Network Setup
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
Wired LAN
 , Type 4
* 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 Set-up (WPS)”.
Type 2: Follow the configuration for “Secured 
Network without Wi-Fi Protected Set-up 
(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”.
Type 1: Secured network with 
Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS)
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)”.
1Press HOME, then select   > 
“Network” > “Network Set-up”.
2Select “Wireless Set-up”.
3Select “WPS (Push Button)” for Push 
Button method or “WPS (PIN)” for 
PIN method.
~
Button name of the WPS may differ 
depending on the router (e.g. AOSS button).
4Follow the instructions on the set-up 
screen.
Type 2: Secured network 
without Wi-Fi Protected Set-up 
(WPS)
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.
1Press HOME, then select   > 
“Network” > “Network Set-up”.
2Select “Wireless Set-up”.
3Select “Scan”, then select a network 
from the list of scanned wireless 
networks.
4Follow the instructions on the set-up 
screen.
~
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.

Installing the Accessories (Wall-Mount Bracket)
To Customers:
When using the SU-WL500 and SU-WL100 Wall-Mount Bracket, the space between the wall and 
the TV will be 6 cm. Use this space to route cables to the TV. 
For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that installing of your TV be 
performed by Sony dealers or licensed contractors. Do not attempt to install it yourself.
To Sony Dealers and Contractors:
Provide full attention to safety during the installation, periodic maintenance and examination of this 
product.
Your TV can be installed using the SU-WL500 (page 31) and SU-WL100 (page 31) Wall-Mount 
Bracket (sold separately).
 Refer to the Instructions supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket to properly carry out the 
installation.
 Refer to “Detaching the Table-Top Stand from the TV” (page 9).
When installing the TV on the wall, remove the screws from the rear of the TV. The screws and 
number of screws are available depending on the TV model. (They are fastened in the screw holes 
for wall mounting.) Be sure to store the removed screws in a safe place, keeping them away from 
children.
~
When removing the Table-Top Stand from the TV, lay the display face down on a stable work surface that is
