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. Visit www.learningcenter.sony.us/HomeAudioandVideo/Televisions/Research1/TheBasicsofDTV for more information.

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. Refer to your BRAVIA™ Operating Instruction Manual for more information.

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.
