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 15.
 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-60NX800 model)
Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand 
instruction leaflet for proper attachment for 
some TV models.

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.
