> Installing the TV Installing the TV This TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall- Mount Bracket or placed on a TV stand (each sold separately). This section will explain: Carrying the TV Preparation for a Table-Top stand...
Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount it to a wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task.

3) Gently slide the TV unit onto the neck of the Table-Top Stand and align the screw holes. Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen. Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power cord when you install the TV unit to the Table- Top Stand.

4) Remove the screws on the rear of the TV (see illustration). Do not remove any other screws from the TV. 5) When screws are removed, lift the TV off the stand. Make sure that you carry out this task with at least two or three people.
For product protection and safety, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed for your TV and wall-mounting is performed by a Sony dealer or a licensed contractor. Do not attempt to install it yourself. Sony is not liable for any damage or injury caused by mishandling or improper installation.

The installation dimensions may differ according to how the TV is installed. The wall must be strong enough to support at least four times the weight of the TV that you are installing. 3) Install the Base Bracket on the wall. Refer to the instruction provided with your Wall-Mount Bracket.
