may have an adverse effect on some people. The contacted area should
be rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions persist, see your doctor.
s If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch the TV until you have
unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result.
SERVICING
Do not use the TV if you suspect the TV is
damaged or if the TV is damaged.
s Do not attempt to service the TV yourself
since opening the cabinet may expose you
to dangerous voltage levels or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
s If replacement parts are required, acquire a
written certification from the service
technician which states that adequate
replacement parts with the same or similar
characteristics as the original parts have been
used. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.

Welcome to the World of

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color Television. This
manual is for model KDL-40S4100/KDL-46S4100/KDL-52S4100. Be sure
to check the supplied accessories against the list on page 43.
Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio
You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD
signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a
big difference.
High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the
width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standard-
definition TV.
You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages
24, 29 and 30).
16:9 (high-definition) source
Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect rati
o
of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen,
maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
4:3 (standard-definition) source
Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3
aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an
HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The
picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD
sources.

Securing the TV
Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from toppling
over; as 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.
❑ Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible
to curious children.
Use a Sony TV
Stand
Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) and follow the instruction
manual provided with the Sony TV stand.
If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider the following
recommended measures.
Recommended
Measures to Secure
the TV
1 Secure the Stand for the TV.
Make sure the TV stand can adequately support the weight of the TV.
Use two angle braces (not supplied) to secure the stand.
For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware to:
• attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.
• attach the other side to the TV stand.

2 Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):
• M6 × 12-18mm anchor bolt (screwed into the TV’s Table-Top Stand).
• A screw or similar (attach it to the TV stand).
• Rope or chain (strong enough to support the weight of the TV). Make
sure that there is no excess slack in the rope or chain.
An alternative way to secure the TV is with an optional Sony Support Belt Kit.
3 Anchor the TV to the Wall.
Use the hardware listed below (not supplied).
• Two M6 × 12-18mm anchor bolts (screw into the top-most wall-
mount holes located on the rear of the TV).
• Rope or chain (attach to one M6 anchor bolt).
• Wall-anchor (attach to the wall stud) strong enough to support the
weight of the TV (pass the rope through the wall-anchor, then attach
to the other M6 anchor bolt).
Contact Sony Customer Support to obtain the optional Support Belt Kit
by providing your TV model name.
– For United States call: 1-800-488-7669
or visit: www.sony.com/accessories
– For Canada call: 1-877-899-7669
Measure 2 provides minimal protection against the TV toppling over.
For further protection, follow all three measures recommended above.

Preparation for Wall Mounting
This TV can be installed on a wall by using a Wall-Mount Bracket (sold
separately). Before mounting the TV on a wall, the Table-Top Stand must be
removed from the TV.
Follow the simple steps below to remove the Table-Top Stand:
1 Disconnect all the cables from the TV.
2 Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the TV.
3 Adjust the angle of the Mounting Hook.
4 Start removing the screws behind the TV (See illustration below). Do
not remove any other screws from the TV.
5 When screws are removed, lift the TV off the stand. Make sure that you
carry out this task with at least two people. Do not attempt to lift the TV
by yourself.
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.
Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when
attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. The supplied M6 screws are
designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the
attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length of the
screws differ depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model. Use of screws
other than those supplied may result in internal damage to the TV set or
cause it to fall, etc.
Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason other than to wall-
mount the TV.
