Getting Started

Setting Up Your TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the attachment instructions provided with the TV.

Be sure to consider the following while setting up your 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.

KDL-22BX321/KDL-22BX320

???Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 14.

???For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

???Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.

???Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.
