On Installation
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
•Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
Handling the LCD Screen

•Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.

•The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.
Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least
99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be stuck, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck”
pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
About the Fluorescent Tube
A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult your Sony dealer.
On Cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce reflection of light. As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
•Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
•Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.
•Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
•Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth.
•Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
•If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet may be scratched.
•If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
