• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 21.
• 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 bottom does not protrude out
from the Stand (not supplied). If the TV bottom 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).
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
Remove the center covers.
3
Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not
supplied):
• M6 machine screw (screwed into the TV's stand base).
• 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.
