GB

Install 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.

• The 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.

• Before 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.

• Never 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, 
such as curtains, or items such as 
newspapers, etc.

–

Do not install the TV set as shown 
below.

Handle 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. 

• Do 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.

• Do not pull on the mains lead itself when 

disconnecting the mains lead.

• Do not connect too many appliances to 

the same mains socket.

• Do not use a poor fitting mains socket.

Do not install/use the TV set in locations, 
environments or situations such as those 
listed below, or the TV set may 
malfunction and cause a fire, electrical 
shock, damage and/or injuries.

• Outdoors (in direct sunlight), at the 

seashore, on a ship or other vessel, inside 
a vehicle, in medical institutions, 
unstable locations, near water, rain, 
moisture or smoke.

• If the TV is placed in the changing room 

of a public bath or hot spring, the TV 
may be damaged by airborne sulfur, etc. 

• For best picture quality, do not expose 

the screen to direct illumination or 
sunlight.

• 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 colour. 
Should this occur, allow moisture to 
evaporate completely before powering 
the TV on.
