4: 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.
• 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).
1
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.
2
Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as follows
(not supplied):
• M4 machine screw (screwed into the
TV's Table-Top Stand)
• 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.
An alternative way to secure the TV is with
an optional Sony Support Belt Kit. The
Sony Support Belt Kit is available as an
optional accessory, depending on your TV
model.

Table-Top Stand
The length of the M4 machine screw differs
depending on the rope or chain diameter.
