious children.
Recommended Measures to Secure the
TV
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.

Precautions
How to care for your BRAVIA TV
Safety is very important. Please read and follow the safety
documentation (Sa fety Booklet) separately provided.
Unplug the TV and other
connected equipment from
the wall outlet before you
begin cleaning your TV.
• Wipe the 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 ch emically
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 s creen 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.
• Do not touch the TV if your hand is covered in any
chemical substance such as hand cream or sun block.
The TV should also be p laced on a stable surface to prevent
it from toppling over (see page 4). If you have young
children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is
securely fastened.
Recommendation for an F type plug
Projection of the inner wire from the connection part must
be less than 1.5 mm.
• Your TV is shippe d with screws attached to the rear of th e
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.

Protecting the TV Screen (OLED TV)
Precautions to Protect the Screen from
Damage
Image retention
OLED TV‘s are susceptible to ima ge retention (burn-in) due
to the characteristics of t he materials used. Image retention
may occur if images are displayed in the same location on
the screen repeatedly or over extended periods of time.
This is not a malfunctio n of the TV. Avoid displaying imag es
that may cause image retention .
The following are examples of images that
may cause image retention:
• Content with black bars either on the top and bottom
and/or the left and right sides of the screen. (for example,
Letterboxed, 4:3 screen, Standard definition)
• Static images suc h as photos.
• Video games that might have static content in some part
of the screen.
• On-screen menus, program guides, channel logos etc.
• Static content from applications.
• On-screen tickers, such as those used for news and
headlines.
To reduce the risk of image retention:
• Fill the screen by changing [Wide mode] to eliminate the
black bars. Select [Wide mode] other than [Normal].
• Turn off the OSD (On Screen Display) by pressing the
DISPLAY button, and turn off the menus from connected
equipment. For details, refer to the inst ruction manuals
for the connected equipment.
• Avoid displaying static images with bright colors
(including white), clock s or logos on any portion of the
screen.
• Set the picture settings based on the ambient conditions.
The Standard Picture is recommended for home use and
when viewing content that o ften displays the station
logos, etc.
The TV has following features to help reduce/prevent
image retention.
Panel refresh
Panel refresh will automatically run to adjust the uniformity
of the TV screen after it has been in use for long periods of
time. Panel refresh can also be performed manually and
should only be us ed if image retention is very noticeable or
you see the following message: [Panel refresh did not
finish…]
Caution:
• The Panel refresh function may affect the panel. As a
referen ce, per form the Panel refresh only once a year, do
not perform it more than once a year as it may affect the
usable life of t he panel.
• Panel refresh takes about one hour to complete.
• A white line may be displayed on the screen during the
Panel refresh, this is not a malfunction of the TV.
• Panel refresh will only work when the room temperature
is between 50 ºF and 104 ºF (10 ºC and 40 ºC).
Pixel shift
Automatically moves the image on the screen to prevent
image retention.
Other feature
The screen brightness is automatically reduced when
displaying still images, clocks, bright colors or logos etc.

Wall-Mount Bracket
TV’s rear cover
Note
This TV’s instruction manual only shows the steps on preparing the installation of the TV
before installing to the wall.
Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box
as packaged. If the Table-Top Stand is attached to the TV, the TV may require detaching the
Tab le-Top Stand; see page 18 ( Detac h ing the Ta ble-Top Stand f rom the T V).
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.
This product should only be installed by a professional installer who is trained to determine
the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV's weight. If it is not properly secured during
installation, the TV may fall and cause serious injury. Sony is not liable for any damage or
injury caused by mishandling or improper installation, or installing any other than the
specified product. Your Statutory Rights (if any) are not affected.
For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that installation of
your TV on the wall be performed by qualified professionals. Do not attempt to install it
yourself.
• Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model.
• The length of the screw for Wall-Mount Bracket differs depending on the Wall-Mount
Bracket thickness. Please see below illustration.
• Make sure that the wall has enough space for the TV and is capable of supporting a
weight of at least six times that of the TV.
• Be sure to store the unused screws and Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you are
ready to attach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children.
• Read the supplied Safety Booklet for additional safety information.
• Be sure to hold the TV while preparing it for wall-mount installation.
