Guidelines for Remote Control

• Point your remote control directly at the

IR sensor located on your TV.

• Make sure that no objects are blocking the path between the remote control and the IR sensor on your TV.

Before setting up your TV

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

• If you are having problems with the remote control, reinsert or replace your batteries and make sure that they are correctly inserted.

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. See

page 21 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) if you

want to mount the TV to a wall. 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 TV with 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.

• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation,

see page 22.

• 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.

4: Securing the TV

Angle brace

(not supplied)

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.

Preventing the TV from

Toppling

• 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.

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

Consider the following measures when securing your TV to a Stand (not supplied).

1

Secure the Stand for the TV.

Make sure the 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 Stand.

Stand

2

Secure the TV to the Stand.

Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not supplied):

• A machine screw (screwed into the

TV’s Table-Top Stand)

XBR-65HX950

Use M6 screw

XBR-55HX950, KDL-55/46HX850

Use M4 screw

• A screw or similar (attach it to the

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.

The Sony Support Belt Kit is available as an optional accessory, depending on your TV model.

Using a Wall-Mount

Bracket

Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a

Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged. If the Table-Top Stand is attached to the TV, the TV may require detaching the Table-Top Stand; see

page 11 (Detaching the Table-Top Stand from the TV).

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

For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed for your TV and the installation should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

• See page 37 (Compatible optional accessories information).

• Follow 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.

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-mount bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set.

The supplied screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook.

The diameter and length of the screws differ depending on the Wall-mount bracket model. Use of screws other than those supplied may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

How to Care for Your BRAVIA TV

Safety is very important. Please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet) separately provided.

Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the wall outlet before you begin cleaning your TV.

• Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water.

• If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package.

• Never spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts and enter the TV set, and may cause damage to the TV set.

• Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning.

• Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture from cleaning has evaporated.

The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see

page 16). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is

securely fastened.
