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 and the supplied  
screws to complete the task. Look for the attachment instructions provided with the TV.  
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.  
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 18.  
• 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.

• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.  
• Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power cord when you install the TV set to the Table-  
Top Stand.

Detaching the Table-Top Stand from the TV  
To detach the Table-Top Stand from the TV, remove the screws  
fixed in step 2.  
• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason other than to install corresponding  
accessories on the TV.  
• When removing the Table-Top Stand from the TV, lay the display face down on a stable work  
surface that is larger than the TV.  
• To prevent damaging the surface of the LCD display, make sure to place a soft cloth on the work  
surface.  
• When installing the TV on a wall, remove the screws from the rear of the TV. Be sure to store the  
removed screws in a safe place, keeping them away from children.  
• When attaching the Table-Top Stand again, be sure to fasten the screws (previously removed)  
to the original holes on the rear of the TV.

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:

Preparing a Wireless LAN  
Wireless LAN Ready lets you easily  
access the Internet and your home  
network with the USB Wireless LAN  
Adapter UWA-BR100. By inserting the  
USB Wireless LAN Adapter into your TV’s  
USB port, you can easily create a cable-  
free network. Before setting up the  
wireless LAN function of the TV, be sure to  
set up a wireless LAN router.  
Using the network feature you can  
connect the TV to the Internet. The set-up  
procedure differs depending on the type  
of network and LAN router. Before setting  
up the Internet connection, be sure to set  
up a LAN router. Check your wireless LAN  
environment using the following chart.

The WPS standard makes security of a  
wireless home network as straightforward  
as pressing the WPS button on the  
wireless LAN router. Before setting up a  
wireless LAN, check the location of the  
WPS button on the router and verify how  
to use it.  
For security purpose, WPS (PIN) provides  
a PIN code for your router. PIN code is  
renewed every time you select WPS  
(PIN).  
To set up a wireless LAN, SSID (wireless  
network name) and security key (WEP or  
WPA key) will be required. If you do not  
know them, consult the instruction manual  
of your router.

connected to the wireless LAN in a non-  
secure status will be disconnected from the  
network.  
In this case, activate the security settings of  
the disconnected equipment and then  
reconnect. Or, you can deactivate the  
security settings of the wireless LAN router,  
and then connect the equipment to a TV in a  
non-secure status.

Using a Wall-Mount Bracket  
Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the  
box as packaged. Some larger size TV may require removing the Table-Top Stand; refer  
to the instructions provided with the TV.  
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.  
For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you  
use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed for your TV and the installation should be  
performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.  
• 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.  
• 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.

Condition  
Explanation/Solution  
General  
TV screen feels warm  
• Due to the thin profile of this television, the heat generated by the  
LCD panel backlight and supporting electronics will be more  
noticeable. This is normal operation and not a cause for concern.  
Wide Mode changes  
automatically  
• The current Wide Mode setting is automatically replaced with the  
4:3 Default setting when you change the channel or video input,  
if 4:3 Default in the Screen settings is set to other than Off. If you  
want to lock in Wide Mode selected with WIDE on the remote  
control, set 4:3 Default to Off in the Screen settings (see page  
54).  
• Check the Auto Wide option in the Screen settings (see page  
54).  
Suddenly the picture  
gets smaller  
• 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 33). This setting will remain in  
effect until you change the channel or input or manually change  
the Wide Mode again.  
“Black box” on screen  
• You have selected a text option and no text is available (see  
page 62). To turn off this feature, set the CC Display option to  
Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1  
instead of Text1-4.  
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).  
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.

These signal compressions are more visible and are dependent  
on the clarity and resolution of the TV.
