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. 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 TVwith 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.
• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame
around the screen.
Attaching the Table-Top Stand
Note
• If using an electric screwdriver, set the tightening torque
at approximately 1.2N.m {12kgf<m}.
• When detaching the Table-Top Stand, reverse the
attaching procedure.
• Be sure the TV is vertical before turning on. To avoid
uneven picture uniformity do not power on the TV with
the LCDpanel 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.
KDL-40R380B/40R3SOB
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see
page 28.
• 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.

Securingthe TV
Z_ 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.
• 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.
Consider the following measures when securing
your TV to a TV stand (not supplied).
1 Secure the stand for the TV.
Make sure the TV 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 TV stand.

• M4 machine screw (screwed into the screw
hole of the TV).
• A screw or similar (attach it to the TV stand).

weight of the TV). Make sure that there is no
excess slack in the rope or chain.
