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.
Except KDL-32FA600 model KDL-32FA600 model only
• Place your palm directly underneath but do not squeeze the panel’s speaker grill area.
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 15.
• 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.

Using a Wall-Mount Bracket
Your TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged. Some larger size TV may require removing the Table-Top Stand; refer to the instructions provided with the TV.
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections.
For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-
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. (Do not use the screws that are intended for the Table-Top Stand attachment.)
The supplied M6 screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook.
Use of screws other than those supplied with the bracket may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

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 regulated 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 31).
• 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

“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 35).
• Check the Auto Wide option in the Screen settings (see page 35).
• 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 27). 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 41). 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.

How to reset the TV to factory settings
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.
• 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 37).
• 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 38).
• Turn on the TV. While holding down V on the remote control, press
POWER 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.
