s 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.
s Do not convert or damage the AC power cord.
s Consult your electrician to have the outlet changed to suit your TV.
Subjecting the AC power cord to wear and/or abuse can damage the AC
power cord and your TV.
s Do not place the TV where the power cord can be easily pinched, bent,
twisted, or catch your feet.
s Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the cord.
s Before connecting cables, be sure to unplug the AC power cord for
your safety.
s Do not move the TV with the AC power cord (or other cables such as
audio and video) connected.
s Use only an original Sony AC power cord with your TV; no brand
substitution is allowed.
s Do not use AC power cord supplied with the TV with any other
equipment.
s Never use a damaged AC power cord. A
damaged AC power cord can cause a
short-circuit, which may result in a fire or
electric shock.
Do not use a damaged or poorly fitting AC power
outlet as your TV’s power source.
s Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it is loose, it
may cause arcing and result in a fire.
s Do not overload the same AC power outlet.
Unplugging the AC power cord from the wall outlet will completely
remove power from the TV.
s 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.
s 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
s When using headphones, adjust the volume to
avoid excessive audio levels from causing
possible hearing loss.
BATTERIES
Your remote control batteries are consumables.
s To preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to
your local laws or regulations.
s Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
s Do not short-circuit, disassemble or overheat the batteries.
s Replace only with the same or equivalent type of batteries. Using
incorrect replacement batteries can lead to an explosion.
LCD SCREEN
s 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.
s 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 blank screen. This condition
is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode,
Backlight setting, enabling the Light Sensor, or turning on the Power
Management will improve this condition.
s To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not expose the LCD screen to
direct sunlight.
s 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.
s If the TV is used in a cold place, smear may occur in the picture or the
picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These
phenomena improve as the temperature rises.
s Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It
should disappear after a few moments.
s The LCD screen and enclosure get warm when the TV is in use. This
is not a malfunction.
s Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the LCD
screen.
s Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or plastic material to the LCD
screen.
Broken screen panel
Do not throw anything at the TV as the impact can
cause the LCD screen glass to crack, break or
scatter.
s If damage occurs to the LCD panel, small traces of liquid crystal
sandwiched between the glass may be found on scattered broken glass.
