Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death. Prevent the TV from Toppling Over s Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand. s Do not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets. s Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV. s 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. s Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed, or knocked over. s Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.

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