(continued)12 Safety Information Precautions On viewing the TV comfortably

• To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times of the screen’s vertical length away from the TV set.

• View the TV in a moderate light room, as viewing the TV in poor light taxes your eyes. Watching the screen continuously for long periods of time can also tax your eyes. On installing the TV set Installing the display unit Use the specified wall-mount bracket or stands. Installing the media receiver unit Leave enough space for ventilation between the exhaust fan in the rear of unit and the wall.

• Do not install the display unit in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent. If the unit is exposed to extreme temperature, the unit may heat up and it may cause deformations of the casing or cause the unit to malfunction.

• After transporting the display unit directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the unit. In this case let the moisture evaporate before using the unit.

• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.

• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the switch is in Off position. To disconnect the set completely, pull the plug from the mains. On volume adjustment

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result. On image retention

• If the following images are displayed for an extended period time, image retention (afterimage) in areas of the screen may result due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display Panel. – Black bars at the top and bottom that appear with a wide video source (Letterbox picture). – Black bars to the left and right that appear with a 4:3 video source (conventional TV broadcasts). – Video game sources – PC images – DVD on-screen menu displays – On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of connected equipment such as Set top box, Cable modem, VCR, etc. The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Live” mode or has a high contrast setting. This image cannot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of image retention do not leave the TV set operating on such a picture, or programme for a long time, use the “Screen Saver” function or lower the contrast setting. Repeated extended daily usage of the same image, or programme can also result in this occurrence. IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE SONY WARRANTY.

• To reduce image retention, this TV set has the “Screen Saver” function. The default setting of the “Orbit” function in “Screen Saver” is “On.”

• The “Screen Saver” function prevents and reduces image retention. On image With extensive use of this TV set in 4:3 mode, the 4:3 screen area might become darker within a 16:9 panel. To avoid this problem, the “Smart” picture mode should be used. (continued)13 Safety Information

On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel) Please note that the PDP screen is made with high-precision technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the PDP screen, and irregular coloured stripes or brightness may appear on the PDP screen. This is not a malfunction. On handling the remote control

• Handle the remote control with care. Do not drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind onto it.• Do not place the remote control in a location near a heat source, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a damp room. On handling and cleaning the screen surface of the display unit The screen of this display unit has an anti-reflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation, follow the points mentioned below. Do not push on or scratch with hard objects, or throw anything at the screen. The screen may be damaged.• Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the media receiver unit from the mains before cleaning. • Do not touch the display panel after operating continuously for along period as the display panel becomes hot. • The screen of this display unit has an anti-reflection screen coating. We recommend that the screen surface is touched as little as possible.• Clean the screen with the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.• Never use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine. This type of contact may result in damage to the screen surface. On cleaning the cabinet
• Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the media receiver unit from the mains before cleaning. • Clean the cabinet with the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.• Note that material deterioration or screen coating degradation may occur if the display unit is exposed to a volatile solvent, such as alcohol, thinner, benzine or insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over a period of time and the accumulated dust may make the cooling function of the built-in fan less effective. To prevent this, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner. Important Notice When used at an altitude of greater than 2400m or 7891 feet (air pressure less than 750hPa), this Plasma Display Panel may generate a low buzzing sound as a result of the difference between the interior and exterior air pressure of the panels. This is not considered a defect and is not covered under by the Sony Warranty. This buzzing sound is an inherent characteristic of any Plasma Display Panel.14 Safety Information Checking the Accessories Supplied One Remote Control (RM-972): Two size AAA batteries (R03 Type): One Display Interface Cable: One Coaxial Cable: One Cleaning Cloth: One AV Mouse: Two Mains Leads (Type C-4): Use these mains leads (with safety earth) if you use the set outside the United Kingdom.
