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:
Register online at: http://productregistration.sony.com (from U.S.A.)
http://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.
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 displaying.
Contact your cable or satellite provider to upgrade your service to HD. Receive over-theair HD broadcasts with an HD-quality antenna (www.antennaweb.org) and discover
the wealth of entertainment now available on super-high-resolution Blu-ray Disc™.
