Securing the TV

Preventing the TV from Toppling

Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from toppling over; as 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.

Use a Sony TV

Stand

Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) 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.

Measures to Secure the TV

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.

Secure the TV to the Stand.

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

• M6 × 12-18mm anchor bolt (screwed into the TV’s Table-Top Stand).

• A screw or similar (attach it to the TV 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.

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

Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9

(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program provider).

The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your

TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your TV’s large screen and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for certain digitally recorded programs.

Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.

Point the remote control at the remote control sensor of the TV.

Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.

Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.

Certain cable companies have limitations on the broadcast of digital cable channels. Check with your cable company for more information.

The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Show/Hide Channels

setting (see page 29).

Select the Parental Lock settings on the settings screen, then enter the following master password: 4357. The master password clears your previous password and

allows you to enter a new password (page 31).

Turn on the TV. While holding down the

V

button on the remote control, press the POWER button on the TV. (The TV will turn itself off, then back on again.)

Release the

V

button.

WARNING: The Reset will clear all of your customized settings including

Parental Lock setting.

Preparation for Wall Mounting

This TV can be installed on a wall by using a Wall-Mount Bracket (sold separately). Before mounting the TV on a wall, the Table-Top Stand must be removed from the TV.

Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason other than to wallmount the TV.

Sony Wall-Mount

Bracket Model

SU-WL500

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

1

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

Start removing the screws behind the TV (See illustration below). 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 people. Do not attempt to lift the TV by yourself.

For bracket installation, refer to the instruction guide provided by the Wall-

Mount Bracket model for your TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight. For product protection and safety reasons,

Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by Sony dealers or licensed contractors.
