Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIATM 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 full 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 14). 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 standard- definition 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 and maintains a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
4:3 (standard-definition) source Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3
