What is HDMI™?
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are the standard for connecting
HDTV.
They are built to properly handle high bandwidth, uncompressed video and
multi-channel audio—all in one cable.
Connecting a PC to Your BRAVIA
May require DVI-to-HDMI adapter and separate audio connector.
Connect PC’s audio output when using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) or HD15
connection.
Press PC’s FUNCTION Key + Select Output to transmit to TV.
When using an HD15 connection, adjust TV’s Phase to correct sharpness.
Refer to your BRAVIA Operating Instructions Manual for more information.

Congratulations! Your new BRAVIA® TV opens the door to the “Stunning HD Experience”.
This guide will explain how to get the most from your new High-Definition TV.
Please take these steps before you power up your BRAVIA:
Register online at:
www.sony.com/registration (from U.S.A.)
www.SonyStyle.ca/registration (from Canada)
Make sure you’ve removed all accessory contents from packaging.
Install 2 AA batteries (supplied separately) in your remote control.
Determine whether you will mount your TV on a wall or place it on the Table-Top
Stand. Sony wall-mounting brackets are designed to provide the best fit. Refer to the
Operating Instruction Manual for more information.
Give your TV 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) of space behind it to properly ventilate.
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 content, and proper setup connection with components such as your HD
cable or satellite box.
You must get HD programming to experience the stunning detail of HDTV.
The quality of the image you see on your BRAVIA can only be as high as the quality of the
signal it is displaying. This chart shows the different signal types and how to access them.

Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio

(the width-to-height ratio of the image). Most HD signals use a wide screen aspect ratio of
16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen, maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
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.
