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.

Prevent the TV from Toppling Over

sSecure the TV to a wall and/or stand.

sDo not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets.

sAvoid placing or hanging items on the TV.

sNever install the TV on:

slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.

furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

sInstall the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed, or knocked over.

sRoute 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.
