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.
