Getting Started  
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. 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 Table-Top Stand instruction  
leaflet.  
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.  
• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.  
Be sure to hold the bottom of  
the panel, not the front part.  
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 13.  
• 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.  
5
 
   
Attaching the Table-Top Stand  
Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet for proper attachment.  
• Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power cord when you install the TV set to the Table-  
Top Stand.  
1
Place the TV set on the Table-Top Stand.  
2
Fix the TV to the Table-Top Stand using the supplied screws. The arrow marks  
indicate the location of the screw holes used for securing the Table-Top Stand.  
• Hold the TV with one hand to avoid it dropping when attaching.  
• Align the TV from the top, slide it in until the guide pins cannot be seen.  
• If using an electric screwdriver, set the torque at approximately 1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm}.  
• When detaching the Table-Top Stand, reverse the attaching procedure. Do not remove any  
screws other than those used when attaching the Table-Top Stand.  
6
 
 
• Be sure the TV is on the vertical position before switching on.  
• TV set must not powered on with LCD panel face down to avoid uneven picture uniformity.

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.  
Recommended Measures to Secure the TV  
Consider the following measures when securing your TV to a TV stand (not supplied).  
1
Secure the stand for the TV.  
Make sure the TV 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 TV stand.

Secure the TV to the stand.  
Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):  
• M4 machine screw (screwed into the screw hole of the TV).  
• A screw or similar (attach it to the TV stand).  
• Rope or chain (strong enough to support the weight of the TV). Make sure that there is  
no excess slack in the rope or chain.

• Securing the TV to the stand without securing the TV and the stand to the wall provides minimum  
protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, be sure to follow the three  
measures recommended.  
• Your TV is shipped with screws attached to the rear of the TV depending on the TV model. (They  
are fastened in the screw holes for wall mounting.) Be sure to remove the upper two screws prior  
to anchoring the TV to a wall.

Using a Wall-Mount Bracket  
This TV’s instruction manual only shows the steps on preparing the installation of the TV  
before installing to the wall.  
Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the  
box as packaged. If the Table-Top Stand is attached to the TV, the TV may require  
detaching the Table-Top Stand.  
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.  
Sony does not supply the Wall-Mount Bracket or the installing service. For product  
protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that installing of your  
TV on the wall be performed by qualified professionals. Do not attempt to install it  
yourself.  
• Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model.  
Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength  
of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.  
• The length of the screw for Wall-Mount Bracket differs depending on the mounting  
hook thickness. Please see below illustration.  
8-12 mm  
Screw M6  
Mounting Hook  
Hook attachment on rear of TV set  
• Be sure to store the unused screws and Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you are  
ready to attach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children.  
• Read the supplied Safety Booklet for additional safety information.

• The picture gets smaller during the commercials due to the  
method in which the provider broadcasts their content. When HD  
content channels switch to SD content (commercials), the picture  
may be small with a black border.  
Auto Wide will not expand the picture during these content  
changes since the content information is regulated by the  
channel signal provider. You can manually change the Wide  
Mode if you prefer (see page 24). This setting will remain in  
effect until you change the channel or input or manually change  
the Wide Mode again.

Condition  
Explanation/Solution  
Black bands appear at  
the edges of the screen  
• Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are  
greater than 16:9 (this is especially common with theatrical  
releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at  
the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the  
documentation that came with your DVD/Blu-ray (or contact your  
program provider).  
• Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right  
sides of the screen.  
• Programs broadcast in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3  
content will commonly have black bands on the left and right  
sides of the screen which are added by the broadcaster (see  
image on left).  
• Some cable and satellite set-top boxes can also control the size  
of the picture. If you are using a set-top box, refer to the  
manufacturer of the set-box for more information.  
Auto Wide will not expand the picture when the black bands on  
the sides of the screen are added by the broadcaster. You can  
manually change the Wide Mode to Wide Zoom, or Zoom to fill  
the screen, which will remain in effect until you change the  
channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again.  
Certain programs on  
DVD or other digital  
sources display a loss of  
detail, especially during  
fast-motion or dark  
scenes  
• This is due to the digital compression of the source content used  
by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs which may cause your  
TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts  
(small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen.  
These signal compressions are more visible and are dependent  
on the clarity and resolution of the TV.  
Remote control does not • To determine if the problem is with the remote control or not,

• Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.  
• Point the remote control at the remote control sensor located at  
the front of the TV.  
• Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.  
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control  
operation; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.
