The Four Steps to a Full 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 a proper connection setup. Refer to the Quick Setup
Guide, enclosed separately, for connecting other optional equipment.
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.
TV Feature Highlights
Your new BRAVIA High Definition LCD TV will dazzle you with stunning 1080p image
quality but won’t confuse you with complicated operation. The following features have
been included to help you get started enjoying your new TV.
➢ BRAVIA Sync: Your BRAVIA TV communicates with other Sony equipment
supporting the Control for HDMI function (page 16).
➢ Favorites: Your favorite channels and inputs are at your fingertips for easy
access to programs and inputs (page 17).
➢ Auto Wide Mode: Set your TV to auto adjust the screen based on the signal
resolution (page 18).
➢ ECO Settings: This model includes a number of features designed to make
your new BRAVIA HDTV easier on your pocketbook and the environment.
Light Sensor - Detects the amount of light in your room and automatically
adjusts the brightness of the screen resulting in more comfortable viewing in
any light condition.
Backlight - This feature reduces power consumption by turning off the
backlight.

Getting Started
Setting Up Your TV
Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount it to a wall
right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the
instructions attached to the TV unit or read the instruction in the online Reference Book.
Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:
• Carry the TV with an adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid
damages.
Getting Started
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation if it is installed against a wall or in an enclosed area.
• 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 the TV on.
• Read the Dos and Don’ts in the Safety Booklet for additional safety information.
• For details about the items listed above, see the online Reference Book.
• 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 name is available on page 3. For details on
securing the TV, see page 11.

MENU
On Picture Menu, you can adjust the picture you see to fit your viewing preference. These
settings allow you to customize for the signals your TV receives; such as the broadcasted signal
or signal from your gaming equipment or from your connected equipment.
The Sound Menu allows you to customize your sound settings to suit your audio preferences.
You can also set the settings to enjoy the sound from your connected audio system.
The Screen Menu allows you to change the proportions of the screen. Depending on the signal
your TV receives, the images on the screen can fill the screen from edge to edge on the screen or
can be smaller, looking like a square in a rectangle shaped screen. The screen settings allow you
to adjust the size and shape of image you see on your TV. Use the Wide Mode option or use
Auto Wide, or 4:3 Default to keep the square like screen size.
Channels & Inputs Menu allows you to switch between the cable and antenna signal, run
Auto Program, Add Digital Channels, or you can show or hide channels to appear when
you use the CH+/- button or even label channels or inputs.
Parental Lock Menu allows you to block programs according to their content and rating labels
and block channels (regardless of the programs). Set the password and limit the access based on
the rating levels or block the channel. Not every program is suited for the general audiences.
Setup Menu allows you to set and customize Closed Captions with different size and color
of the fonts, program the TV to turn off, select the Language for your on-screen display, or
change the settings related to power consumption.

Other Information
How to Care for Your BRAVIA
Safety is very important, please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet) provided with the
TV.
• Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the power source before you begin cleaning your TV.
Gently dust the TV with a soft cloth. Do not use any chemicals or hard material to clean the TV as they may
lead to discoloration and scratches.
Stubborn stains can be wiped with a soft cloth moisten with warm water. Do not plug the TV back until the
moisture from cleaning has evaporated.
• The TV should also be secured to a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over. Follow the instruction
provided in the online Reference Book on securing the TV section or use a Sony designed wall mount
bracket to mount the TV to wall. If you have young children or pets at home, check to see if the TV is
securely fastened regularly.
Things to consider
• If there is no picture from some video sources, check the Input selection by pressing INPUT button. You
may be watching the wrong input.
• If there is no sound, you may have accidentally pressed the MUTING button on your remote control; press
the MUTING button again or press VOL+ to deactivate muting.
• If the remote control does not operate, the batteries may be installed incorrectly or may be low. An object or
light may be interfering with the remote control’s operation.
• To reset the TV to factory default settings:
❑ Turn on the TV. Press and hold down the V button on the remote, press the POWER button on the TV
set. Release the V button.
❑ Select Product Support option under Setup menu and select OK on Return settings to factory
defaults.
IMPORTANT: The reset will clear all of your customized settings. Parental Lock password may be
required if it has been created.
If you have forgotten your password, enter the master password: 4357. This password clears your previous
password and allows you to enter a new password.
The online Reference Book provides additional information on resolving problems. Read the online
Reference Book at www.sony.com/referencebook
