Precautions
On safety
- A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the rear of the unit.
- Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
- Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.
- To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Cleaning
Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the display.
On cleaning the display
Do not allow hard objects to scrape, or pound the display screen surface, or allow objects to hit the screen surface because that can damage the screen surface.
The display screen has a special surface treatment. Follow the instructions below to prevent impair performance because of improper handling when cleaning.
- Gently remove any dust from the screen surface with a soft cloth. A cleaning cloth or cloth for wiping glasses is preferred.
- If it is excessively dirty, clean the screen surface with a soft cleaning cloth slightly dampened with water.
- Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, acid or alkaline cleaning solvent, abrasive cleaners, or chemically-treated cloths because they will damage the screen surface.
Cleaning the cabinet
- Gently wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth. Wipe off grimy stains using a cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent, then wipe the area again using a dry, soft cloth.
- Do not use alcohol, benzine, thinner or insecticide. Doing so may damage the finish of the surface or remove the markings on the unit.
- There is a danger that the screen will be damaged if wiped with a cloth that is dirty.
- Allowing the unit to come into prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products may alter the unit or cause the protective coating to come off.
On the LCD panel
- Keeping the LCD panel facing toward the sun for a long time will damage the panel. Take this into account when you install the unit outdoors or by a window.
- Do not forcefully press or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place objects on the screen. Doing so may disrupt the display or damage the LCD screen.
- You may find that the screen is showing horizontal stripes or that it has afterimages. The screen may also look darker when using the unit in a cool environment. These do not indicate a screen malfunction. The screen will return to normal when the ambient temperature is higher.
- If a static image is displayed for a long time, screen burn or a residual image may occur. A residual image will
disappear over time. If ghosting occurs, use the screensaver function, or use some kind of video or imaging software to provide constant movement on the screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs, it may become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will never completely disappear.
- The panel surface, cabinet, or frame may warm up during use. This is not a problem.
Bright spots and dark spots on the LCD screen
Although the LCD screen is manufactured with high technology with an effective resolution of at least 99.99%, it may show dark spots (pixel defects) or bright spots (red, blue, green, etc.) that are continuously lit or flashing. These are phenomena of LCD screens that are generated sometimes by pixel defects. These may occur after the device has been used for an extended period of time.
These are not screen malfunctions.
On installation
- Always verify that the unit is operating properly before use. SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS OF PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE PROFITS DUE TO FAILURE OF THIS UNIT, EITHER DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD OR AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON WHATSOEVER.
- Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
- Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
- When you install multiple equipment with the unit, the following problems, such as malfunction of the remote control, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending on the position of the unit and other equipment.
On repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit, repack it as illustrated on the carton.
If you have any questions on this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealers.
Recommendations on Installation
Provide an ample amount of space around the display
- To prevent internal heat buildup from sealing off the display, make sure to ensure proper ventilation by leaving open the minimum amount of space around the display, as illustrated below.
- The ambient temperature must be 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Be careful when installing the display near a ceiling. The temperature there can become much higher than the normal, lower-level room temperature.
- When using the stand, you use the applicable Tabletop Stand SU-S02 (not supplied). For the fitting method, see the installation manual of the Tabletop Stand.
- Consult with Sony qualified personnel for wall mount installation.
- Regarding the installation of hardware such as brackets, screws, or bolts, we cannot specify the products. Actual installation is up to the authorized local dealers. Consult with qualified Sony personnel for installation.
- While the display is on, a certain amount of heat builds up inside. This can cause burns. Avoid touching the top or rear of the display when it is powered on or just after it has entered standby mode.

Notes
- For HDTV signals, input the tri-level sync signal to the 2nd pin of HD15 (RGB/COMPONENT) IN connector
- If colors appear too light after input of a DVD signal to the display, adjust “Chroma” in the “Picture/Sound” settings.
- When the phase is readjusted, the resolution will be reduced.
- The signals from the Macintosh computer will not be guaranteed for recognizing the digital RGB input.
- You cannot input the signal indicated with * to DVI IN.
- The signal indicated with ** does not support PinP (main picture).
- Composite synchronous signals correspond to no.2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13 and 14 in the signal table shown on the left. • Video signals without color burst signal are not guaranteed.
