• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over a period of time and the accumulated dust may
make the cooling function of the built-in fan less effective. To prevent this, we recommend
removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
Important Notice
When used at an altitude of greater than 2400m or 7891 feet (air pressure less than 750hPa), this
Plasma Display Panel may generate a low buzzing sound as a result of the difference between
the interior and exterior air pressure of the panels. This is not considered a defect and is not
covered under by the Sony Warranty. This buzzing sound is an inherent characteristic of any
Plasma Display Panel.
