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 16). 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

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 flmction of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 24, 32

and 34).
