Precautions
On viewing the Plasma TV comfortably
• To view the Plasma TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times
of the screen's vertical length away from the Plasma TV.
• View the Plasma TV in a moderate light room, as viewing the Plasma TV in poor light taxes your
eyes. And watching the screen continuously long times taxes your eyes, too.
On installing the Plasma TV
Installing the display unit
• Use the specified wall-mount bracket or stands.
Leave enough space for ventilation between the exhaust fan in the rear of unit and the wall.
• Do not install the display unit in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct
sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent. If the display unit is exposed to extreme temperature,
the display unit may heat up and it may cause deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
• Do not install the display unit in a place exposed to direct air conditioning. If the display unit is
installed in such a location, moisture may condense on the glass or PDP panel inside the display
unit. It may cause a malfunction.
• After transporting the display unit directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room
temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor color over portions of
the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the glass or PDP panel inside the display
unit. Let the moisture evaporate before using the display unit.
• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If
possible, use spot lighting direct down from the ceiling.
Installing the media receiver unit
The Plasma TV is not disconnected from the AC power outlet when the switch is in Off position. To
disconnect the set completely, pull the plug from the AC power outlet.
On adjustment volume
• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time.
Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may
result.
On image retention
• If the following images are displayed for an extended period time, image retention (afterimage) in
areas of the screen may result due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display Panel.
– Black bars at the top and bottom that appear with a wide video source (Letterbox picture).
– Black bars to the left and right that appear with a 4:3 video source (conventional TV broadcasts).
– Video game sources
– PC images
– DVD on-screen menu displays
– On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of connected equipment such as Set top box, Cable
modem, VCR, etc.
The risk of this is higher if the set is in "Dynamic" mode or has a high contrast setting. This image
cannot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of occurrence do not leave the TV
set operating on such a picture, or program for a long time, use the "Screen Saver" function or lower
the contrast setting. Repeated extended daily usage of the same image, or program can also result
in this occurrence. IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE SONY WARRANTY.
• To reduce image retention, this Plasma TV has the "Screen Saver" function. The default setting of
the "Orbit" function in "Screen Saver" is "On."
