Take care not to connect too many appliances to the same power socket as this could result in fire or electric shock. For environmental and safety reasons, it is recommended that the TV set is not left in standby mode when not in use. Disconnect from the mains. Never push objects of any kind into the set as this could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set. If any liquid or solid object does fall through, do not operate the TV. Have it checked immediately by qualified personnel. Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of the TV. Refer to qualified service personnel only. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture. For your own safety, do not touch any part of the TV, power lead or aerial lead during lightning storms. Do not cover the ventilation openings of the TV For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10cm all around the set. Never place the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places. Do not install the TV where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations. To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or naked lights (eg candles) away from the TV. Clean the TV with a soft, lightly dampened cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or any other chemicals to clean the TV. Do not scratch the TV screen. As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it. Pull out the power lead by the plug. Do not pull on the power lead itself. Take care not to place heavy objects on the power lead as this could result in damage. We recommend you wind any excess lead around the holders provided on the rear of the TV. Place the TV on a secure stable stand. Do not allow children to climb on to it. Do not place the TV on its side or face up. Unplug the power lead before moving the TV.

Due to the unique floating design of this TV, Sony highly recommend you use their designated stands, SU-28FQ1 for KV-28FQ75 model and SU-32FQ1 for KV-32FQ75 model. If this recommended option is not taken, it is vitally important to ensure that any cabinet or table has a large enough surface area to accommodate all three legs of the TV without any overlap. Do not block or cover the ventilation openings. For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 cm all around the set. Safety Information Table of Contents Table of Contents Installation
