To Sony Dealers and Contractors:
The following instructions are for Sony dealers and contractors
only. Be sure to read safety precautions described below and pay
special attention to safety during the installation, maintenance
and checking of this product.
• When handling or mounting the TV set, hold it on the sides. Do
not lift the TV by the U-shaped Bar.
• When handling or mounting the
TV set, do not lay down the TV.
• Do not install the Wall-Mount
Bracket on wall surfaces where the
corners or the sides of the TV are
protruding away from the wall
surface.
• Do not install the TV over or under an air conditioner.
• Be sure to install the Wall-Mount Bracket
securely to the wall following the
instructions in the supplied Wall-Mount
Bracket Installation Guide. If any of the
screws are loose or fall out, the Wall-
Mount Bracket may fall and cause injury
or property damage.
• Be sure to use the supplied screws and
attachment parts properly following the
instructions given in the supplied
Wall-Mount Bracket Installation Guide. If
you use substitute items, the TV may fall
and cause bodily injury to someone or
damage to the TV.
• Be sure to assemble the bracket properly following the
instructed procedure explained in the supplied Wall-Mount
Bracket Installation Guide.
• Be sure to tighten the screws securely in the designated
position.
• Be careful not to subject the TV to shock during installation.
• Be sure to install the TV on a wall that is both perpendicular and
flat.
• After proper installation of the TV, secure the cables properly.
• Do not allow the mains lead or
the connecting cables to be
pinched as the internal
conductors may become
exposed and cause a short circuit
or an electrical break.

Precautions

Viewing the TV
• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or
during long period of time, strains your eyes.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
(3D compatible models only)
• Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain,
fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or playing
stereoscopic 3D games. Sony recommends that all viewers take
regular breaks while watching 3D video images or playing
stereoscopic 3D games. The length and frequency of necessary
breaks will vary from person to person. You must decide what
works best. If you experience any discomfort, you should stop
watching the 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D
games until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if you believe
necessary. You should also review (i) the instruction manual of
any other device or media used with this television and (ii) our
website (www.sony.eu/support) for the latest information. The
vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is
still under development. Consult your doctor (such as a
pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to
watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults
should supervise young children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.
• Do not use, store, or leave the 3D Glasses or battery near a fire,
or in places with a high temperature, e.g., in direct sunlight, or
in sun-heated cars.
LCD Screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99 % or more of the pixels are effective,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or
green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of
this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be
damaged.
• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the
picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a
failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This
is not a malfunction.
• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal. Follow
your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set
Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from
mains socket before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently
with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.
• 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.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in
damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.
• Do not touch the TV if your hand is covered in any chemical
substance such as hand cream or sunblock.
• Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation openings is
recommended to ensure proper ventilation.
• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so as to
prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from its table
stand.
