Detaching the Table-Top 
Stand from the TV

screws 
 for detaching the head when the 
Table-Top Stand is not attached to the TV.

reason other than to install corresponding 
accessories on the TV.
When removing the Table-Top Stand from the 
TV, lay the display face down on a stable work 
surface that is larger than the TV.
To prevent damaging the surface of the LCD 
display, make sure to place a soft cloth on the 
work surface.
When installing the TV on a wall, remove the 
screws from the rear of the TV. The screws and 
number of screws depends 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 attaching the Table-Top Stand again, be 
sure to fasten the screws (previously removed) 
to the original holes on the rear of the TV.

4: 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 Stand (not supplied).
1Secure 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.
2Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as follows 
(not supplied):
 M4 × 10 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.

model name.

3Anchor the TV to the Wall.
Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts, 
wall anchor and chain (or rope).
~
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 on 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.
5: Bundling the cables
~
Before bundling the cables, remove the cable 
holder from the AC cover (see step 1 and 2). 
Reuse the cable holder (see step 3) to bundle 
the other cables (see step 4).
Do not bundle the AC power cord together 
with other cables.
*When installing on the wall, attach the cable 
holder under the terminals.

off the TV during this process. This process

select Skip.
Selecting Skip will disable the Rovi 
On Screen Guide feature, which 
is only available when the TV’s 
tuner is used.
~
If you skip the channel scan while in the setup 
menus, Rovi On Screen Guide will be disabled.
Using a Wall-Mount 
Bracket
Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a 
Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of 
the box as packaged. If the Table-Top Stand 
is attached to the TV, the TV may require 
detaching the Table-Top Stand; see 
“Detaching the Table-Top Stand from the 
TV” (page 11).

For product protection and safety 
reasons, Sony strongly recommends that 
you use the Wall-Mount Bracket 
designed for your TV and the installation 
should be performed by a Sony dealer or 
licensed contractor.
 Refer to “Compatible Wall-Mount 
Bracket Information” (page 34).
 Follow the instruction guide provided 
with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your 
model. Sufficient expertise is required in 
installing this TV, especially to 
determine the strength of the wall for 
withstanding the TV’s weight.
 Be sure to use the screws supplied with 
the Wall-mount bracket when attaching 
the mounting hooks to the TV set.
The supplied screws are designed so that 
they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when 
measured from the attaching surface of 
the mounting hook.
The diameter and length of the screws 
differ depending on the Wall-mount 
bracket model. Use of screws other than 
those supplied may result in internal 
damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, 
etc.
 Be sure to store the unused screws and 
Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you 
are ready to attach the Table-Top Stand. 
Keep the screws away from small 
children.
~
Read the supplied Safety Booklet for 
additional safety information.
Installing the TV Against a 
Wall or Enclosed Area
Make sure that your TV has adequate 
ventilation. Allow enough space around the 
TV as shown in the illustration.
~
Inadequate ventilation can lead to overheating 
of the TV and may cause damage to your TV 
or cause a fire.
