Running Initial Setup

Select Your Content Source

Whether you are watching cable, satellite or broadcast TV; playing a VCR, DVD or Blu-ray

Disc™; or connecting to your PC, you need to choose the correct Input using your remote

control:

Press the

HOME

button on your remote control to display on-screen the

TV

mode or

External Inputs

selection menu; OR

Press the

INPUT

button repeatedly until your selection is highlighted on-screen.

Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio

High Definition and Standard Definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios

(the width-to-height shape of the image). Most HD signals use a widescreen aspect ratio of

16:9. Most SD signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio looks perfect on your

BRAVIA™, but a 4:3 image must be adjusted to look right. You can:

Adjust your TV so boxy 4:3 images are automatically re-configured (zoomed or

stretched) to fit the wide TV screen; OR

Watch SD content in its original, boxy format with wide black bars surrounding the

image to fill in unused space (for example, you may prefer to watch an old classic movie

in its original 4:3 format, not reconfigured for a wide screen).

Press the

WIDE

button on your remote control to display the

Wide Mode

setting of

your preference.
