Welcome to the World of B R AV I A TM

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color TV. This manual is for models KDL-52XBR2 and KDL-52XBR3. The packing box contains

accessories that are listed on page 52.

Connecting the TV

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect

ratio (see "Changing the Wide Screen Mode" on page 24). It is strongly recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm

twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far

away from the TV as possible. You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page

16). For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the separate Quick

Setup Guide.
