Sony kdlv26-32-40xbr1 User Manual

 

February 8, 2006 

Dear Valued Sony Customer: 

Our records indicate that you recently purchased a

 

KDLV26/32/40XBR1 (Bravia) Flat Panel or a 

KDFE42/50A10 (Grand Wega) Rear Projection LCD television. We have recently learned that a 

limited number of these televisions manufactured through November 2005 temporarily may not, 

after a long period of time depending upon usage, turn either on or off due to a software issue.  

This condition is easily resolved with a simple software upgrade provided by Sony at no charge.   

 

To confirm if your unit may be affected, please go to www.updatemytv.com and input your 

television’s model and serial number.

 

The television model number, serial number and

 

manufactured date can be found on the back of your television (sample labels shown below).    

 

  

 

 

        

 

      

 

The website will verify if your unit is affected and provide you with information on how to obtain 

the free software upgrade. If you do not have web access, please contact Sony Customer Service 

toll-free at 1-866-210-6333. Please have your model and 7-digit serial number available. 

Not all Sony televisions are affected. No safety issues exist with your TV. If you have already 

experienced this software issue, the television can be temporarily reset by disconnecting the AC 

Power Cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 30 seconds and then reconnect the AC power cord 

to the wall outlet. After this reset procedure, the television should work properly until another 

several months of use has accumulated. 

 

Sony is providing this software update at no charge to owners of affected televisions through 

March 1, 2008. Terms of Sony’s limited warranty otherwise continue to apply.  We apologize for 

any inconvenience this may have caused you and will continue to provide superior customer 

service for your Sony television. 

Best Regards, 

Sony Electronics Inc.
