• One-touch Remote Control can only be used
after registration with the TV. For more
information on how to register, press
i-MANUAL, then select “Table of Contents”
t “Configuring Various Settings” t
“General Settings” t “Setting One-touch
Remote Control”.
x Guidelines for Remote Control
• Point your remote control directly at the
IR sensor located on your TV.
• Make sure that no objects are blocking
the path between the remote control and
the IR sensor on your TV.
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your
remote control; try turning off the
fluorescent lamps.
• If you are having problems with the
remote control, reinsert or replace your
batteries and make sure that they are
correctly inserted.
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
page 22 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) 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. Look
for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction
leaflet.
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.
• Correct hand placement while carrying
the TV is very important for safety and to
avoid damage.
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation,
see page 23.
• For best picture quality, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or
sunlight.
• Avoid installing the TV in a room with
reflective wall and floor materials.
• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to
a warm area. Sudden room temperature
changes may cause moisture
condensation. This may cause the TV to
show poor picture and/or poor color.
Should this occur, allow moisture to
evaporate completely before powering
the TV on.

keeping them away from children.
• When attaching the Table-Top Stand again,
be sure to fasten the screws (previously
removed) to the original holes on the rear of
the TV.
2: Connecting the TV
~

3: Securing the TV
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.
• 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.
Consider the following measures when
securing your TV to a Stand (not supplied).
1 Secure the Stand for the TV.
Make sure the 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 Stand.
2 Secure the TV to the Stand.
Use the optional hardware listed as
follows (not supplied):
• M4 machine screw (screwed into the
TV’s Table-Top Stand)
• A screw or similar (attach it to the
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.
The Sony Support Belt Kit is available as
an optional accessory, depending on
your TV model.
The length of the M4 machine screw
differs depending on the rope or chain
diameter. Please see below illustration.
~
Contact Sony Customer Support to obtain the
optional Support Belt Kit by providing your TV
model name.
• For Mexico call: 01-800-759-7669
3 Anchor the TV to the Wall.
Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts,
wall anchor and chain (or rope).
~
• Your TV is shipped with screws attached
to the rear of the TV depending on the TV
model. (They are fastened in the screw
holes for wall mounting.) Be sure to
remove the upper two screws prior to
anchoring the TV to a wall.
• Securing the TV to the stand without
securing the TV and the stand to the wall
provides minimum protection against the
TV toppling over. For further protection,
be sure to follow the three measures
recommended.

you can enjoy multiple functions. For details
on the functions, refer to the i-Manual.
~
• You will need to contract with an Internet
service provider to connect to the Internet.
~
• For LAN connections, use a Category 7
cable (not supplied).
The built-in wireless LAN device allows you
to access the Internet and your home
network. With this feature, you can connect

6: Running initial
setup
1 Complete your cable connections before
proceeding with the Initial Setup.
Connect the TV to your nearest power
outlet.
2 Press "/1 on the TV. The illumination
LED will light up in white.
When you switch on the TV for the first
time, the Language menu appears on
the screen.
~
• When you turn on the TV for the first time,
the TV requires some internal processing
for optimization before you can perform
the initial setup. There will be no picture
and sound, and the illumination LED on
the front of the TV blinks white for about
40 seconds. Do not turn off the TV during
this process.
This process has been completed at the
factory for some TVs.

Using a Wall-Mount
Bracket
Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a
Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the
box as packaged. If the Table-Top Stand is
attached to the TV, the TV may require
detaching the Table-Top Stand; see
page 11 (Detaching the Table-Top Stand
from the TV).
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket
before making cable connections.
For product protection and safety
reasons, Sony strongly recommends that
you use the Wall-Mount Bracket designed
for your TV and the installation should be
performed by a Sony dealer or licensed
contractor.
• See page 36 (Compatible Wall-Mount
Bracket Information) (XBR-55X900A
only).
• Follow the instruction guide provided
with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your
model. Sufficient expertise is required in
installing this TV, especially to determine
the strength of the wall for withstanding
the TV’s weight.
• Be sure to use the screws supplied with
the Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching
the mounting hooks to the TV set.
The supplied screws are designed as
indicated by illustration 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.
• Be sure to store the unused screws and
Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you
are ready to attach the Table-Top Stand.
Keep the screws away from small
children.

Additional
Information
How to care for your BRAVIA TV
Safety is very important. Please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet)
separately provided.
Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the wall
outlet before you begin cleaning your TV.
• Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth.
• Do not handle the speakers with excessive force during
cleaning or maintenance to prevent any damages.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly
moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water.
• If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the
instruction provided on the package.
• Never spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It
may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts and
enter the TV set, and may cause damage to the TV set.
• Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or
benzine for cleaning.
• Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture
from cleaning has evaporated.
The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see
page 17). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is
securely fastened.
