Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA
TM 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
TM player or other external equipment
Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.

The Four Steps to 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 13). 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. The 1080 HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the standard TV signal.
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 widescreen aspect ratio of
16:9. 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 23, 35 and 36).
TV Home Menu: XMBTM(XrossMediaBar)
The XMBTM is a menu of BRAVIA features and input sources displayed on the TV screen. The
XMBTM iS an easy way to select programming and adjust settings on your BRAVIA TV. Press the
HOME button on your remote control to access the XMBTM.
Media
Category
Bar
Category Object Bar
From the horizontal Media Category Bar you can control:
• Settings:
timer, picture, sound, screen and other options (see page 32 for customization options).
• TV Channels: available channels are displayed on the vertical Category Object Bar.
• External Inputs: cable, satellite, VCR, DVD players or other inputs can also be selected from the Category Object Bar for the External Inputs.
1. Installing
the TV
Carrying tile TV requires at least two people.
Do not hold by the pedestal or the front panel of the
TV. Doing so may cause these parts to break off.
Keep your TV at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall to provide proper ventilation. Blocking the ventilation opening of the cooling fan may damage the TV.
12 inches
! (approx.
30 cm)
4 inches
Do not grasp the pedestal or the front panel of the TV.
When moving the TV, place one hand in the hole on the lower portion of the TV while grasping the top with the other hand, as shown in the illustration below.
Never install the TV as follows:
Air blown into cooling fan.
Air circulation is blocked.
ttt
• Do not install the TV near any ventilation, as it may affect the normal TV operating temperature.
If you have connected cables and cords, be sure to unplug them before moving the TV.
To ensure the safety of children and the TV. keep children away fi'om the TV during installation.
Climbing on or pushing the TV or its stand may cause it to fall and may damage the TV.
As a protective measure, secure the TV as follows.
Using the TV stand with a support metal safety hook
Sony strongly recommends using the TV stand
SU-RGI3M with a support metal safety hook designed for your TV.
• When using the SU-RG 13M stand t\_r your TV, you must use the support metal safety hook.

Horizontal Viewing Area
To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating.
Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface.
Special care is required.
Cleaning the Screen Surface
Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture quality.
To dust off the screen use a soft cloth. Be sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 5 for stubborn stains and dirt.
Temporary Image Retention
When high contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image retention on the screen.
This is only a temporary condition.
Turning off the power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the image retention.
t_
Vertical Viewing Area
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source.
As with any lamp, it has a lifespan and needs to be replaced when the Lamp Indicator flashes or the screen becomes darker.
Your TV also has a function to display a message, "Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp." to let you know that the lamp has reached its expected lifespan.
Note the following:
[] After turning on your TV. it may take a while
(one minute or less) before the picture appears.
[] When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a new Sony XL-2500 replacement lamp (not supplied).
[] After lamp is replaced, please set the Lamp
