Installation

• The TV set should be installed near an

easily accessible mains socket.

surface.

• Only qualified service personnel should

carry out wall installations.

(KDL-26P55/S55xx)

• 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.

transporting the

TV set, disconnect

all cables.

• Two or three

people are needed

to transport a large

TV set.

TV set by hand,

hold it as shown

not put stress on

the LCD panel.

moving the TV

set, hold it firmly

insulation may deteriorate, which
could result in a fire.

lead excessively. The core conductors

may be exposed or broken.
