Need to know how to attach the stand, I have the parts that came with the TV but no instructions.

Good luck with that. As soon as these sets go out of production, so do most of the parts associated with them. You would be better served to get a TV table stand that uses a wall-mount-style backer. That way you get the tabletop mount and the extra security of knowing it won't get knocked over easily. Something like this....

The stand should have a flat base with a cylinder that should attach to it, the cylinder should have a flat panel on the top of it that will slide into place on the bottom of the TV, from there you need to screw it in. If you need more help send me the pictures of the parts and I can help you out, I've setup many TV's with no instructions at my job.

If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here. Pull up older posts.

Is this the same manual?

To Display your LCD TV using a Wall Bracket:

If you decide to wall mount your LCD TV, always use a ULlisted wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight of the LCD TV: 32HL37/32HL37U/32HL17/32HL17U: 38.6 lbs (17.5 kg)

37HL17: 46.3 lbs (21.0 kg)

42HL17: 59.5 lbs (27.0 kg)
1) CAUTION: Two people are required for installation.

2) Unplug and remove any cables and/or other component connectors from the rear of the TV.

3) Follow the instructions provided with your wall bracket. Before proceeding, make sure the appropriate bracket(s) are attached to the wall and the back of the TV as described in the instructions provided with the wall bracket.

4) After attaching the appropriate bracket(s) to the wall and the back of the TV, remove the pedestal stand from the TV as described below.


Removing the Pedestal Stand

1) Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat, cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave the stand protruding over the edge of the surface. Note: Extreme care should always be used when removing the pedestal stand to avoid damage to the LCD panel.

2) Remove the jack pack cover on the back of the TV to expose the pedestal stand screws. The jack pack cover can be removed without tools.

3) Remove the five screws. This will allow removal of the pedestal stand.

4) Once you have removed all five screws holding the pedestal stand in place, remove the pedestal stand from the TV by sliding the pedestal stand away from the TV.

Yes, Sony Parts has them available:

The stand is $107.59, and requires four screws to attach to the TV. They're $2.25. (quite the bargain!)

The model number of the stand is X21033652.

Please rate my answer if it solved your problem.

If you pay for shipping I will send you my screws. Maybe a buck or two will cover it in an envelope. I just removed them last night as the TV is being junked for the parts. Email me.

there are two types of stands, some are wall type which needs to be mounted using rawl bolts, nuts are suppose to hold a stand, some are ground stands which are suppose to be put on a flat surface in order to balance.

The TV is not the problem, if you have the parts to attach to the TV, and the screws that come with it, there is only one position that fits the support base on the TV, but the other part, I mean, the way that the support base is attached to the wall, I strongly recommend to find a Handy man who can do that job because must be a solid and deep surface in order to avoid the TV drop itself in any moment.
