Safety Information

All TVs operate on extremely high voltages. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the safety procedures indicated

below.

For your safety

For General Safety

•

Do not expose the TV set to rain or moisture.

•

Do not remove the rear cover.

•

For your protection, refer all servicing to qualified personnel only.

For Safe Installation

•

Do not install the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places.

•

Do not block or cover the ventilation openings.  For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 

cm all around the set.

•

Do not install the TV where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations.

•

Place the TV set only on a stable stand designed for the weight and dimensions of the TV.

For Safe Operation

•

Do not operate the TV set on anything other than a 220-240V AC, 50Hz supply.

•

Do not operate the TV if any liquid or solid objects fall in through the ventilation slots.  

Have it checked immediately.

•

For environmental and safety reasons, it is recommended that the TV set is not left in 

standby mode when not in use. Switch off at the mains.

•

Do not disconnect the TV by pulling on the power cable. Disconnect by removing the 

mains plug.

•

In case of a thunderstorm, disconnect the TV set from the main supply and the aerial. 

Otherwise the set may be damaged by a stroke of lightning.

For Maintenance

•

Clean the TV screen with a soft dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

•

Dust and nicotine deposits may cause heat accumulation inside the TV set. In the long term 

this could be a safety risk and may shorten the lifetime of your TV set. Therefore have your 

set serviced about every five years.

Safety Information

All televisions operate on extremely high voltages. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the safety guidelines indicated

in the blue sheet supplied.

Always use TV stands that are strong and stable enough to support the weight and size of this TV. Due to the unique floating

design of this TV, Sony highly recommend you use their designated stand,  SU-29FQ1. If this recommended option is not taken,

it is vitally important to ensure that any cabinet or table has a large enough surface area to accommodate all three legs of the TV

without any overlap.

Operation

NexTView is an electronic programme guide with up to 1 week* of programme information on those channels included

in the selected provider.

*If the data exceeds the memory of NexTView, you will get information on less than 7 days.

When looking for information you can search by theme (sports, art etc.), date or time (e.g. broadcasts between 8 and 9

p.m.). When you’ve found a programme you can go directly to this programme, use the timer to remind you of it or preset

your VCR with Smartlink.

The NexTView provider is responsible for the contents of the guide. The TV set is responsible for the presentation, that

is the menu structure and the navigation, if there is none from the provider. If there is a navigation from the provider the

basic operation with the joystick is the same as described in the Sony navigation.

At first you need to select a channel providing a NexTView service. In this case the indication “NexTView” is displayed 

as soon as all data is available. When you later change the channel you can still select this NexTView service.
