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.

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.
4
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.

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).

Bundling the Connecting CablesPreparation for Wall-Mounting
You can bundle the connecting cables as
illustrated below.
1Get the cable holder from the accessories
bag and place the screw (supplied) in the
cable holder without exerting pressure.
2
Install the cable holder on the Table-Top
Stand by exerting pressure on the screw and
turning it to the left.
3Secure 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

~
• 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.
