➢ BRAVIA Sync: Allows your BRAVIA TV to communicate with other Sony

equipment supporting the Control for HDMI function (page 21).

Introducing Your New BRAVIA®

➢ PIP (Picture in Picture): You can work on your PC and watch your favorite TV

program simultaneously (page 22).

➢ Favorites: Your favorite channels and inputs are at your finger tips for easy

access (page 22).

➢ Auto Wide Mode: Set your TV to automatically adjust the screen based on the

➢ Input Selection: Allows you to easily switch between the connected equipment

(page 24).

Getting Started

Setting Up Your TV

The TV is packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount the 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. Use a Philips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the attachment instruction taped to the TV unit.

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.

• Placement of the hands carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.

• Adequate ventilation is necessary (see page 13).

• 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 on the TV.

• For additional safety information, read the supplied Safety and Regulatory Booklet.

• When cable connection is completed, be sure to secure the TV to a stable surface or mount it to a

wall. The designated Sony wall-mount bracket model is available on page 2 of this manual. For details on securing the TV and items listed above, see page 14.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) provides an uncompressed, alldigital audio/video interface between this TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video equipment, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus digital audio. Be sure to use only an HDMI cable that bears the HDMI logo. Use the HDMI IN 1 port when connecting DVI equipment. Use a DVI-to-HDMI cable or adapter (not supplied). Equipment using a DVI connection also requires an additional audio connection using an audio cable connected to AUDIO (L/R).

Connects to the S VIDEO output jack of video equipment. If both composite video and S VIDEO are connected, S VIDEO signal has priority. If you have mono equipment, connect its audio output port to the TV’s L (MONO) audio input port. Use VIDEO IN 2 with AUDIO L (mono) and R.

Connects to a personal computer's video and audio output connector. Can also be connected to other analog RGB equipment. See “PC Input Signal Reference Chart” on page 37 for the signals that can be displayed. For some Apple Macintosh computers, it may be necessary to use an adapter (not supplied). If an adapter is used, connect the adapter to the computer before connecting the HD15-HD15 cable. You may need to adjust the TV settings or your PC's resolution and timing. See page 11 for information on how to setup your PC to this TV.

Connects to the optical audio input of a digital audio equipment that is PCM/Dolby* Digital compatible.

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).

1 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 braces

Stand

2 Secure the TV to the stand.

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

• M4 × 14 mm anchor bolt and M4 nut (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.

Getting Started

Nut

Screw hole on the TableTop Stand

3 Anchor the TV to the wall.

Use the hardware listed below (not supplied).

• Two anchor bolts, size M4 × 10-12 mm (model KDL-26L5000) or M6 × 10-12 mm (model KDL-32L5000). Screw the bolts into the top-most wall-mount holes located on the rear of the TV.

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

• Measure 2 provides minimal protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, follow all three measures recommended above.

• If an electric screwdriver is used, set the torque to tighten at approximately 1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm}.
