• Inadequate air circulation can lead to overheating of

the TV and may cause damage to your TV or cause a
fire.

Consider the following for best picture
quality

• Do not expose the screen to direct illumination

or sunlight.

• Use spot lighting directed down from the

ceiling or cover the windows that face the
screen with opaque drapery.

• Install the TV in a room where the floor and

walls are not of a reflective material.

• When moving the TV from a cold area to a

warm area, a sudden room temperature change
may cause the TV’s picture to blur or show
poor color due to moisture condensation.
Should this occur, please wait a few hours to
allow the moisture to evaporate before
powering on 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.

Prevent the TV from Toppling Over
s

Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand.

s

Do not allow children to play or climb on
furniture and TV sets.

s

Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.

s

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.

s

Install the TV where it cannot be pulled,
pushed, or knocked over.

s

Route all AC power cords and connecting
cables so that they are not accessible to
curious children.

Use a Sony TV Stand

Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) and
follow the instruction manual provided with the
Sony TV stand.

If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider
the following recommended measures.

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

Secure the Stand for the TV
Make sure the TV 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 TV stand.

Secure the TV to the Stand
Use the optional hardware listed below (not
supplied):

• M6 × 12-15 mm anchor bolt (screwed into the

TV’s Table-Top Stand)

• A screw or similar (attach it to the TV 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.

An alternative way to secure the TV is with an
optional Sony Support Belt Kit.

Contact Sony Customer Support to obtain the optional
Support Belt Kit by providing your TV model name.
