AC power cord

Observe the followings to prevent the AC power cord from being damaged. If the AC power cord is damaged, it may result in a fire or an electric shock. Stop using it and ask your dealer or Sony service center to exchange it. s Do not place the TV where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse. s Do not pinch, bend, or twist the cord excessively. The core lines may be bared and cut, causing a short-circuit, and resulting in a fire or an electric shock. s Do not convert or damage the power cord. s Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord. s Do not move the TV with the power cord plugged in. s Keep the power cord away from heat sources. s When you disconnect the AC power cord, disconnect it from the wall outlet first. s Be sure to grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Do not pull the power cord. s Do not use the supplied AC power cord on any other equipment. s Use only an original Sony AC power cord, not other brands.

Wall outlet

The TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC power cord plug must be connected to an AC power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. Do not use a poor fitting outlet. Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it is loose, it may cause arcing and result in a fire. Contact your electrician to have the outlet changed.

Wiring

When connecting cables, be sure to unplug the AC power cord for your safety. Take care not to catch your feet on the cables. It may damage the TV set.

Electric shock

Do not touch the AC power cord or the TV with a wet hand. If you plug/unplug the AC power cord from the TV with a wet hand, it may cause electric shock.

Lightning storms

For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power line surges.

When not in use

If you will not be using the TV set for several days, the TV set should be disconnected from the AC power outlet for environmental and safety reasons. The TV set is not disconnected from the AC power source when the TV set is switched off. To disconnect the TV set completely, pull the plug from the AC power outlet.

Overloading

This TV set is designed to operate on a 120 - 240 V AC supply only. Take care not to connect too many appliances to the same AC power outlet as this could result in a fire or an electric shock.

Optional equipment

Do not install optional equipment too close to the TV set. Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.

LCD SCREEN

s Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction. s The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and to achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this TVs backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a dark ambient without an input source or a blank screen. This condition is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode, Backlight setting, enabling the Light Sensor, or turning on the Power management will improve this condition. s Do not expose the LCD screen surface to direct sunlight. Doing so may damage the LCD panel. s Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on top of the TV. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged. s If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena improve as the temperature rises. s Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It should disappear after a few moments. s The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV is in use. This is not a malfunction. s Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the screen. s Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or plastic material.
