Overview

Welcome to the World of OLED TV

Thank you for purchasing this Sony XEL-1. This television is equipped with an organic lightemitting diode (OLED) display panel that produces superb picture quality. This technology brings a multitude of benefits to this television. Experience the beautiful images that OLED offers!

What is OLED?

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel includes organic materials that emit light when an electric current is passed through them. The strength of luminescence is controlled by the amount of electric current.

Benefits of OLED

High Brightness

The self-emitting nature of the OLED display panel allows for more efficient light output, creating bright and vivid images.

High Contrast Ratio

In addition to the bright and vivid images produced by the OLED display panel, black level is created by completely stopping light emission. This allows the panel to achieve a uniquely high level of contrast.

Vivid Color Reproduction

OLED display panels use separate organic layers to produce red, green, and blue light, which are filtered to achieve greater color purity. As a result, each color is vividly and clearly reproduced.

Quick Response Time

Light from the OLED display panel is emitted instantly when electricity is supplied, enabling the OLED very fast response time.

Protecting the TV Screen

Precautions to Protect the Screen from Damage

Prolonged display of still images over time may cause permanent image retention (image burn). Avoid displaying images that cause image burn and take the following measures to protect the screen.

• Auto Brightness Control adjusts the brightness of the image automatically when highly contrasting images are displayed on the screen for a long period of time (see page 41).

• This TV has a function to reduce the risk of image retention by slightly shifting the picture position on the display automatically after a set time has elapsed.

Image Retention Screen Saver

Due to the characteristics of the material used in an OLED screen for its high-precision image, permanent image retention may occur if still images are displayed in the same position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.

Images that may cause image retention

• wide screen sources with black bars at the top and bottom (Letterboxed Image)

• 4:3 screen sources with black bars at the left and right

• non-moving images such as photo

• game sources

• on-screen tickers, such as those used for news and headlines.

• on-screen menus, program guides, channel numbers, etc., of connected equipment such as a set-top box, video recorder, disc player, etc.

To reduce the risk of image burn

• Fill the entire screen with images

Set Wide Mode to Wide Zoom or Full in the Screen settings (see page 34).

• Turn off the OSD (On Screen Display)

Press the DISPLAY button to turn off the OSD. Turn off the menus of connected equipment. For details, see the operating instructions supplied with the equipment.

• Select the appropriate Picture settings for the room brightness

Setting Picture Mode to Standard in the Picture settings is recommended for home

entertainment and when viewing a channel that often displays the station logo (see page 32).

If still or motionless images are displayed and no operation is performed (such as switching the channels or adjusting the volume control) for more than 5 minutes, the screen saver starts automatically. It protects the screen from image burn damage and reduces power consumption.

Under the following conditions the XEL-1 screen saver may appear:

• a photo from Memory Stick

• thumbnails of photos from Memory Stick

• a music file with an image from Memory Stick

• some settings screens

Press V/v/B/b, or VOL +/- to return to the previously viewed images, or just press another button(s) to operate another function(s).

The screen will gradually fade to dark

If no operation is performed (such as switching the channels or adjusting the volume control) for more than 5 minutes, the screen fades to dark gradually. Press HOME or OPTIONS to deactivate the screen saver.

Images that may darken the screen

• still or motionless images displayed by HDMI connection

• a still or motionless broadcast image
