repair, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks as specified by Sony and to certify that the TV is safe to operate. Have a qualified service technician dispose of the TV if it is not safe to operate.

For customers in the United States

Lamp in this product contains mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronics Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).

s If damage occurs to the LCD panel, small traces of liquid crystal

sandwiched between the glass may be found on scattered broken glass.

s Do not touch the broken glass with bare hands. As with any broken

glass pieces, avoid skin contact and exposure to your eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these may have an adverse effect on some people. The contacted area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions persist, see your doctor.

s If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch the TV until you have

unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result.

SERVICING

Do not use the TV if you suspect the TV is damaged or if the TV is damaged.

s Do not attempt to service the TV yourself

since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage levels or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Welcome to the World of

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color Television. This manual is for model KDL-40S4100/KDL-46S4100/KDL-52S4100. Be sure to check the supplied accessories against the list on page 43.

Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio

You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference.

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 standarddefinition TV.

16:9 (high-definition) source

Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect rati 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 24, 29 and 30).

Getting Started

Preventing the TV from Toppling

Use a Sony TV Stand

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

Getting Started

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

❑ 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.

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.

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 brace

Stand

(Continued)

Getting Started

2 Secure the TV to the Stand.

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

• M6 × 12-18mm 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.

Anchor bolt

Screw hole on the Table-Top Stand

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

Screw

3 Anchor the TV to the Wall.

Use the hardware listed below (not supplied).

• Two M6 × 12-18mm anchor bolts (screw into the top-most wallmount 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).

Wall-anchor

Anchor bolts

Wall-mount holes

Rope or chain

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 2.0 N·m {20 kgf·cm}.

Bundling the Connecting Cables

Getting Started

You can bundle the connecting cables with the supplied cable band as illustrated below.

(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program provider).

❑ The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your

TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your TV’s large screen and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for certain digitally recorded programs.

❑ Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries. ❑ Point the remote control at the remote control sensor of the TV. ❑ Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try turning

Preparation for Wall Mounting

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 wallmount the TV.

Follow the simple steps below to remove the Table-Top Stand:

Sony Wall-Mount Bracket Model SU-WL500

1 Disconnect all the cables from the TV. 2 Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the TV. 3 Adjust the angle of the Mounting Hook. 4 Start removing the screws behind the TV (See illustration below). Do

not remove any other screws from the TV.

5 When screws are removed, lift the TV off the stand. Make sure that you

carry out this task with at least two people. Do not attempt to lift the TV by yourself.

For bracket installation, refer to the instruction guide provided by the WallMount Bracket model for your TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight. For product protection and safety reasons,

Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by Sony dealers or licensed contractors.

Other Information

Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. The supplied M6 screws are designed so that they are 8 mm 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, etc.

This TV’s PC input does not support Sync on Green or Composite Sync.

This TV’s PC VGA input does not support interlaced signals.

Your PC must support one of the above PC input signals to display on the television.

For the best picture quality, it is recommended to use the signals (boldfaced) in the above chart with a

60 Hz vertical frequency. In plug and play, signals with a 60Hz vertical frequency will be detected automatically. (PC reboot may be necessary.)

* The 1080p timing when applied to the HDMI input will be treated as a video timing and not PC timing.
