SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Handling:
Take caution not to damage or drop the TV when you move it. Two or more people are required to safely transport the TV, who will need to grasp it firmly from the bottom and the sides. Don’t handle the TV roughly or press down too hard on the screen.
Ventilation:
Make sure the TV has adequate ventilation and is not blocked by anything, such as curtains or books. This will keep it from getting too hot and working at peak efficiency.
Keep out of the way of liquids and moisture:
Avoid exposing the TV to any liquids and keep it dry at all times. The internal components might be damaged by liquids, and they also present an electrical hazard. Turn off the TV and get in touch with Sony assistance if you spill anything on it.
Placement:
Make sure the TV is on a flat, level surface to avoid any accidents. Use the recommended mounting hardware and install the TV according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cleaning:
Turn off the TV and unhook it from the wall before cleaning it. Clean the screen and any other surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not clean the TV with harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleansers.
Lightning:
If you want to keep your TV safe from lightning damage during a storm, unplug it from the wall socket.
Infants and Animals:
Always supervise young children and dogs around a television, but especially while it is turned on, being installed, or removed from a wall. Keep the area free of trip hazards by securing all cords and cables.
Repairs:
Please don’t try to fix or disassemble the TV on your own. It’s not only risky to open the TV or mess with its internal components, but it could also invalidate the warranty. Get in touch with Sony’s customer service or an authorized service center if you need help with your TV.

MOUNTING STAND

Locate the Mounting Stand:
The TV’s mounting stand came in multiple pieces, and you’ll need to find them. A base plate and a support arm are typical examples of these parts.
Attach the Support Arm:
Place the TV’s support arm into the appropriate slots or onto the appropriate screws on the back of the TV. The supporting arm should be inserted into the appropriate slots or screw holes.
Secure the Support Arm:
Attach the support arm to the back of the TV using the screws or other mounting devices provided. Be sure the screws are securely fastened, but don’t overtighten them or you could break the TV.

Attach the Base Plate:
The TV’s base plate should be set up on a level, stable surface. Make that the slot or connector on the base plate is lined up with the support arm. The arm support may either slide into precut slots or latch into place, depending on the design.
Secure the Base Plate:
The TV’s base plate and support arm must be attached to one another, and screws or other fastening mechanisms must be used to do so. Check the screw tightness to make sure the TV won’t fall off the stand.

PORT INSTRUCTIONS

HDMI port:
Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, set-top boxes, and audio/video receivers can all be connected using HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors. High-quality audio and video signals are delivered over one cable through HDMI.
USB port:
You can connect USB storage devices, including flash drives or external hard drives, to the TV’s USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports to play media files directly on the screen. USB ports can also be utilized to connect other suitable devices or update the firmware.
RF input:
An antenna or cable TV source is connected to the RF (Radio Frequency) input. By connecting the proper coaxial cable, you can utilize this input to receive cable TV channels or over-the-air TV signals.
Port Ethernet:
You can connect your TV to a wired network using the Ethernet port. Without using Wi-Fi, you can access internet-based services like streaming apps or online browsing by connecting an Ethernet connection from your router or modem to the TV.
Video Composite Input:
Older analog devices, such as VCRs or vintage video game consoles, can be connected using the composite video input, which has three RCA connections (yellow, red, and white). The left and right audio signals are sent through the red and white ports, while the video signal is sent through the yellow port.
Video component input:
High-quality analog video signals are also transmitted via three RCA ports on the component video input (red, green, and blue). Older gaming consoles, DVD players, and other gadgets with component video output are frequently connected using this input.
The output of digital audio:
An optical (TOSLINK) or coaxial port is an option for the digital audio output. To experience improved audio from the TV, you can connect extra audio equipment such as soundbars or AV receivers.
Bluetooth Jack:
You can connect wired headphones or earbuds to the headphone jack for private listening. The TV’s speakers are typically muted when headphones are put in.

REMOTE BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Locate the Battery Compartment:
Flip the remote control over to access the battery compartment. On the backside of the remote, you will find a small rectangular cover.
Open the Battery Compartment:
Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction indicated by the arrows or press the release button, depending on the design of your remote control. This will open the compartment.
Insert New Batteries:
Insert fresh batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring they are placed in the correct orientation as indicated by the “+” and “-” signs. Typically, remote controls use AA or AAA batteries but refer to the user manual or the labeling inside the battery compartment for the specific battery type required.
Close the Battery Compartment:
Once the new batteries are inserted, close the battery compartment cover by sliding it back into place or pressing it until it clicks shut. Ensure that the cover is securely fastened.
Test the Remote:
Point the remote control toward the TV and press some buttons to check if it is functioning properly with the new batteries. If the TV responds correctly to the remote commands, the battery replacement was successful.
