Welcome to the World of BRAVIA®

o

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.

BRAVIA

TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience the

BRAVIA

TV, you need access to HD programming. Your

BRAVIA

TV

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 22, 35

and 36).

cord when you install the TV unit to the Table-Top
Stand.

4 Use the supplied screws to attach the TV unit

to the Table-Top Stand. Shown here with a
three screw model; other models may require
screwing four screws (refer to the “Attaching
the Table-Top Stand” flyer).

If an electric
screwdriver is used, set
the torque to tighten at
approximately 1.5 N·m,
15 Kgf·cm.

Preparation for Wall-Mount Bracket

All models are ready to be mounted on a wall.
Models KDL-52V4100 and KDL-52W4100 will
require detaching the Table-Top stand.

• 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.

• For bracket installation, refer to the supplied
“Installing the Wall-Mount Bracket” and the
instruction guide provided by the Wall-Mount
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.

• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the
Wall-Mount 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.
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.

8-12 mm

Follow the simple steps below to remove the
Table- To p S t an d :

1 Unplug the AC power cord and disconnect all

the cables from the TV.

2 Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the

4 Remove the screws on the rear of the TV (see

illustration in the next column). 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 or three people. Do not
attempt to lift the TV by yourself.

• Shown here is model KDL-52V4100; other
models may only require removal of three screws
(refer to the “Attaching the Table-Top Stand”
flyer).

When Installing the TV Against a Wall or Enclosed Area

Make sure that your TV has adequate air
circulation. Allow enough space around the TV as
shown below. Avoid operating the TV at
temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C).

• 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.

• 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.

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

• 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.
