Before setting up  
your TV  
One-touch Remote Control can only be used

information on how to register, press  
i-MANUAL, then select “Table of Contents”  
t “Configuring Various Settings” t  
“General Settings” t “Setting One-touch  
Remote Control”.  
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.  
x Guidelines for Remote Control  
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.  
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.

3: Securing the TV  
Recommended Measures  
to Secure 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.  
Consider the following measures when  
securing your TV to a Stand (not supplied).  
1
Secure the Stand for the TV.  
Make sure the 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:  
Preventing the TV from  
Toppling  
Attach one side of the angle brace to  
the wall stud.  
Attach the other side to the Stand.  
Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand.  
Do not allow children to play or climb on  
furniture and TV sets.  
Angle brace  
(not supplied)  
Avoid placing or hanging items on the  
TV.  
Never install the TV on:  
– slippery, unstable and/or uneven  
surfaces.  
Stand  
– 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.  
2
Secure the TV to the Stand.  
Use the optional hardware listed as  
follows (not supplied):  
M4 machine screw (screwed into the  
TV’s Table-Top Stand)  
A screw or similar (attach it to the  
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.

An alternative way to secure the TV is  
with an optional Sony Support Belt Kit.  
The Sony Support Belt Kit is available as  
an optional accessory, depending on  
your TV model.

Anchor the TV to the Wall.  
Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts,  
wall anchor and chain (or rope).

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.

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 17). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is  
securely fastened.
