To Customers

Sufficient expertise is required for TV installations. Be sure to subcontract the installation to a Sony dealer or licensed contractor and pay adequate attention to safety during the installation.

Before setting up your TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. See "Installing the TV to the Wall" if you want to mount the TV to a wall. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) and the supplied screws to complete the task, refer to the Setup Guide.

Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

  • Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.
  • Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people (three or more people for XBR-85X81CH / 85X80CH / 85X800H).
  • Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.

Securing the TV
SONY XBR65X81CH - Before setting up your TV - 3

Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from toppling over. Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death.

Preventing the TV from Toppling

  • Secure the TV to a wall and/or Stand.
  • Do not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets.
  • Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.

- Never install the TV on:

- slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces. - furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed, or knocked over.

- Install the TV so that the TV's Table-Top Stand does not protrude out from the Stand (not supplied). If the Table-Top Stand protrudes out from the Stand, it may cause TV set to topple over, fall down, and cause personal injury or damage to the TV.
