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.
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.
