The Four Steps to a Stunning HD Experience
Set, Source, Sound, and Setup
Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires a source of HD programming, an HD sound system, and a proper connection setup. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, for connecting optional equipment.
You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement, and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD signals as shown here.
When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference in picture quality. If black bars appear as shown here, press WIDE on the remote control to fill the screen.
TV Feature Highlights
Your BRAVIA comes with many convenient features, such as:
BRAVIA® SyncTM: Allows your BRAVIA TV to communicate with other Sony equipment supporting the Control for HDMI function (page 25).
Digital Media Accessibility: Use the Photo, Music, and Video icons to access photo, music, and video files from Sony USB equipment (page 29).
PIP (Picture in Picture): You can work on your PC and watch your favorite TV program simultaneously (page 26).
Favorites: Your favorite channels and inputs are at your finger tips for easy access (page 27).
Auto Wide Mode: Set your TV to automatically adjust the screen based on the signal resolution (page 27).
Input Selection: Allows you to easily switch between the connected equipment (page 28).
Motionflow: Enhance the smooth picture movements to reduce the blur (page 31). (This feature is available for models: EX500 and EX501.)
Scene Select: Allows you to easily adjust your TV to the most suitable picture and sound settings based on the scenes for the best quality result for the contents genre you are watching (page 21).
®BRAVIA New Your Introducing
(Continued) 5
Ambient Sensor: Automatically optimizes the picture settings according to the ambient light in the room. The sensor detects ambient light levels to adjust the brightness and color temperature of the picture. With this feature you can have the best picture quality under your room’s lighting conditions (page 32).

Getting Started
Setting Up Your TV
Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the attachment instructions provided with the TV.
Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:
• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.
•Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
•Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.
Except KDL-32FA600 model |
KDL-32FA600 model only |
• Place your palm directly underneath but do not squeeze the panel’s speaker grill area.
•Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 15.
•For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
•Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.
•Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.

Securing the TV
Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from toppling over. Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death.
Preventing the TV from Toppling
Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand.
Do not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets.
Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV.
Never install the TV on:
•slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.
•furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed, or knocked over.
Route all AC power cords and connecting cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.
Recommended Measures to Secure the TV
Consider the following measures when securing your TV to a TV stand (not supplied).
1Secure the stand for the TV.
Make sure the TV stand can adequately support the weight of the TV. Use two angle braces (not supplied) to secure the stand.
For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware to:
•attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.
•attach the other side to the TV stand.

•A screw or similar (attach it to the TV stand).
•Rope or chain (strong enough to support the weight of the TV). Make sure that there is no excess slack in the rope or chain.
