What is HDMI™?
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are the standard for connecting HDTV. They are built to properly handle high bandwidth, uncompressed video and multi-channel
audio—all in one cable.
Connecting a PC to Your BRAVIA™
May require DVI-to-HDMI adapter and separate audio connector.
Connect PC’s audio output when using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) connection.
Refer to BRAVIA™ Operating Instruction Manual for more information.

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 content, and proper setup connection with components such as your HD cable
or satellite box.
You must get HD programming to experience the stunning detail of HDTV.
The quality of the image you see on your BRAVIA™ can only be as high as the quality of the
signal it is displaying. This chart shows the different signal types and how to access them.

Running Initial Setup
Select Your Content Source
Whether you are watching cable, satellite or broadcast TV; playing a VCR, DVD or Blu-ray
Disc™; or connecting to your PC, you need to choose the correct Input using your remote
control:
Press the HOME button on your remote control to display on-screen the TV mode or
External Inputs selection menu; OR
Press the INPUT button repeatedly until your selection is highlighted on-screen.
Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio
High Definition and Standard Definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios
(the width-to-height shape of the image). Most HD signals use a widescreen aspect ratio of
16:9. Most SD signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio looks perfect on your
BRAVIA™, but a 4:3 image must be adjusted to look right. You can:
Adjust your TV so boxy 4:3 images are automatically re-configured (zoomed or
stretched) to fit the wide TV screen; OR
Watch SD content in its original, boxy format with wide black bars surrounding the
image to fill in unused space (for example, you may prefer to watch an old classic movie
in its original 4:3 format, not reconfigured for a wide screen).
Press the WIDE button on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting of
your preference.

Customize Sound and Picture Quality
You can choose optimum sound and picture settings to match the content you are displaying
on your TV:
Press the HOME button on your remote control and select Picture or Sound. Choose
the appropriate setting for your content.
Use the remote control OPTIONS button to quickly adjust sound and picture quality.

Required Cable Types for Connection Notes on Connection:
Your TV is equipped with two HDMI inputs, connect your incoming signal source (HD Cable Box, HD Satellite Receiver, or DVD) with an HDMI or component video for the best
possible picture quality.
If your connecting equipment has DVI output instead of the HDMI output, you must use DVI-to-HDMI cable for the video and also connect an audio cable for the sound. If this is
the case, connect the cable to HDMI IN 2 (input) of your TV.
When receiving High Definition content signal by over-the-air antenna, it is best to use the HD antenna.
When using a DVI-to-HDMI cable, make sure to connect the DVI side first.
