Select Your Content Source

Whether you are watching cable, satellite or broadcast TV; playing a VCR, DVD or Blu-ray Disc; or connecting to your PC, you need to choose the correct input using your remote control:

Press the INPUT button repeatedly until your selection is highlighted on-screen.

Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio

High Definition and Standard Definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image).

The 16:9 aspect ratio (common to most HD signals) looks perfect on your BRAVIA.

The boxy 4:3 aspect ratio (common to most SD signals) must be adjusted to fill the screen.

Press the WIDE button on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting of your preference.

Customize Sound and Picture Quality

You can choose optimum sound and picture settings to match the content you are displaying on your TV:

Press the remote control’s HOME button, then select the Picture and Sound settings to adjust the picture and sound quality of your content.

Refer to your Operating Instructions Manual for more information on adjusting or customizing your settings.

Your New BRAVIA® LCD HDTV

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:

http://www.sony.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. Give your TV 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) of space behind it to properly ventilate.

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 receiving. Contact your cable, satellite or HD Service provider to upgrade your service to HD. Receive over-the-air HD broadcasts with an HD-quality antenna (www.antennaweb.org) and discover the wealth of entertainment now available on super-high-resolution Bluray Disc™.

Connecting to Your TV

Your BRAVIA TV must be properly connected to components such as sound system and cable or satellite box.

Notes on Connection:

Your TV is equipped with multiple HDMI inputs; connect your incoming signal source (HD Cable Box, HD Satellite Box, or DVD) with HDMI or component video for the best possible picture quality. If your connecting equipment has DVI output instead of HDMI output, you must use DVI-to-HDMI cable for the video and also connect an audio cable for the sound.

Connecting a PC to Your BRAVIA® TV

Connect PC’s audio output when using an HD15 connection. Press PC’s FUNCTION Key + Select Output to transmit to TV. When using an HD15 connection, adjust TV’s Pitch and Phase to correct sharpness. Refer to your BRAVIA® Operating Instructions Manual for more information.
