Installing the TV

Introducing the TV

Preventing the TV from Toppling Over

Attaching the Support Belt

Introducing the TV

1 Screw the support belt (supplied) to the TV stand with a wood screw

(supplied).

2 Attach the support belt to the stand, and screw the belt with a securing

screw (supplied) using a coin, etc.

3 Adjust the length by pulling the support belt towards you while holding

the TV stand.

Be sure to take measures to prevent the TV from toppling over and causing injury.

If the supplied wood screw does not fit depending on the type of TV stand, or when the securing strength is not enough, prepare commercial screws (3 to 4 mm (1/8 to 3/16 inches) diameter) to fit to the TV stand. Consult your dealer about the types of screw.

When Mounting on a Wall

Be sure to use the following optional wall-mount brackets to hang the TV on the wall. KDL-V26XBR1/KDL-V32XBR1: SU-WL31 KDL-V40XBR1: SU-PW2 See the Instruction Guide supplied with the wall-mount bracket on how to mount the TV on the wall.

Bundling the Connecting Cables

After the connections are done, organize the cables as illustrated below.

1 Attach the cable holder (supplied) to the rear of the TV (

), then turn

the cable holder a quarter turn to the left (B).

2 Push the clasp lever in to release the lock and open the cover, and then

insert the cables.

3 Close the cover until it clicks shut and locks.

Connecting the TV

Overview

Your new LCD TV can receive both analog and digital (HD and SD) broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV company.

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and choose the correct display format (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page

50). It is strongly recommended to connect the cable and antenna inputs using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

Connecting the TV

Making Video and Audio Connections

Best Video Performance

*An adapter is necessary when you are connecting a DVI-equipped device to this TV

(see page 20).

The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV, use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video performance, as to below.

About Using HDMI to DVI Adapter

If you are connecting equipment with DVI connector to this TV, you will need to use an adapter. You can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable or an HDMI adapter (not supplied). Both are available at your local electronics store. When you use the adapter, you will also need to use separate audio cables for sound as DVI connector is for video signals only.

Using CableCARD Device

CableCARD device provides cable subscribers with access to digitally encrypted cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that will enable you to receive not only standard definition but also high definition television. The CableCARD device, which is provided by your cable TV company, is inserted into the TV’s rear panel CableCARD slot. After the service is activated with your cable TV company, the card replaces the need for a separate set-top box.

Connecting the TV

About Using CableCARD Device

Activating CableCARD Service

If you are planning to use a separate cable box for digital cable TV services, you may be able to receive programming using this TV with the CableCARD device instead — except in the following circumstances: s Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD service in your

viewing area.

s You want to access your cable TV company’s interactive or advanced

features (such as video-on-demand or, in some cases, pay-per-view). At this time, these services require a bidirectional link, which are only available through the use of a separate set-top box. The CableCARD device is currently a unidirectional device only, and cannot provide these advanced services.

Check with your cable TV company for CableCARD service details, limitations, pricing, and availability, all of which are determined by your cable TV company — not Sony.

Before you can use CableCARD service, you need to insert the CableCARD device (supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as described below:

1 Remove the cover and insert the CableCARD device into the TV’s

CableCARD slot.

CableCARD

(Continued)

Connecting the TV

z You can also access

information about your CableCARD device in the Applications settings (see page 91).

CAUTION: Inserting the CableCARD device incorrectly may result

in permanent damage to the card and the TV.

2 Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place, and then

reattach the cover.

3 After 1-2 minutes, the CableCARD device setup screen is automatically

displayed. This screen includes information your cable TV company will request before they can activate your service.

4 Follow the displayed instructions: Phone your cable TV company. A

representative will guide you through the activation process.

5 After your CableCARD device is activated, your cable TV company

will download the service information, including the channel list, to the CableCARD device. After the CableCARD device has acquired channels from your cable TV company, the TV tunes to the lowest available channel.

Removing the CableCARD Device

In the event you want to cancel your service, contact your cable TV company.

Once the CableCARD device is removed, your TV will no longer decrypt digital cable TV programming services that require CableCARD device.

1 Push the eject button on the TV’s CableCARD slot to release the card.
