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. Some larger size TV may require removing the Table-Top Stand; refer to the 
instructions provided with the TV.
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.
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.
 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. (Do not use the screws that are intended for the Table-Top Stand 
attachment.)
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.
Use of screws other than those supplied with the bracket 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.
