❐ When disconnecting the AC

power cord, grasp the plug and disconnect from the wall outlet first. Do not pull by the cord.

❐ Keep the power cord away from

heat sources.

A TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC power cord plug must be connected to an AC power outlet with a protective earthing connection (only applicable for Class I product).

❐ Do not convert or damage the AC power cord. ❐ Consult your electrician to have the outlet

outlet. If it is loose, it may cause arcing and result in a fire.

❐ Do not overload the same AC

power outlet.

Unplugging the AC power cord from the wall outlet will completely remove power from the TV. ❐ During lightning storms or

when the TV is left unattended and unused for extended periods of time, the AC power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet. This will avoid possible damage to your TV. Also unplug the antenna to prevent damage to the TV.

❐ For energy conservation and safety reasons,

practice unplugging the AC power cord from the AC power outlet.

Clean the AC power plug

Unplug the AC power plug and clean it occasionally to avoid dust from accumulating. While cleaning, look for signs of damage. A damaged AC power cord should never be used.

ACCESSORIES

Keep small accessories out of children’s reach. Use only the specified accessories with this TV.

Volume Adjustment

❐ When using headphones,

adjust the volume to avoid excessive audio levels from causing possible hearing loss.

BATTERIES

Your remote control batteries are consumables. ❐ Dispose of batteries in an environmentally

friendly way. Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries. Please consult your local authority.

❐ Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. ❐ Do not short-circuit, disassemble or overheat

the batteries.

❐ Batteries must not be exposed to excessive

heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

LCD SCREEN

❐ Although the LCD screen is made with high-

precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots 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.

❐ The LCD screen is made with high-precision

technology and to achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this TV’s backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a dark ambient without an input source or with a blank screen. This condition is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode, Backlight setting, enabling the Light Sensor (if applicable), or turning on the Power Management will improve this condition.

❐ To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not

expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.

❐ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or

place objects on top of the TV. The images may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.

❐ If the TV is used in a cold place, the picture

may smear or 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 should disappear after a few moments.

❐ The LCD screen and enclosure get warm

when the TV is in use. This is not a malfunction.

❐ Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile

material on the LCD screen.

❐ Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or plastic

material to the LCD screen.

Broken screen panel

Do not throw anything at the LCD screen and its edges as the impact can cause the LCD screen glass to crack, break or shatter. ❐ If damage occurs to the LCD

panel, small traces of liquid crystal sandwiched between the glass may be found on scattered broken glass.

❐ Do not touch the broken glass with bare

hands. As with any broken glass pieces, avoid skin contact and exposure to your eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these may have an adverse effect on some people. The contacted area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions persist, see your doctor.

❐ If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch

the TV until you have unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result.

SERVICING

Do not use the TV if you suspect the TV is damaged or if the TV is damaged. ❐ Do not attempt to service

the TV yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage levels or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

❐ If replacement parts are

required, acquire a written certification from the service technician which states that adequate replacement parts with the same or similar characteristics as the original parts have been used. Unauthorized substitutions may result in a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.

Safety check

❐ Upon completion of any TV

servicing or repair, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks as specified by Sony and to certify that the TV is safe to operate. Have a qualified service technician dispose of the TV if it is not safe to operate.

(Continued)

CAUTION

❐ Some people may experience discomfort

(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games. Sony recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games. The length and frequency of necessary breaks will vary from person to person.

4: 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.

Using a Wall-Mount Bracket

Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged.

Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.

For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed for your TV and the installation should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

• See page 5 (Compatible Wall-Mount Bracket Information).

• Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-mount bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. The supplied screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length of the screws differ depending on the Wall-mount bracket model. Use of screws other than those supplied may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.
