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.

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 21, 44

Your BRAVIA TV is ENERGY STAR qualified.
It meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of
Energy. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of these government agencies, designed to promote energy efficient products and practices.
• When the TV is initially set up, it is designed to meet ENERGY STAR requirements.
• Changes to certain features, settings, and functionalities of this TV (i.e. TV guide, Picture/
Sound, Light Sensor, Power Savings) can slightly change the power consumption.
Depending upon such changed settings, the power consumption may increase which possibly could exceed the limits required for the ENERGY STAR qualification.

Getting Started
1. Installing the TV
This TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-
Mount Bracket or placed on a TV stand (each sold separately). This section will explain:
• How to carry the TV
• Preparation for a Table-Top stand
• Preparation for a Wall-Mount Bracket
• Installation against a wall or enclosed area
• Bundling the connecting cables
• Securing the TV
Carrying the TV
Be sure to follow these guidelines to protect your property and avoid causing serious injury.
• Before carrying the TV, disconnect all cables.
• Carrying the large size TV requires two or more people.
• When carrying the TV, place your hand as illustrated and hold it securely. Do not subject the
TV to shocks, vibration, or excessive force.
Preparation for Wall-Mount Bracket
• 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.
• 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 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.
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.
8-12 mm
• Lift the TV by placing your palm directly underneath the panel but do not put stress on the
LCD panel.
~
• Be sure to hold the bottom of the panel, and not the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill area. Do not compress the panel's speaker grill area.
• Do not lift the TV from the bottom center.

• 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.

Bundling the Connecting Cables
You can bundle the connecting cables as illustrated below.
~
AC IN
• Do not bundle the AC power cord with other connecting cables.
Securing the TV
Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from toppling over. Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death.
Prevent the TV from Toppling Over s Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand.
s Do not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets.
s Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.
s Never install the TV on:
• slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.
• 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
Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) and
follow the instruction manual provided with the
Sony TV stand.
If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider the following recommended measures.
Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

Mode to Wide Zoom , H Stretch 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.

Condition
Some digital cable channels are not being displayed
Explanation/Solution
• 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
Some photo files or music files are not displayed from my USB equipment or DLNA

Lost password
• The accessible file or folder limit in a directory is 1,000 for USB and 30,000 for a DLNA Certified media server. This limit includes non-JPEG, MP3 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 47).
How to reset the TV to factory settings
• 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 .
WARNING: The reset will clear all of your customized settings including the
Parental Lock setting.
The speaker grill is loose • Orient the speaker grill so that the location of the marks on the speaker grill and
TV match, insert the protrusions on the speaker grill into the holes on the TV, and support gently. Check that the speaker grill and TV are in contact without any gaps, and then secure it by pushing and sliding the speaker grill left into place.

TV screen feels warm
~
• Do not touch the speakers and their surrounding areas. Do not move the TV while the speaker grill is detached.
• 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.
