Welcome to the World of BRAVIA

Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA® high-definition television. The quality of the image you see on your stunning detail of your new can receive and display HD programming from:

• Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna

• HD cable subscription

• HD satellite subscription

• Blu-ray Disc™ player or other HD compatible external equipment

Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.

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 proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup

connections (see page 12). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to connect other optional equipment.

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 21, 45

and 46).

TV Home Menu: XMB™ (XrossMediaBar)

Your BRAVIA TV is Energy Star Compliant. It meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of these government agencies, designed to promote energy efficient products and practices.

• When the TV is initially set up, it is designed to stay within the Energy Star guidelines.

• Changes to certain features, settings, and functionalities of this TV (i.e. TV Guide, Picture/Sound, Light Sensor, Power Savings) can slightly change the power consumption. Depending upon such changed settings, the power consumption may increase which possibly could exceed the limits required for the Energy Star qualification.

• This manual is for the 40, 46, 55 class and 70 inch BRAVIA XBR series models with screen size measured

diagonally. The 55 class has a 54.6 inch viewable image size (measured diagonally).

Getting Started

Preparation for Wall-Mount Bracket

All models are ready to be mounted on a wall.

• 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 a Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

• Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the WallMount Bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. The supplied screws are designed so that they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook.

Leave at least this much space around the set.

(Continued)

Never install the TV set as follows:

• Inadequate air circulation can lead to overheating of the TV and may cause damage to your TV or cause a fire.

Consider the following for best picture quality

• Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

• Use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery.

• Install the TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material.

• When moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area, a sudden room temperature change may cause the TV’s picture to blur or show poor color due to moisture condensation. Should this occur, please wait a few hours to allow the moisture to evaporate before powering on the TV.

Securing the TV

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

Prevent the TV from Toppling Over

s Secure the TV to a wall and/or stand. s Do not allow children to play or climb on

furniture and TV sets.

s Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV. s 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.

s Install the TV where it cannot be pulled,

pushed, or knocked over.

s Route all AC power cords and connecting

cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.

Use a Sony TV Stand

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.

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

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

Secure the TV to the Stand

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

•M6 × 12-15 mm 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.

•Two M6 × 10-12 mm anchor bolts (screw into

the top-most wall-mount 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)

Securing the TV to the wall with cords.

Tie firmly

1 Thread strong cords or chains (not supplied)

through the handle on the rear side of the TV, and tie firmly.

2 Secure the cords or chains to a stable place,

such as a wall or column.

• Securing the TV to the stand without securing it and the stand to the wall provides minimum protection against the TV toppling over. For further protection, follow all three measures recommended above.

1 Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the

AC IN jack of the TV.

2 Secure the AC plug holder to the display’s AC
