You can adjust the fine tuning over a range of -15 to +15. When “On” is selected, the fine tuning is performed automatically.
Audio Filter
Improves the sound for individual channels in the case of distortion in mono broadcasts. Sometimes a non-standard broadcast signal can cause sound distortion or intermittent sound muting when watching mono programme.
If you do not experience any sound distortion, we recommend that you leave this option set to the factory setting “Off”.

Additional Information
Preparation for Wall Mounting
This TV can be installed on a wall by using the Wall-Mount Bracket SU-WL100 (sold separately). Before mounting the TV on a wall, the Stand Base must be removed from the TV.
Note
Do not remove the Stand Base for any reason other than to wall-mount the TV.
Follow the simple steps below to remove the Stand Base:
1 Disconnect all the cables from the TV. 2 Cover a level and stable surface with a thick and soft cloth. 3 Gently lay the TV, face down, onto the cloth. Make sure the Stand Base is hanging over the edge. 4 Rotate the cable holder 90 degrees, and pull it out completely.
5 Detach the Stand Base from the TV.
① Remove the two screws.
② Hold the Stand Base firmly, and then press the stopper to release the Stand Base from the TV.
6 Do not remove any other screws from the TV. 7 After detaching the Stand Base, cover the holes with the Hole Masks (supplied).
For bracket installation, refer to the instruction guide provided by the Wall-Mount Bracket model for your TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV's weight. For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by Sony dealers or licensed contractors.
Note
Be sure to store the removed screws and Stand Base in a safe place until you are ready to reattach the Stand Base. Keep the screws away from small children.
