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. See page 41 (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 Startup Guide. 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.
Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 42.
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.
Securing the TV
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. Install the TV so that the TV's Table-Top
Stand does not protrudes out from the Stand (not supplied). If the Table-Top Stand protrudes out from the Stand, it may cause TV set to topple over, fall down, and cause personal injury or damage to the TV.
Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.
Getting Started 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:
Attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.
Attach the other side to the Stand.
2 Secure the TV to the Stand. Use the optional hardware listed as follows (not supplied):
M6 machine screws (screwed into the TV's rear cover).
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.
The length of the M6 machine screw differs depending on the rope or chain diameter. Please refer to below illustration.
3 Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts, wall anchor and chain (or rope).
Please see below illustration for M6 eye bolt length.
Note 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.
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.

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.

Setting up the Internet Connection 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.
Wireless LAN
* Type 1 is easier to set up if your router has an automatic setting button, e.g. Air Station One- Touch Secure System (AOSS). Most of the latest routers have this function. Check your router.
Type 1: Follow the configuration for Secured network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Type 2: Follow the configuration for Secured network without Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Type 3: Follow the configuration for Unsecured network with any type of wireless LAN router.
Type 4: Follow the configuration for Wired network set-up.
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)].
1 Press HOME, then select [Settings] [Preferences] [Setup] [Network] [Network Setup].
2 IP Address setting/Proxy server: automatic setting: [Set up network connection] [Easy] manual setting: [Set up network connection] [Expert] [Wireless Setup]
3 Select [WPS (Push Button)] for Push Button method or [WPS (PIN)] for PIN method.
Note Button name of the WPS may differ depending on the router (e.g. AOSS button).
4 Follow the instructions on the set-up screen.
Note If you use WPS for network set-up, the security
settings of the wireless LAN router activate, and any equipment previously 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.
To use the network with IPv6, select [Settings] [Preferences] [Setup] [Network] [IPv6/IPv4 Priority] [IPv6], then select [Easy] in [Set up network connection].
When IPv6 is selected, HTTP Proxy cannot be set.
