Safety 
Information
Installation/Set-upInstall and use the TV set in accordance 
with the instructions as follows in order to 
avoid any risk of fire, electrical shock or 
damage and/or injuries.
InstallationThe TV set should be installed near an 
easily accessible mains socket.
Place the TV set on a stable, level 
surface.
Only qualified service personnel should 
carry out wall installations.
For safety reasons, it is strongly 
recommended that you use Sony 
accessories, including:
–Wall Mount Bracket:
SU-WL500 (except KDL-26/24/
22EX32x)
SU-WL100 (KDL-26/24/22EX32x)
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.
TransportingBefore transporting the TV set, 
disconnect all cables.
Two or three people are needed to 
transport a large TV set.
When transporting the TV set by hand, 
hold it as shown in the illustration. Do 
not put stress on the LCD panel and the 
frame around the screen.
When transporting the TV set, do not 
subject it to jolts or excessive vibration.
When transporting the TV set for repairs 
or when moving, pack it using the 
original carton and packing material.
VentilationNever cover the ventilation holes or 
insert anything in the cabinet.
Leave space around the TV set as shown 
below.
It is strongly recommended that you use 
a Sony wall-mount bracket in order to 
provide adequate air-circulation.

To ensure proper ventilation and prevent 
the collection of dirt or dust:
–Do not lay the TV set flat, install 
upside down, backwards, or 
sideways.
–Do not place the TV set on a shelf, 
rug, bed or in a closet.
–Do not cover the TV set with a cloth,

Mains leadHandle the mains lead and socket as 
follows in order to avoid any risk of fire, 
electrical shock or damage and/or injuries:
–Use only mains leads supplied by 
Sony, not other suppliers.
–Insert the plug fully into the mains 
socket.
–Operate the TV set on a 220-240 V AC 
supply only.
–When wiring cables, be sure to unplug 
the mains lead for your safety and take 
care not to catch your feet on the 
cables.
–Disconnect the mains lead from the 
mains socket before working on or 
moving the TV set.
–Keep the mains lead away from heat 
sources.
–Unplug the mains plug and clean it 
regularly. If the plug is covered with 
dust and it picks up moisture, its 
insulation may deteriorate, which 
could result in a fire. 
NotesDo not use the supplied mains lead on 
any other equipment.
Do not pinch, bend, or twist the mains 
lead excessively. The core conductors 
may be exposed or broken.
Do not modify the mains lead.
Do not put anything heavy on the mains 
lead.

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more.
Please see overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the process of digital TV switchover 
in the UK. Digital UK provides impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for the 
move to digital, and when they need to do it.
How the switchover affects your TV equipment:
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by 
simply plugging it into your aerial socket (check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now, 
or whether youll have to wait until switchover, at www.digitaluk.co.uk).
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need 
to re-tune your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick up new 
ones. Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover, will advise you when you need to re-
tune during the switchover.
Keep this Instruction 
manual safe you’ll
need it
