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 23).

Digital Media Accessibility: Use the Photo, Music, and Video icons to access photo, music, and video files from Sony USB equipment (page 27).

PIP (Picture in Picture): You can work on your PC and watch your favorite TV program simultaneously (page 24).

Favorites: Your favorite channels and inputs are at your finger tips for easy access (page 25).

Auto Wide Mode: Set your TV to automatically adjust the screen based on the signal resolution (page 25).

Input Selection: Allows you to easily switch between the connected equipment (page 26).

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 20).

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.

KDL-22BX321/KDL-22BX320

Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 14.

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.

Angle braces

2Secure the TV to the stand.

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

M4 × 16 mm machine screw (screwed into the TV’s Table-Top 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.

An alternative way to secure the TV is with an optional Sony Support Belt Kit.

M4 × 16 mm machine screw (not supplied)

Screw hole on the Table-Top Stand

Rope of chain (not supplied)

Screw

(not supplied)

3Anchor the TV to the wall.

Anchor the TV to the wall by using bolts, wall anchor and chain (or rope).

Anchor bolts (not supplied)

Wall-anchor (not supplied)

Wall-mount holes

Rope or chain (not supplied)

Contact Sony Customer Support to obtain the optional Support Belt Kit by providing your TV model name.

For United States call: 1-800-488-7669 or visit: www.sony.com/accessories For Canada call: 1-877-899-7669

Securing the TV to the stand without securing the TV and the stand to the wall provides minimum protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, be sure to follow the three measures recommended.
