Safety information
Mains lead
• Observe the followings to prevent the mains lead being
damaged. If the mains lead is damaged, it may result in a
fire or an electric shock.
– Unplug the mains
lead when moving
the TV set.
– When you disconnect
the mains lead,
disconnect it from the
mains socket first.
– Be sure to grasp the plug when
disconnecting the mains lead. Do
not pull on the mains lead itself.
– 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.
– Keep the mains lead away from heat
sources.
• If you damage the mains lead, stop
using it and ask your dealer or Sony service centre to
exchange it.
• Do not use the supplied mains lead on any other
equipment.
• Use only an original Sony mains lead, not other brands.
Mains socket
• The TV set with a three-wire grounding
type mains plug must be connected to a
mains socket with a protective earthing
connection.
• Do not use a poor fitting mains socket.
Insert the plug fully into the mains socket.
A poor fit may cause arcing and result in a
fire. Contact your electrician to have the
mains socket changed.
Cleaning the mains plug
Unplug the mains plug and clean it
regularly. If the plug is covered with dust
and it picks up moisture, its insulation may
deteriorate and result in a fire.
Overloading
This TV set is designed to operate on
a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take
care not to connect too many
appliances to the same mains socket
as this could result in a fire or an electric shock.
When not in use
• If you will not be using the TV
set for several days, the TV set
should be disconnected from
the mains for environmental
and safety reasons.
• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the
TV set is switched off. To disconnect the TV set
completely, pull the plug from the mains. However, some
TV sets may have features which need the TV set to be left
in standby to work correctly.
Carrying
• Before carrying the TV set, disconnect all the cables from
the TV set.
• Carrying the large size TV set requires two or more
people.
• When you carry the TV set by hand,
hold the TV set as illustrated on the
right. When lifting the TV set or moving
the panel of the TV set, hold it firmly
from the bottom. If you do not do so, the
TV set may fall and be damaged or cause
serious injury.
• When transporting it, do not subject the TV set to jolts or
excessive vibration. The TV set may fall and be damaged
or cause serious injury.
• If the TV set has been dropped or damaged, have it

it, pack it using the original carton and packing material.
