Important Safety Instructions
Additional Safety DOs and DON’Ts
MOISTURE
☐ Do not place liquid filled objects such as a
vase or potted plant on the TV.
☐ Do not use a power line
operated TV set near water;
for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, wet basement or
near a swimming pool, etc.
CLEANING
When cleaning, be sure to unplug the power
cord to avoid any chance of electric shock.
☐ Clean the cabinet of the TV
with a dry soft cloth.
☐ 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.
☐ Do not spray water or detergent directly
on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom
of the screen or exterior parts, and may
cause a malfunction.
☐ If using a chemically pretreated cloth,
please follow the instruction provided on
the package.
☐ Never use strong solvents such as a
thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning.
☐ Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation
openings is recommended to ensure to
proper ventilation.

necessary to ensure reliable operation of the
TV and to protect it from overheating.
☐ Do not block or cover the
ventilation openings with
cloth or other materials.
☐ Never place the TV on a bed,

Wall-mount use
☐ Wall-mount installation
requires the use of a
Wall-Mount Bracket. When
installing or removing the TV and the
Wall-Mount Bracket, be sure to use qualified
contractors. If not properly secured during
installation or removal from the Wall-Mount
Bracket, the TV may fall and cause serious
injury.
☐ Be sure to follow the installation guide
supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when
installing the TV.
☐ Be sure to attach the brackets with the
specified parts supplied with the Wall-Mount
Bracket.
☐ Do not hang the TV from the ceiling. It may
fall and cause serious injury.
☐ Do not hang anything on the TV.
☐ Do not allow children to climb on
the TV.
AC POWER CORD
☐ Do not touch the AC power cord
and its plug with wet hands as it
may cause electric shock.
☐ When disconnecting the AC
power cord, grasp the plug and
disconnect from the wall outlet
first. Do not pull by the cord.
☐ Keep the power cord away from heat sources.
A TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC
power cord plug must be connected to an AC
power outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
☐ Do not convert or damage the AC power
cord.
☐ Consult your electrician to have the outlet
changed to suit your TV.
Subjecting the AC power cord to wear and/or
abuse can damage the AC power cord and your
TV.
☐ Do not place the TV where the power cord
can be easily pinched, bent, twisted, or catch
your feet.
☐ Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over
the cord.
☐ Before connecting cables, be sure to unplug
the AC power cord for your safety.
☐ Do not move the TV with the AC power cord
(or other cables such as audio and video)
connected.
☐ Use only an original Sony AC power cord
with your TV; no brand substitution is
allowed.
☐ Do not use AC power cord supplied with the
TV with any other equipment.
☐ Never use a damaged AC power
cord. A damaged AC power cord
can cause a short-circuit, which
may result in a fire or electric
shock.
Do not use a damaged or poorly
fitting AC power outlet as your TV’s
power source.
☐ Insert the plug fully into the outlet.
If it is loose, it may cause arcing and
result in a fire.
☐ Do not overload the same AC
power outlet.
Unplugging the AC power cord from the wall
outlet will completely remove power from the
TV.
☐ During lightning storms or
when the TV is left unattended
and unused for extended
periods of time, the AC power
cord should be unplugged
from the wall outlet. This will
avoid possible damage to your
TV. Also unplug the antenna
to prevent damage to the TV.
☐ For energy conservation and safety reasons,
practice unplugging the AC power cord from
the AC power outlet.
Clean the AC power plug
Unplug the AC power plug and
clean it occasionally to avoid
dust from accumulating. While
cleaning, look for signs of damage. A damaged
AC power cord should never be used.
ACCESSORIES
Keep small accessories out of children’s reach.
Use only the specified accessories with this TV.
Volume Adjustment
☐ When using headphones, adjust
the volume to avoid excessive
audio levels from causing
possible hearing loss.
BATTERIES
Your remote control batteries are consumables.
☐ To preserve our environment, dispose of
used batteries according to your local laws
or regulations.
☐ Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
☐ Do not short-circuit, disassemble or
overheat the batteries.
☐ Replace only with the same or equivalent
type of batteries. Using incorrect replace-
ment batteries can lead to an explosion.
☐ Do not place the remote in a location near
a heat source, a place subject to direct
sunlight, or a damp room.
LCD SCREEN
☐ Although the LCD screen is made with
high-precision technology and has
effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black
dots or bright points of light (red, blue, or
green) may appear constantly on the LCD
screen. This is a structural property of the
LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
☐ The LCD screen is made with high-preci-
sion technology and to achieve a high level
of performance and picture quality, this
TV’s backlight setting is set to maximize
the brightness of the TV. However, uneven
brightness may be observed when the LCD
TV is viewed in a dark ambient without an
input source or with a blank screen. This
condition is normal and not a malfunction
of the TV. Changing the Picture mode,
Backlight setting, enabling the Light
Sensor (if applicable), or turning on the
Power Management will improve this
condition.
☐ To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not
expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.
☐ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or
place objects on top of the TV. The images
may be uneven or the LCD panel may be
damaged.
☐ If the TV is used in a cold place, the
picture may smear or become dark. This
does not indicate a failure. These phenom-
ena improve as the temperature rises.
☐ Ghosting may occur when still pictures are
displayed continuously. It should disappear
after a few moments.
☐ The LCD screen and enclosure get warm
when the TV is in use. This is not a
malfunction.
☐ Avoid spraying insect repellent with
volatile material on the LCD screen.
☐ Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or
plastic material to the LCD screen.
Broken screen panel
Do not throw anything at the
TV as the impact can cause
the LCD screen glass to
crack, break or scatter.
☐ If damage occurs to the
LCD panel, small traces of liquid crystal
sandwiched between the glass may be
found on scattered broken glass.
☐ Do not touch the broken glass with bare
hands. As with any broken glass pieces,
avoid skin contact and exposure to your
eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with
liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as
these may have an adverse effect on some
people. The contacted area should be
rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions
persist, see your doctor.
☐ If the surface of the TV cracks, do not
touch the TV until you have unplugged the
AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock
may result.
SERVICING
Do not use the TV if you
suspect the TV is damaged or
if the TV is damaged.
☐ Do not attempt to service
the TV yourself since
opening the cabinet may
expose you to dangerous
voltage levels or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
☐ If replacement parts are
required, acquire a written
certification from the service
technician which states that
adequate replacement parts
with the same or similar characteristics as
the original parts have been used.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in a
fire, an electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check
☐ Upon completion of any TV
servicing or repair, ask the
service technician to perform
routine safety checks as
specified by Sony and to
certify that the TV is safe to operate. Have
a qualified service technician dispose of
the TV if it is not safe to operate.
