- Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
- Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

- Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or playing 3D video games. Sony recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D video images or playing 3D video games. The length and frequency of necessary breaks will vary from person to person. You must decide what works best. If you experience any discomfort, you should stop watching the 3D video images or playing 3D video games until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if you believe necessary. You should also review (i) the instruction manual of any other device or media used with this television and (ii) our website (http://www.sony-asia.com/support) for the latest information. The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development. Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or play 3D video games. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed above.

- When using the simulated 3D function, please note that the displayed image is modified from the original due to the conversion done by this television.

- 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. Some fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain mercury (except LED backlight LCD TV). 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 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 spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts and enter the TV set, and may cause damage to the TV set.

By inserting the USB Wireless LAN Adaptor into your TV's USB port, you can easily create a cable-free network. Before setting up the wireless LAN function of the TV, be sure to set up a wireless LAN router.

SONY KDL-40CX523 - Preparing a wireless LAN - 2

- The USB Wireless LAN Adaptor is available as an optional accessory, depending on your TV model.

Setting up the Internet connection

Using the network feature you can connect the TV to the Internet. The set-up procedure differs depending on the type of network and LAN router. Before setting up the Internet connection, be sure to set up a LAN router. Check your wireless LAN environment using the following chart.

Wireless LAN

Secure Wireless LAN?

NO → Type 3

YES ↓

Do you use a wireless LAN router compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS)?

NO → Type 2

YES ↓ Type 1*

Wired LAN → Type 4

* Type 1 is easier to set up if your router has an automatic setting button, e.g. Air Station One-Touch Secure System (AOSS). Most of the latest routers have this function. Check your router.

Type 1: Follow the configuration for “Secured Network with Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS)”.

Type 2: Follow the configuration for “Secured Network without Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS)”.

Type 3: Follow the configuration for "Unsecured Network with Any Type of Wireless LAN Router".

Type 4: Follow the configuration for “Wired network set-up”.

Type 1: Secured network with Wi-Fi protected Set-up (WPS)

The WPS standard makes security of a wireless home network as straightforward as pressing the WPS button on the wireless LAN router. Before setting up a wireless LAN, check the location of the WPS button on the router and verify how to use it.

For security purpose, “WPS (PIN)” provides a PIN code for your router. PIN code is renewed every time you select “WPS (PIN)”.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Network Set-up".
2 Select "Wireless Set-up".
3 Select "WPS (Push Button)" for Push Button method or "WPS (PIN)" for PIN method.
- Button name of the WPS may differ depending on the router (e.g. AOSS button).
4 Follow the instructions on the set-up screen.

Type 2: Secured network without Wi-Fi protected Set-up (WPS)

To set up a wireless LAN, SSID (wireless network name) and security key (WEP or WPA key) will be required. If you do not know them, consult the instruction manual of your router.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Network Set-up".
2 Select "Wireless Set-up".
3 Select "Scan", then select a network from the list of scanned wireless networks.
4 Follow the instructions on the set-up screen.

[NO TEXT]

- If you use WPS for network set-up, the security settings of the wireless LAN router activate, and any equipment previously connected to the wireless LAN in a non-secure status will be disconnected from the network.

In this case, activate the security settings of the disconnected equipment and then reconnect. Or, you can deactivate the security settings of the wireless LAN router, and then connect the equipment to a TV in a non-secure status.

Type 3: Unsecured network with any type of wireless LAN router

To set up a wireless LAN, SSID (wireless network name) will be required.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Network Set-up".
2 Select "Wireless Set-up".
3 Select "Scan", then select a network from the list of scanned wireless networks.
4 Follow the instructions on the set-up screen.

[NO TEXT]

- Security key (WEP or WPA key) will not be required because you do not need to select any security method in this procedure.

Type 4: Wired network set-up

Enter the respective alphanumeric values for your router if necessary. The items that need to be set (e.g. IP Address, Subnet Mask, DHCP) may differ depending on the Internet service provider or router. For details, refer to the instruction manuals provided by your Internet service provider, or those supplied with the router.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Network Set-up".
2 Select "Wired Set-up".
3 Select "Auto" to set the IP Address and proxy server automatically, or "Custom" to set them manually.
4 Follow the instructions on the set-up screen.

Viewing the network status

You can confirm your network status.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Network Set-up".
2 Select "View Network Status".

If you cannot connect to the Internet

Use the diagnosis to check possible causes for network connection failures, and settings.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Network Set-up".
2 Select "View Network Status".
3 Select “Check Connection”. This may take several minutes. You cannot cancel the diagnosis after selecting “Check Connection”.

Adjusting the server display settings

You can select home network servers to be displayed on the Home Menu. Up to 10 servers can be displayed in the Home Menu automatically.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Home Network Setup".
2 Select "Server Display Settings".
3 Select the server you want to display on the Home Menu, and adjust the settings.

If you cannot connect to your home network

The TV detects if the server is being correctly recognised when you cannot connect it to your home network. If the diagnostic results indicate a failure, check possible causes, and network connections and settings.

1 Press HOME, then select 📋 > "Network" > "Home Network Setup".

2 Select "Server Diagnostics".

The server diagnostic starts. When the server diagnostic is complete, the diagnostic result list appears.

AC power cord

Handle the AC power cord and outlet as follows in order to avoid any risk of fire, electrical shock or damage and/or injuries:

– Use only Sony supplied AC power cords, not those of other brands.

- Insert the plug fully into the AC power outlet.

- Operate the TV set on a 110–240 V AC supply only.

- When wiring cables, be sure to unplug the AC power cord for your safety and take care not to catch your feet on the cables.

- Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC power outlet before working on or moving the TV set.

- Keep the AC power cord away from heat sources.

- Unplug the AC power plug and clean it regularly. If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up moisture, its insulation may deteriorate, which could result in a fire.

  • Do not pinch, bend, or twist the AC power cord excessively. The core conductors may be exposed or broken.
  • Do not modify the AC power cord.

  • Do not connect too many appliances to the same AC power outlet.
  • Do not use a poor fitting AC power outlet.
