Before 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. See page 17 (Installing the TV to the Wall) 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 Startup Guide. 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. 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. Angle brace (not supplied) Stand • Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 19. • 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. Securing the TV 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. 2 Secure the TV to the Stand. Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not supplied): • M6 machine screws (screwed into the TV's rear cover) • A screw or similar (attach it to the Stand) • Rope or chain (strong enough to support the weight of the TV).
