Prohibited Usage
Do not install/use the TV set in
locations, environments or situations
such as those listed below, or the TV
set may malfunction and cause a fire,
electrical shock, damage and/or
injuries.
Location:
• Outdoors (in direct sunlight), at the
seashore, on a ship or other vessel,
inside a vehicle, in medical
institutions, unstable locations, near
water, rain, moisture or smoke.
• If the TV is placed in the changing
room of a public bath or hot spring,
the TV may be damaged by airborne
sulfur, etc.
• For best picture quality, do not
expose the screen to direct
illumination or sunlight.
• 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 colour. Should this occur,
allow moisture to evaporate
completely before powering the TV
on.
• Never spray water or detergent
directly on the TV set. It may drip to
the bottom of the screen or exterior
parts and enter the TV set, and may
cause damage to the TV set.
Environment:
• Places that are hot, humid, or
excessively dusty; where insects may
enter; where it might be exposed to
mechanical vibration, near flammable
objects (candles, etc). The TV set
shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the TV.
• Do not place the TV in a humid or
dusty space, or in a room with oily
smoke or steam (near cooking tables
or humidifiers). Fire, electric shock, or
warping may result.
• Do not install the TV in places subject
to extreme temperature such as in
direct sunlight, near a radiator or a
heating vent. The TV may overheat in
such condition which can cause
deformation of the enclosure and/or
TV malfunction.
Situation:
• Do not use when your hands are wet,
with the cabinet removed, or with
attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer. Disconnect the TV set
from AC power outlet and antenna
during lightning storms.
• Do not install the TV so that it sticks
out into an open space. Injury or
damage from a person or object
bumping into the TV may result.
Broken pieces:
• Do not throw anything at the TV set.
The screen glass may break by the
impact and cause serious injury.
• If the surface of the TV set cracks, do
not touch it until you have unplugged
the AC power cord. Otherwise electric
shock may result.
When not in use
• If you will not be using the TV set for
several days, the TV set should be
disconnected from the AC power for
environmental and safety reasons.
• As the TV set is not disconnected
from the AC power when the TV set is
just turned off, pull the plug from the
AC power outlet to disconnect the TV
set completely.
• However, some TV sets may have
features that require the TV set to be
left in standby to work correctly.
For children
• Do not allow children to climb on the
TV set.
• Keep small accessories out of the
reach of children, so that they are not
mistakenly swallowed.

occur...
Turn off the TV set and unplug the AC
power cord immediately if any of the
following problems occur.
Ask your dealer or Sony service centre
to have it checked by qualified service
personnel.

– AC power cord is damaged.
– Poor fitting of AC power outlet.
– TV set is damaged by being
dropped, hit or having something
