Safety

s s s Operate the TV only on 120 V AC. Use the AC power cord specified by Sony and suitable for the voltage where you use it. The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer. If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet, unplug the TV immediately and have it checked by qualified service personnel before operating it further. If you will not be using the TV for several days, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the cord. When disconnecting AC power cord, the power cord should be easily accessible for disconnection. For details concerning safety precautions, see Safety and Regulatory Booklet. The TV should be installed near an easily accessible power outlet. To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation openings. Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration. Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41F (5C). If the TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color due to moisture condensation. In this case, please wait a few hours to let the moisture evaporate before turning on the TV. To obtain the best picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. It is recommended to use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or to cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery. It is desirable to install the TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material.

To Customers

Sufficient expertise is required for installing the specified TV. Be sure to subcontract the installation to Sony dealer or licensed contractors and pay adequate attention to safety during the installation.
