Preparation for Table-Top Stand
Follow the assembling steps required to place on a TV stand (except models: KDL-52V4100 and KDL-52W4100).
1 Remove the Table-Top Stand and screws from
the carton. The screws can be found in the accessory bag.

Carrying the TV

Be sure to follow these guidelines to protect your property and avoid causing serious injury. Before carrying the TV, disconnect all cables. Carrying the large size TV requires two or more people. When carrying the TV, place your hand as illustrated and hold it securely. Do not subject the TV to shocks, vibration, or excessive force.

3 Gently slide the TV unit onto the neck of the
Table-Top Stand and align the screw holes. Lift the TV by placing your palm directly underneath the panel but do not: squeeze the speaker grill area place your fingers in the groove above the speaker grill area put stress on the LCD panel.
Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen. Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power cord when you install the TV unit to the Table-Top Stand.
Do not lift the TV from the bottom center.
4 Use the supplied screws to attach the TV unit
to the Table-Top Stand. Shown here with a three screw model; other models may require screwing four screws (refer to the Attaching the Table-Top Stand flyer). If an electric screwdriver is used, set the torque to tighten at approximately 1.5 Nm, 15 Kgfcm.
Preparation for Wall-Mount Bracket
All models are ready to be mounted on a wall. Models KDL-52V4100 and KDL-52W4100 will require detaching the Table-Top stand. For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor. For bracket installation, refer to the supplied Installing the Wall-Mount Bracket and the instruction guide provided by the Wall-Mount Bracket model for your TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TVs 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.

8-12 mm

Follow the simple steps below to remove the Table-Top Stand:
1 Unplug the AC power cord and disconnect all
