Extend power cable on Bravia KDL-37W5500U

I have a Bravia KDL-37W5500U that I am planning to wall mount soon. It seems like the power cable is hard-wired and it's quite short. Is it possible to change/extend the power cable without impacting my warrenty?

Hi Aaron

What you need to do is get a right angled connector like this a length of wire and wire to a mains plug.

Make sure you know what your doing before attempting this.

Thanks

Hello Aaron,

I think the answers you have recieved are ideal if the mains lead was not hard wired on these sets.

However in your case from your information the lead is hardwired on the KDL-37W5500, therefore you cannot do this.

If you do any modification to the TV set then as you say the guarantee will be invalid.

I do not know if there is a service which will be able to extend this power cord, but in my experience I think it will be difficult to change.

Hi Aaron ,

welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

Firstly do you have a cable that simply unplugs from the back of the TV (normally if you do the cable is supplied loose with the TV..

If you can then it would depend on how long a cable you require but it's probably easier to purchase a longer IEC type power cable from somewhere like maplins..:smileywink:

However it does state in the manual "Use only mains leads supplied by Sony, not other suppliers."
