Safety information

Mains lead

• Observe the followings 

to prevent the mains 

lead being damaged.

If the mains lead is 

damaged, it may result 

in a fire or an electric 

shock.

– When you disconnect the mains 

lead, disconnect it from the 

mains socket first.

– Be sure to grasp the plug when 

disconnecting the mains lead. 

Do not pull on the mains lead 

itself.

– Do not pinch, bend, or twist the 

mains lead excessively. The core 

conductors may be exposed or 

broken.

– Do not modify the mains lead.

– Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead.

– Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.

• If you damage the mains lead, stop using it and ask your 

dealer or Sony service centre to exchange it.

• Do not use the supplied mains lead on any other 

equipment.

• Use only an original Sony mains lead, not other brands. 

Mains socket

Do not use a poor fitting mains socket. Insert 

the plug fully into the mains socket. A poor 

fit may cause arcing and result in a fire. 

Contact your electrician to have the mains 

socket changed.

Cleaning the mains plug

Unplug the mains plug and clean it 

regularly. If the plug is covered with dust 

and it picks up moisture, its insulation 

may deteriorate and result in a fire. 

Overloading

This TV set is designed to operate 

on a 220–240 V AC supply only. 

Take care not to connect too many 

appliances to the same mains 

socket as this could result in fire or 

electric shock.

When not in use

• If you will not be using the TV 

set for several days, the TV set 

should be disconnected from 

the mains for environmental 

and safety reasons.  

• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the 

TV set is switched off.  To disconnect the TV set 

completely, pull the plug from the mains. However, some 

TV sets may have features which need the TV set to be left 

in standby to work correctly. The instructions in this 

manual will inform you if this applies.

Carrying

• Before carrying the TV set, disconnect all the cables from 

the TV set.

• When you carry the TV set by 

hand, hold the TV set as illustrated 

on the right. When lifting the TV 

set or moving the panel of the TV 

set, hold it firmly from the bottom. 

If you do not do so, the TV set may 

fall and be damaged or cause 

serious injury. 

• When transporting it, do not 

subject the TV set to jolts or 

excessive vibration. The TV set 

may fall and be damaged or cause 

serious injury.

• If the TV set has been dropped or 

damaged, have it checked 

immediately by  qualified service personnel.

• When you carry the TV set in for repair or when you move 

it, pack it using the original carton and packing material.

Placement

• The TV set should be installed near an easily accessible 

mains socket.

• Place the TV set on a stable, level 

surface. Do not hang anything on the 

TV set. If you do, the TV set may fall 

from the stand, causing damage or 

serious injury.

• Do not install the TV set in places 

subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct 

sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent. If the TV set 

is exposed to extreme temperature, the TV set may 

overheat and cause deformation of the casing or cause the 

TV set to malfunction.

• Do not install the TV set in a place exposed to direct air 

conditioning. If the TV set is installed in such a location, 

moisture may condense inside and may  cause a 

malfunction.

• Never place the TV set in hot, oily, 

humid or excessively dusty places. 

• Do not install the TV set where 

insects may enter. 

• Do not install the TV set where it 

may be exposed to mechanical vibration.

• Do not install the TV set in a location where it may 

protrude, such as on or behind a pillar, or where you might 

bump your head on it. Otherwise, it may result in injury.

• Do not allow children to climb on 

the TV set.

• If you use the TV set near the 

seashore, salt may corrode metal 

parts of the TV set and cause 

internal damage or fire.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

• To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing 

position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical 

length away from the TV set.

• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct 

illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot 

lighting directed down from the ceiling.

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor 

light or during long period of time, strains your eyes. 

Volume adjustment

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your 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.

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 

and mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this TV set also 

contains mercury. 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.

• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or 

throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.

• Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set 

continuously for a long period as the display panel 

becomes hot.

• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little 

as possible.

• 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 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.

• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To 

ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the 

dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.

• If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base 

of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from 

becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get 

your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.

Optional Equipments

• Do not install optional components too close to the TV set. 

Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the 

TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or 

beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.

• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV 

set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment 

emitting electromagnetic radiation.
