Setting Up Your TV
Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount it 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
instructions attached to the TV unit or read the instruction in the online Reference Book.
Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:
• Carry the TV with an 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
damages.
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation if it is installed against a wall or in an enclosed area.
• 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.
Read the Dos and Don’ts in the Safety Booklet for additional safety information.
For details about the items listed above, see the online Reference Book.
When cable connection is completed, be sure to secure the TV to a stable surface or mount it to a
wall. The designated Sony wall-mount bracket model name is available on page 3. For details on
securing the TV, see page 11.
