How to Care for Your BRAVIA
Safety is very important, please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet) separately provided. Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the wall outlet before you begin cleaning your TV. Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package. Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning. Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture from cleaning has evaporated. The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see page 16 and 17). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to insure the TV is securely fastened.

Troubleshooting

Many problems with picture and sound quality are related to improper cable connection; refer to the Quick Setup Guide provided for sample connections.

Things to consider

Check the Input selection by pressing INPUT. You may be watching the wrong input. You may have accidentally pressed the MUTING button on your remote control; press MUTING again or press VOL + to deactivate muting. The remote control may be installed incorrectly or may be low. An object or fluorescent light may be interfering with the remote controls operation. To reset the TV to factory default settings: 1 Turn on the TV. 2 While pressing V on the Remote Control, press POWER on the TV. (The TV will turn itself off, then back on again.) WARNING: The reset will clear all of your customized settings including the Parental Lock setting. If you have forgotten your password, enter the master password: 4357. This password clears your previous password and allows you to enter a new password. The online Reference Book provides additional information on troubleshooting. Contact Sony if you need further assistance.
