Carrying the TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount it to a wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the instructions attached to the TV unit.

Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

•  Carry the TV with an adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
•  Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damages.
•  Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation if it is installed against a wall or in an enclosed area.
•  For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
•  Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.
•  Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.
•  Be sure to hold the bottom of the panel, and not the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill area. Do not compress the panel's speaker grill area.
•  Do not lift the TV from the bottom center.

Preparation for a Table-Top Stand

Follow the assembling steps required to place on a TV stand (except model, KDL-52V5100).

• 1. Remove the Table-Top Stand from the carton and the four screws from the bag attached to the TableTop Stand. For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the screws provided with the TV.
• 2. Place the Table-Top Stand on a level and stable surface.
• 3. Gently slide the TV unit onto the neck of the Table-Top Stand and align the screw holes.

4.  Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.
5.  Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power cord when you install the TV unit to the TableTop Stand.

• 4. Use the supplied screws to attach the TV unit to the Table-Top Stand (refer to the 'Attaching the TableTop Stand' flyer). If an electric screwdriver is used, set the torque to tighten at approximately 1.5 N·m, 15 Kgf·cm.
