Mains lead

Handle the mains lead and socket as follows in order to avoid any risk of fire, electrical shock or damage and/or injuries:

  • Use only mains leads supplied by Sony, not other suppliers.

  • Disconnect the mains lead from the mains socket before working on or moving the TV set.
  • Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.
  • Unplug the mains plug and clean it regularly. If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up moisture, its insulation may deteriorate, which could result in a fire.

☐Do not pinch, bend, or twist the mains lead excessively. The core conductors may be exposed or broken.

□Do not modify the mains lead.
□Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

□View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.
□When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

□Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.
☐Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be damaged.
□If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.
□Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
☐The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This is not a malfunction.
☐The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal. Some fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain mercury. Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from mains socket before cleaning.

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.

☐To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.
□Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.
□When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from its table stand.

Optional Equipment

Keep optional components or any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.

Batteries

□Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.
☐Do not use different types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.
☐ Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way. Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries. Please consult your local authority.
□Handle the remote with care. Do not drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind onto it.
☐Do not place the remote in a location near a heat source, a place subject to direct sunlight, or a damp room.

Using BRAVIA Sync (Control for HDMI)

The control for HDMI function enables the TV to communicate with the connected equipment that is compatible with the function, using HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). For example, by connecting Sony equipment that is compatible with control for HDMI (with HDMI cables), you can control them together. Be sure to connect the equipment correctly, and make the necessary settings.

Control for HDMI

  • Automatically turns the connected equipment off when you switch the TV to standby mode using the remote.
  • Automatically turns the TV on and switches the input to the connected equipment when the equipment starts to play.
  • If you turn on a connected audio system while the TV is on, the sound output switches from the TV speaker to the audio system.
  • Adjusts the volume ( + / - ) and mutes the sound ( ) of a connected audio system.
  • You can operate the connected Sony equipment that has the BRAVIA Sync logo by the TV remote by pressing:

- ▶/■/■/◄◄/►► to operate the connected equipment directly.

- SYNC MENU to display the menu of the connected HDMI equipment on the screen. After displaying the menu, you can operate the menu screen by using // and .

- TOOLS to display "Device Control", then select options from "Menu", "Options", and "Content List" to operate the equipment.

– Refer to the instruction manual of the equipment for available control.

To connect the equipment that is compatible with control for HDMI

Connect the compatible equipment and the TV with an HDMI cable. When connecting an audio system, be sure to also connect the DIGITAL AUDIO (PCM) OUT (OPTICAL) socket of the TV and the audio system using an optical audio cable (except for KDL-40S40xx/40U40xx/40L4000). For details, see page 21.

To make the control for HDMI settings

The control for HDMI settings must be set on both the TV side and connected equipment side. See “HDMI Set-up” on page 30 for the TV side settings. For settings on the connected equipment, refer to the operating instructions for that equipment.
