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.
The length of the M4 machine screw differs
depending on the rope or chain diameter.
Please see below illustration.
