Welcome to the World of BRAVIA®
Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA® high-definition television. The quality of the image you
see on your BRAVIA TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience the
stunning detail of your new BRAVIA TV, you need access to HD programming. Your BRAVIA TV
can receive and display HD programming from:
•
•
•
•
Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna
HD cable subscription
HD satellite subscription
Blu-ray Disc™ player or other HD compatible external equipment
Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.

U.S.A. http://www.sony.com/HDTV
Canada http://www.sonystyle.ca/hd
The Four Steps to a Full HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source, and Setup
Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a
source of HD programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup
connections (see page 12). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to
connect other optional equipment.
Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio
You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD
signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice
a big difference.
High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the
width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standarddefinition TV.
16:9 (high-definition) source
Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio
of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen,
maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
4:3 (standard-definition) source
Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3
aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an
HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The
picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD
sources.
~
• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 22, 45
and 46).

When Installing the TV Against a Wall
or Enclosed Area
• For product protection and safety reasons,
Sony strongly recommends that you use the
Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your
TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should
be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed
contractor.
Make sure that your TV has adequate air
circulation. Allow enough space around the TV as
shown below. Avoid operating the TV at
temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C).
• For bracket installation, refer to the supplied
“Installing the Wall-Mount Bracket” and 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.
4 inches
(10 cm)
• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the WallMount 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.

• Inadequate air circulation can lead to overheating of
the TV and may cause damage to your TV or cause a
fire.
Consider the following for best picture
quality
• Do not expose the screen to direct illumination
or sunlight.
• Use spot lighting directed down from the
ceiling or cover the windows that face the
screen with opaque drapery.
• Install the TV in a room where the floor and
walls are not of a reflective material.
• When moving the TV from a cold area to a
warm area, a sudden room temperature change
may cause the TV’s picture to blur or show
poor color due to moisture condensation.
Should this occur, please wait a few hours to
allow the moisture to evaporate before
powering on the TV.

• furniture that can easily be used as steps,
such as a chest of drawers.
s Install the TV where it cannot be pulled,
pushed, or knocked over.
s Route all AC power cords and connecting
cables so that they are not accessible to
curious children.
Use a Sony TV Stand

(supplied) to display the best possible picture for that signal.
• Content and signal quality are regulated by the signal provider. Many HD
channels and content are actually upscaled versions of standard-definition
broadcasts. The picture is affected by the quality of the signal received, which
varies between channel and program.
• Confirm the picture quality by selecting Signal Diagnostics in the Product
Support settings (page 41). Then select Sample Image (or Additional
Information first). An HD image will display on the screen to confirm routine
panel operation. If your normal picture quality is worse than this sample image,
it is most likely due to the signal provided by the broadcaster.
• Check cable/antenna connections.
• Check the antenna location and direction.
• Set the Motion Enhancer to Standard or Off (see page 43).
Only snow and noise appear
