damage and/or injuries.

Installation

• The TV set should be installed near an

easily accessible mains socket.

• Place the TV set on a stable, level

surface.

• Only qualified service personnel should

carry out wall installations.

• For safety reasons, it is strongly

recommended that you use Sony

accessories, including:
– Wall-mount bracket SU-WL500

• 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 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.

all cables.

people are needed

to transport a large

TV set.
