Important
Safeguards
Before using your TV, please read these instructions completely, and keep
this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions
placed on the set or described in the operating instructions or service
manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be
observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the serial/model plate.
If you are not sure of the type of electrical power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating
instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug
(a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing
it in.
Wall outlet
Do not use a poor fitting outlet.
Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it is loose, it
may cause arcing and result in fire.
Contact your electrician to have the outlet changed.
Wiring
Unplug the AC power cord when wiring cables.
Be sure to unplug the AC power cord for your safety, when hooking up.
Moisture
Do not touch the AC power cord with a wet hand.
If you plug/unplug the AC power cord with a wet
hand, it may cause electric shock.
Cleaning
Clean the AC power plug regularly.
If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up
moisture, its insulation may deteriorate and result in
fire. Unplug the AC power plug and clean it
regularly.
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC
plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician
to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since
this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not being used.
When the set is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a
precaution against the possibility of an internal
malfunction that could create a fire hazard.
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating,
unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service
technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly
when being turned on or off.
AC power cord and display cable
If you damage the AC power cord or display cable, it may result in fire or
electric shock.
s Do not pinch, bend, or twist the cable excessively. The core lines
may be bared and cut, and cause short-circuit, resulting in fire or
electric shock.
s Do not convert or damage the AC power cord or display cable.
s Do not put anything heavy on the AC power cord or display cable.
Do not pull the AC power cord or display cable.
s Keep the AC power cord or display cable away from heat sources.
s Be sure to grasp the plug when disconnecting the AC power cord.
s Refer to the operating instructions when disconnecting the display
cable.
If the AC power cord or display cable is damaged, stop using it and ask
your dealer or Sony service center to exchange it.
Cleaning
Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. If not, it may result in
electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set through the
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
set.
