Preparing the TV for Wall-Mounting
This TV can be installed on a wall by using a Wall-Mount Bracket (sold separately). Before
mounting the TV on a wall, the Table-Top Stand must be removed from the TV.
Follow the simple steps below to remove the Table-Top Stand:
1 Disconnect all the cables from the TV.
2 Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the TV.
3 Adjust the angle of the Mounting Hook.
4 Start removing the screws behind the TV (See
illustration). Do not remove any other screws from
the TV.
5 When screws are removed, lift the TV off the stand.
Make sure that you carry out this task with at least
two people. Do not attempt to lift the TV by yourself.
Table-Top
Stand
For bracket installation, refer to the instruction guide provided by the Wall-Mount Bracket model
for your TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the
strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight. For product protection and safety
reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed
for your TV and that the wall-mounting of your TV is performed by Sony dealers or licensed
contractors.
SU-WL100: KDL-26L5000
SU-WL500: KDL-32L5000
Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the mounting
hooks to the TV set. The supplied screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length
when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length of the
screws differ depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model. Use of screws other than those
supplied may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

• Be sure to store the removed screws and Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you are ready to
reattach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children.
