Ask your dealer or Sony service centre to have it

checked by qualified service personnel.

When:

– AC power cord is damaged.

– TV set is damaged by being dropped, hit or having

something thrown at it.

– Any liquid or solid object falls through openings in the

cabinet.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor

light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid

excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision

technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,

black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,

or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This

is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a

malfunction.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on

top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD

screen may be damaged.

• If this TV set 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 disappear as the

temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in

use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal

and mercury. The fluorescent tubes used in this TV set

also contain mercury. Follow your local ordinances and

regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of

the TV set

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the TV set

from AC power outlet before cleaning.

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,

observe the following precautions.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe

gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a

soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent

solution.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,

scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,

benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or

maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl

materials may result in damage to the screen surface and

cabinet material.

• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so

as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from

its table stand.

Optional Equipment

Keep optional components or any equipment emitting

electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise

picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
