Register online at: http://www.sony.com/registration (from U.S.A.) http://www.sonystyle.ca/registration (from Canada)

Make sure you’ve removed all accessory contents from packaging.

Install 2 AA batteries (supplied separately) in your remote control.

Determine whether you will mount your TV on a wall or place it on a floor stand. Sony wall-mounting brackets are designed to provide the best fit.

Give your TV 2 3 /

8

inches (6 cm) of space behind it to properly ventilate.

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 content, and proper setup connection with components such as your HD cable or satellite box.

You must get HD programming to experience the stunning detail of HDTV.

The quality of the image you see on your BRAVIA can only be as high as the quality of the signal it is displaying. This chart shows the different signal types and how to access them.

What is HDMI™?

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are the standard for connecting HDTV.

They are built to properly handle high bandwidth, uncompressed video and multi-channel audio—all in one cable.

May require DVI-to-HDMI adapter and separate audio connector.

Connect PC’s audio output when using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) or HD15 connection.

Press PC’s FUNCTION Key + Select Output to transmit to TV.

When using an HD15 connection, adjust TV’s Pitch and Phase to correct sharpness.

Refer to your BRAVIA Operating Instructions Manual for more information.

Operating Instructions Manual for details.

Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio

High-Definition and Standard-Definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios

(the width-to-height shape of the image). Most HD signals use a widescreen aspect ratio of

16:9. Most SD signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio looks perfect on your

BRAVIA, but a 4:3 image may need to be adjusted to better fill the wide screen of your

BRAVIA.

■

■

■

Adjust your TV so boxy 4:3 images are automatically re-configured (zoomed or stretched) to fit the wide TV screen; OR

Watch SD content in its original, boxy format with wide black bars surrounding the image to fill in unused space (for example, you may prefer to watch an old classic movie in its original 4:3 format, not reconfigured for a wide screen).

Press WIDE on your remote control. Your TV will display available wide modes for the current signal. Select the Wide Mode setting of your preference.

Notes on Connection:

■

■

Your TV is equipped with four HDMI inputs and two component inputs. Connect your incoming signal source (HD Cable Box, HD Satellite Receiver, or DVD) with

HDMI or component video for the best possible picture quality.

If your connecting equipment has DVI output instead of the HDMI output, you must use a DVI-to-HDMI cable for the video and also connect an audio cable for the sound. If this is the case, connect the cable to HDMI IN 4 (input) of your TV.

When using a DVI-to-HDMI cable, make sure to connect the DVI side first.

P&P/PIP functions require Cable/Antenna connection.

When receiving a High-Definition signal by an over-the-air antenna, it is best to use an HD antenna.
