How to Carry the 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 and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the attachment instructions

provided with the TV.

Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

zDisconnect all cables when carrying the TV.

zCarry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.

zCorrect hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.

zEnsure your TV has adequate ventilation.

zFor best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

zAvoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.

zAvoid 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.

zBe sure to hold the bottom of the panel, and not the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill

area. Do not compress the panel's speaker grill area.

zDo not lift the TV from the bottom center.

Preparation for a Table-Top Stand

Follow the assembling steps required to place on a TV stand.

1) Remove the Table-Top Stand. For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends

that you use the screws provided with the TV.

2) Place the Table-Top Stand on a level and stable surface.

The screws are attached to the Table-Top Stand.

3) Gently slide the TV unit onto the neck of the Table-Top Stand and align the screw holes.



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 unit to the Table-

Top Stand.

4) Use the supplied screws to attach the TV unit to the Table-Top Stand (refer to the “Attaching the Table-

Top Stand” flyer found inside the carton). If an electric screwdriver is used, set the torque to tighten at

approximately 1.5 N·m, 15 Kgf·cm.

Using a Wall-Mount Bracket

Your TV can be mounted to a wall using the Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged.

Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.

Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV and that wall-mounting of your TV should be

performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

For details on how to use the Wall-Mount Bracket compatible with your model, visit www.sony.com/accessories or

call 1-800-488-7669 (United States) 1-877-899-7669 (Canada)

Follow the simple steps below to remove the Table-Top Stand:

zFollow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model. Sufficient

expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for

withstanding the TV’s weight.

zBe sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the mounting

hooks to the TV set. (Do not use the screws that are intended for the Table-Top Stand attachment.)

The supplied M6 screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured

from the attaching surface of the mounting hook. Use of screws other than those supplied with the

bracket may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

zBe sure to store the unused screws and Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you are ready to

attach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children.

1) Unplug the AC power cord and disconnect all the cables from the TV.

2) Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the TV.

3) Adjust the angle of the Mounting Hook.

4) Remove the screws on the rear of the TV (see illustration in the next column). Do not remove any other screws from the

TV.

5) When screws are removed, lift the TV off the stand. Make sure that you carry out this task with at least two or three

people. Do not attempt to lift the TV by yourself.

zInstall the TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material.

zWhen moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area, sudden change in room temperature may cause the TV’s picture to blur or show

poor color due to moisture condensation. Should this occur, please wait a few hours to allow the moisture to evaporate before

powering on the TV.

Use a Sony TV Stand

Use a Sony specified TV stand and follow the instruction manual provided with the Sony TV stand.

If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider the following recommended measures.

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

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:

zAttach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.

zAttach the other side to the TV stand.

Secure the TV to the Stand

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

zM4 × 20 machine screw (screwed into the TV’s Table-Top Stand)

zA screw or similar (attach it to the TV stand)

zRope or chain (strong enough to support the weight of the TV). Make sure that

there is no excess slack in the rope or chain.

An alternative way to secure the TV is with an optional Sony Support Belt Kit.



Contact Sony Customer Support to purchase the optional Support Belt Kit by providing your TV model name.

protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, be sure to follow the three measures

recommended.
