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.

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 15).

resolution (page 16).

adjusts the brightness of the screen resulting in more comfortable viewing in
any light condition.

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 instructions 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.
*
* Table-Top Stand for models KDL-46VL150 and KDL-52VL150
• 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 2. For details on
securing the TV, see page 10.
