To Customers Sufficient expertise is required for TV installations. Be sure to subcontract the installation to a Sony dealer or licensed contractor and pay adequate attention to safety during the installation. 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 “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 (refer to the Setup 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, refer to the safety documentation.
- 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.
- Install the TV so that the TV’s Table-Top Stand does not protrude out from the Stand (not supplied). If the Table-Top Stand protrudes out from the Stand, it may cause TV set to topple over, fall down, and cause personal injury or damage to the TV.
- Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.
Recommended Measures to Secure the TV Consider the following measures when securing your TV to a Stand (not supplied).
- Secure the Stand for the TV. Make sure the 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 Stand.
- Secure the TV to the Stand. Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not supplied): • M6 machine screws (screwed into the TV’s rear cover). • A screw or similar (attach it to the 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.
The length of the M6 machine screw differs depending on the rope or chain diameter. Please refer to below illustration. - Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts, wall anchor and chain (or rope).
Please refer to below illustration for M6 eye bolt length. 
Note
- Your TV is shipped with screws attached to the rear of the TV depending on the TV model. (They are fastened in the screw holes for wall mounting.) Be sure to remove the upper two screws prior to anchoring the TV to a wall.
- Securing the TV to the Stand without securing the TV and the Stand to the wall provides minimum protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, be sure to follow the three measures recommended.
