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.
• 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.

Mount Bracket designed for your TV and the installation should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.
• Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.
• 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 as indicated by illustration 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.

Condition
Poor picture
Picture quality not as good as viewed at the store
Broadcast HD formats have poor quality
Double images or ghosts
Only snow and noise appear on the screen
Dotted lines or stripes
Explanation/Solution
• Picture quality depends on the signal content. See Quick Setup Guide
(supplied) to display the best possible picture for that signal.
• Content and signal quality are controls by the signal provider. Many HD channels and content are actually upscaled versions of standarddefinition broadcasts. The picture is affected by the quality of the signal received, which varies between channel and program.
• Check cable/antenna connections.
• Check the antenna location and direction.
• Check if the antenna is broken or bent.
• Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable life. (3-5 years in normal use, 1-2 years at the seaside.)
• Keep the TV away from noise sources such as cars, motorcycles, or hairdryers.
• If using 300 ohm twin lead, move the excess lead away from the TV or try using 75-ohm coaxial cable instead.
• Adjust the Picture Mode options in the Picture settings (see page 29).
• If you set the Power Saving mode to Low or High, it will enhance the black level.
No color / Dark picture /
Color is not correct / The picture is too bright
Noisy picture • Make sure that the antenna is connected using a 75-ohm coaxial cable
(not supplied).
• Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords.
• To avoid TV interference, make sure to use an undamaged antenna cable.
Blurry picture / Poor color • Transporting the TV from a cold to a warm location or a sudden change in room temperature may cause moisture condensation, resulting in a blurry picture or poor color. Turn off your TV and wait a few hours before powering on again.
No sound / Noisy sound
No sound but good picture • Check the volume control.
• Press MUTING or VOL + so that “Muting” disappears from the screen (see
• Set Speakers to TV Speakers in the Sound settings (see page 32). If
it is set to Audio System, sound is not output from the TV’s speakers regardless of the TV’s volume control.
• When using HDMI input with Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio,
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) may not provide an audio signal.
• When tuned to a digital channel with Alternate Audio, the broadcaster may not be broadcasting your preferred Alternate Audio language.
Press OPTIONS, highlight and select Alternate Audio, and change the
Alternate Audio language (see page 32).

Condition
BRAVIA Sync
Cannot find connected
BRAVIA Sync HDMI device
Second A/V receiver is not listed on the Device List
PC Input
No picture / No signal
Poor Picture
Explanation/Solution
• Make sure that the Control for HDMI is set up on both the TV and the
optional device compatible with BRAVIA Sync (see page 23).
• Only one A/V receiver may be used with the BRAVIA Sync and
Control for HDMI functions at one time (see page 41).
• Confirm the PC is correctly connected to the TV with either the PC IN
(with an HD15 cable) or with the HDMI IN.
• Ensure the output signal from the PC is one of the formats listed on page
• Turn the PC off. Confirm the PC connection and restart the PC. Plug-andplay will auto-detect the TV and correctly set up PC timing.
• Verify the PC is not in standby or hibernation mode.
• Adjust the resolution (see page 44).
• Adjust Pitch and Phase.
General
TV screen feels warm
Wide Mode changes automatically
Suddenly the picture gets smaller
“Black box” on screen
• Due to the thin profile of this television, the heat generated by the LCD panel backlight and supporting electronics will be more noticeable. This is normal operation and not a cause for concern.
• The current Wide Mode setting is automatically replaced with the 4:3
Default setting when you change the channel or video input, if 4:3
Default in the Screen settings is set to other than Off. If you want to lock in Wide Mode selected with WIDE on the remote control, set 4:3
Default to Off in the Screen settings (see page 33).
• Check the Auto Wide option in the Screen settings (see page 33).
• The picture gets smaller during the commercials due to the method in which the provider broadcasts their content. When HD content channels switch to SD content (commercials), the picture may be small with a black border.
• Auto Wide will not expand the picture during these content changes since the content information is regulated by the channel signal provider.
You can manually change the Wide Mode if you prefer (see page 25).
This setting will remain in effect until you change the channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again.
• You have selected a text option and no text is available (see page 39). To
turn off this feature, set the CC Display option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4.
(Continued)
53
Condition
Black bands appear at the edges of the screen
Explanation/Solution
• Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9 (this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your
DVD/Blu-ray (or contact your program provider).
• Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the screen.
• Programs broadcast in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content will commonly have black bands on the left and right sides of the screen which are added by the broadcaster (see image on left).
• Auto Wide will not expand the picture when the black bands on the sides of the screen are added by the broadcaster. You can manually change the Wide Mode to Wide Zoom, or Zoom to fill the screen, which will remain in affect until you change the channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again.
• This is due to the digital compression of the source content used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs which may cause your TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. These signal compressions are more visible and are dependent on the clarity and resolution of the TV.
Certain programs on DVD or other digital sources display a loss of detail, especially during fastmotion or dark scenes
Remote control does not operate
Some digital cable channels are not being displayed
Some photo, music, or video files are not displaying from my USB equipment
Photo images appear small in the screen
Photo images or folders take time to display

How to reset the TV to factory settings
• To determine if the problem is with the remote control or not, press a button on the TV.
• Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.
• Point the remote control at the remote control sensor located at the front of the TV.
• Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.
• Certain cable companies have limitations on the broadcast of digital cable channels. Check with your cable company for more information.
• The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Show/Hide
Channels setting (see page 35).
• The accessible file or folder limit in a directory is 1,000 for USB connected equipment. This limit includes non-supported files or just folders. Files or folders are populated based on their time stamps. Photo, music files or folders exceeding the limit will not be displayed.
• Set display size to expanded.
• Whether or not photo images can or cannot be displayed in full-screen depends on the resolution or aspect ratio of the file.
• Depending on the image dimension, file size, and number of files in a folder, some photo images or folders take time to display.
• The first time a camera is connected to the TV via USB cable, it may take up to a couple of minutes for the photos to display.
• Select the Password settings on the Parental Lock settings, then enter the following master password: 4357. This password clears your previous
password and allows you to enter a new password (see page 36).
• Turn on the TV. While holding down V on the remote control, press 1 on the TV. (The TV will turn itself off, then back on again.) Release V.
IMPORTANT: The reset will clear all of your customized settings including the Parental Lock setting.
