Welcome to the World of BRAVIA®

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 an 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 about upgrading to HD programming.

To learn more about HDTV, visit: U.S.A. http://www.sony.com/HDTV Canada http://www.SonyStyle.ca/hd

The Four Steps to a Stunning 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 16). 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 1080i HD signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference. The 1080i 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 standard-definition TV.

16:9 (high-definition) source

Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio of 16:9. The 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 25

and 33).

• This TV supports signals up to 1080i.

Securing the TV

Sony strongly recommends taking measures to prevent the TV from tipping over. Unsecured TVs may topple and result in property damage, serious bodily injury or even death.

Prevent the TV from tipping over

s Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand. s Do not allow children to play or climb on

furniture and TV sets.

s Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV. s 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.

s Install the TV where it cannot be pulled,

pushed, or knocked over.

s Route all AC power cords and connecting

cables so that they are not accessible to children.

Use a Sony TV Stand

Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) and follow the instruction manual provided with the Sony TV stand.

If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider the following recommended measures.

Getting Started

(Continued)

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

Secure 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 brace

Stand

Secure the TV to the stand

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

•M6 × 10-12 mm anchor bolt (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.

• 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

Attach the TV to the wall

Use the hardware listed below (not supplied):

•Two M6 × 12-18 mm anchor bolts (screw

into the top-most wall-mount holes located on the rear of the TV).

• Rope or chain (attach to one M6 anchor bolt).

• Wall-anchor (attach to the wall stud) strong enough to support the weight of the TV (pass the rope through the wall-anchor, then attach to the other M6 anchor bolt).

• Attaching the TV to the stand without properly securing the TV or the stand to the wall will not ensure that the TV will stay in place. For further protection, follow all three measures recommended above.

Bundling the Connecting Cables Preparation for Wall-Mounting

You can bundle the connecting cables as illustrated below.

1 Get the cable holder from the accessories

bag and place the screw (supplied) in the cable holder without exerting pressure.

Install the cable holder on the Table-Top Stand by exerting pressure on the screw and turning it to the left.

3 Secure the connection cables as illustrated

below.

This TV can be installed on a wall by using a Wall-Mount Bracket (sold separately). Before mounting the TV on a wall, the Table-Top Stand must be removed from the TV.

• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason

other than to wall-mount the TV.

• For product protection and safety reasons,

Sony strongly recommends you use the WallMount Bracket model designed for your TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

Use your TV with the following wall-mount bracket only.

Sony TV Model No.

KDL-32L4010

Sony Wall-Mount Bracket Model No.

SU-WL500

• For bracket installation, refer to the instructions on

page 10 and the instruction guide provided by the Wall-Mount Bracket model for your TV. Sufficient expertise is required to install this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall that will withstand the TV’s weight.

• Be sure to store the removed screws and Table-Top

Stand in a safe place until you are ready to reattach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from

children.

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-

Mount Bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. Supplied screws are designed so they are between 8 to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length of the screws differ depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model. Use of screws other than those supplied may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall.

Installing the Wall-Mount Bracket

To Customers
