Welcome to the World of BRAVIA™
f
Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA™ 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 stunning 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™ player or other external equipment
Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.
To learn more about HDTV, visit: http://www.sony.com/HDTV
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 13). 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 standarddefinition TV.
16:9 (high-definition) source
Most HDTV signals use a widescreen aspect ratio o
16:9. 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen, maintaining 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 function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 23, 35
and 36).

sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 5
for stubborn stains and dirt.
Temporary Image Retention
When high contrast non-moving images such as
station logos and channel numbers are displayed
for a long period of time, there may be some image
retention on the screen. This is only a temporary
condition. Turning off the power for a while or
letting the TV run on another channel will
eliminate the image retention.
Projection Lamp
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source.
As with any lamp, it has a lifespan and needs to be
replaced when the Lamp Indicator flashes or the
screen becomes darker. Your TV also has a
function to display a message, “Projection lamp is
nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” to let
you know that the lamp has reached its expected
lifespan. Note the following:
s After turning on your TV, it may take a while
(one minute or less) before the picture
)
appears.
s When the projection lamp wears out, the
screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a
new Sony XL-2500 replacement lamp (not
supplied).
s After lamp is replaced, please set the Lamp
Replacement option in the General
settings (see page 42).
“How to Replace the Lamp”, see page 43.
~
• The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when
your TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury,
do not look into the light housing when the power is
on.
