• If you are having problems with the remote control, reinsert or replace your batteries and make sure that they are correctly inserted.

Before setting up your TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. See p"Installing the TV to the Wall" if you want to mount the TV to a wall. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet.
Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.
• Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.
  
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation.
• 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.
• Ensure that there are no objects in front of the TV.
  

Attaching the Table-Top Stand

Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand leaflet for proper attachment.

• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.
• Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power cord when you install the TV set to the Table-Top Stand.

1. Attach the Table-Top Stand to the TV.
   
2. Fix the TV to the Table-Top Stand using the supplied screws.
   

• If using an electric screwdriver, set the torque at approximately 1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm}.

Detaching the Table-Top Stand from the TV
To detach the Table-Top Stand from the TV, remove the screws fixed in step 2.

• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason other than to install corresponding accessories on the TV.
• When removing the Table-Top Stand from the TV, lay the display face down on a stable work surface that is larger than the TV.
• To prevent damaging the surface of the LCD display, make sure to place a soft cloth on the work surface.
• Be sure the TV is vertical before turning on. To avoid uneven picture uniformity do not power on the TV with the LCD panel facing down.
• When attaching the Table-Top Stand again, be sure to fasten the screws (previously removed) to the original holes on the rear of the TV.

Bundling the AC adapter

• You can bundle the AC adapter as an optional step. Do not bundle it for any reason other than to wall-mount the TV.
• Make sure that the label is facing outwards when bundling AC adapter.
  

Connecting the TV

• Use an antenna cable connector no greater than 14 mm thick.
• When connecting the cable to the Cable/ Antenna, input finger tighten only, over tightening the connection can damage the TV.
• Before moving the TV, disconnect all of the cables connected to the TV to prevent damaging the TV when it is moved.
• Use an HDMI cable connector within 12 mm (thickness) × 21 mm (width).
• For more information on connections, refer to the i-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.
• 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. Secure the TV to the Stand.
   Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not supplied):
   • M6 machine screw (screwed into the TV's rear cover)
   • 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.
     
     The length of the M6 machine screw differs depending on the rope or chain diameter. Please see below illustration.
     
3. Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts, wall anchor and chain (or rope).
   Anchor bolts (M6) (not supplied)
   
   
   • Your TV is shipped with screws attached to the rear of the TV depending on the TV model. (They are fastened in the screw holes for wall mounting.) Be sure to remove the upper two screws prior to anchoring the TV to a wall.
   • Securing the TV to the stand without securing the TV and the stand to the wall provides minimum protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, be sure to follow the three measures recommended.

Bundling the cables

• Do not bundle the AC power cord together with other cables.
