IMPORTANT INFORMATION If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as: • Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television. • Only using furniture that can safely support the television. • Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture. • Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support. • Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture. • Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls. Notes for Australia and New Zealand model This product is ENERGY RATING qualified in the “Home” mode. ENERGY RATING is a programme designed to promote energy efficient products and practices. • When the TV is initially set up, it is designed to meet ENERGY RATING requirements while maintaining optimum picture quality. • Changes to certain features, settings and functionalities of this TV (e.g. TV Guide, Picture/Sound, Eco setting) can slightly change the power consumption. Depending upon such changed settings (e.g. “Shop” mode), the power consumption may vary which possibly could exceed the stated energy rating. To reset the TV to ENERGY RATING qualified settings, select “Home” mode from the initial set- up procedure in “Factory Settings” under the “Set-up” menu.

Our groundbreaking TVs allow you to do more than ever, and the best way to enjoy it all is with amazing picture quality. Sony combines innovative technologies to create our best picture ever for sports, movies, cable TV and Internet video. Best Picture Quality Defined Clear motion and panning True black level control that reveals detail in the shadows Bright whites that don’t blow out or flare around the edges Vibrant lifelike colors Realistic skin tones Crisp, distraction-free clarity Optimized for home viewing. Many TVs are shown with maximum brightness in stores. Sony HDTVs come optimized for in-home viewing. 4K Ultra HD1 Welcome to four times the clarity of regular HD. See more on TV than ever before with over 8 million pixels compared to about 2 million on HDTV.1 4K X-Reality™ PRO Picture Engine All of the TV programs and movies you already watch are enhanced by the 4K X-Reality™ PRO Picture Engine for 4K Ultra HD viewing 6 . X-Reality™ PRO Picture Engine This picture engine takes everything you watch—HD movies, sports, even YouTube™ clips and home movies—and optimizes it with unprecedented detail and astonishing color. TRILUMINOUS Display Unique to Sony, the TRILUMINOS Display has a wider range of color than conventional LCD displays, allowing you to see colors never before seen on TVs. Hard-to-reproduce reds, emerald greens and aqua blues are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid, richer and intense. Faces look better, too, with natural skin tones. Clear Resolution Enhancer Fine details and textures appear in whatever you’re watching. Dynamic Edge LED Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright scenes to perfect a natural look. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right areas for a more realistic picture. Edge LED Powerful yet thin LEDs deliver a radically brighter picture than conventional LCD backlighting. Motionflow™ XR Sports can be seen as clear as they would appear from the sidelines. Motionflow™ XR takes motion clarity beyond refresh rates (measured in Hz) to double or quadruple the motion effect. The result is a clear picture during slow panning motions or the fastest action. TV SideView™ Compatible Control the TV or browse the channel guide with your smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS), all without interfering with what you're watching on the TV. Learn more about the show you’re watching right now and search what’s available to watch on TV, the internet and apps like Netflix.® Wi-Fi®2 Built-in (Netflix,® Pandora,® YouTube,® HuluPlus™ & more Go way beyond cable with access to Full HD 1080p entertainment, 3D content4 and made-for-TV apps like Netflix,® Pandora,® YouTube,™ Facebook® and more.2 Screen Mirroring (MHL,7 Miracast,™8 NFC3) Sony is helping you add value to the entertainment you already own. Using a Mobile High Definition Link (MHL),3 Miracast™8 or Near Field Communication,3 you’ll instantly be able to view exactly what’s on your smartphone’s screen on the TV. Movies, music and apps are automatically scaled to fit the larger TV screen. Magnetic Fluid Speaker Your TV’s loudspeakers have evolved. Unique to Sony, Magnetic Fluid Speaker technology allows a thinner, more efficient loudspeaker that produces a faithful reproduction of high-fidelity sound with 65 watts of total power.5 Speaker Cabinets As TVs get smaller, the challenge of producing robust sound increases. Sony Bass Reflex and Long Duct speaker cabinets are capable of delivering extended low bass frequencies and clear, sparkling high frequencies for full-range sound. The longer the speaker cabinet, the fuller and richer the sound can be. Quartz–Cut Design Inspired by the sharp edges and color found in quartz crystals, the Quartz-cut design brings a new edge to TV with a hint of translucent color that emphasizes the hidden gem within. Brilliant color, sharp detail and an overall sense of beauty can be found in the thin border that traces the edge of the TV screen.

Chassis: RB1FK, BL 3 Chassis: RB1FK, BL USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE LCD PANEL When repairing the LCD panel, be sure you are grounded by using a wrist band. When installing the LCD panel on a wall, the LCD panel must be secured using the 4 mounting holes on the rear cover. To avoid damaging the LCD panel: 1. Do not press on the panel or frame edge to avoid the risk of electric shock. 2. Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects. 3. Do not leave the module in high temperatures or in areas of high humidity for an extended period of time. 4. Do not expose the LCD panel to direct sunlight. 5. Avoid contact with water. It may cause a short circuit within the module. 6. Disconnect the AC power when replacing the backlight (CCFL) or inverter circuit. (High voltage occurs at the inverter circuit at 650Vrms.) 7. Always clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth material. 8. Use care when handling the wires or connectors of the inverter circuit. Damaging the wires may cause a short. 9. Protect the panel from ESD to avoid damaging the electronic circuit (C-MOS). 10. During the repair, DO NOT leave the Power On for more than 1 hour while the TV is face down on a cloth. CLEANING THE LCD PANEL CAUTION: When cleaning the TV, be sure to unplug the power cord to avoid any chance of electric shock. Clean the cabinet of the TV with a dry soft cloth. Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth.  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 use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning.  Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation openings is recommended to ensure proper ventilation.  Do Not use paper towels, any type of abrasive pad, rags, rubber or vinyl materials to clean the screen. Using these materials could easily scratch the screen which may result in permanent damage.  Do Not use any cleaning product containing alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, ammonia, benzine, thinner or insecticide. Using any of these harsh cleaners may result in permanent damage to the screen.  Do Not spray water or detergent directly onto the TV screen . If liquid drips into the bottom of the screen it may cause a failure. SETTING UP AND CARRYING THE 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.
