x Guidelines for Remote Control  
Before setting up  
your TV  
Point your remote control directly at the  
IR sensor located on your TV.  
Make sure that no objects are blocking  
the path between the remote control and  
the IR sensor on 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 21 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) 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 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.  
Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your  
remote control; try turning off the  
fluorescent lamps.  
If you are having problems with the  
remote control, reinsert or replace your  
batteries and make sure that they are  
correctly inserted.  
Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation,  
see page 22.  
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.

you use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed  
for your TV and the installation should be  
performed by a Sony dealer or licensed  
contractor.  
See page 37 (Compatible optional  
accessories information).  
Follow the instruction guide provided  
with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your

installing this TV, especially to determine  
the strength of the wall for withstanding  
the TV’s weight.  
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

How to Care for Your BRAVIA TV  
Safety is very important. Please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet)  
separately provided.  
Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the wall  
outlet before you begin cleaning your TV.  
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.  
If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the  
instruction provided on the package.  
Never spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It  
may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts and  
enter the TV set, and may cause damage to the TV set.  
Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or  
benzine for cleaning.  
Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture  
from cleaning has evaporated.  
The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see  
page 16). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is  
securely fastened.
