Setting up your TV
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 13.
 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.
Attaching the Table-Top 
Stand 
(except KDL-60EX700/60EX701/
60EX703 models)
Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand 
instruction leaflet for proper attachment.
1Gently slide the TV unit onto the 
Table-Top Stand and align the screw 
holes.
~
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 unit to the 
Table-Top Stand.
2Use the supplied screws to attach the 
TV unit to the Table-Top Stand. 
~
If you use an electric screwdriver, set the 
tightening torque at approximately 1.5 N·m 
{15 kgf·cm}.
3After all the screws are tighten cover 
the Table-Top Stand with the supplied 
Stand Rear Cover.
~
You can attach the TV to the Table-Top Stand 
with the Stand Rear Cover on with the exception 
of the 32 and 40 models. The 32 and 40

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).
1Secure 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:
 Attach one side of the angle brace to the 
wall stud. 
 Attach the other side to the TV stand. 
2Secure the TV to the Stand
Use the optional hardware listed below (not 
supplied):
 M4 × 16 machine screw (screwed into the 
TV’s Table-Top Stand)
 A screw or similar (attach it to the TV 
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.
~
Contact Sony Customer Support to obtain the 
optional Support Belt Kit by providing your TV 
model name.
