Securing The Tv; Preventing The Tv From Toppling - Sony Bravia XBR-75X940C Reference Manual

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's Table-Top Stand does not
protrudes out from the TV stand (not supplied). If the
Table-Top Stand protrudes out from the TV 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.

Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not

• M6 machine screw (screwed into the TV's rear cover)
