What is HDMI™?

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are the standard for connecting HDTV.

They are built to properly handle high bandwidth, uncompressed video and

multi-channel audio—all in one cable.

Connecting a PC to Your BRAVIA

May require

DVI-to-HDMI

adapter and separate audio connector when connecting to

the HDMI input.

Connect PC’s audio output when using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) or HD15

connection.

Press PC’s FUNCTION Key + Select Output to transmit to TV.

When using an HD15 connection, adjust TV’s

Phase

to correct sharpness.

Refer to your

BRAVIA

Operating Instructions Manual for more information.

Congratulations! Your new BRAVIA

®

TV opens the door to the “Stunning HD Experience”.

This guide will explain how to get the most from your new High-Definition TV.

Please take these steps before you power up your

BRAVIA

:

Register online at:

www.sony.com/registration (from U.S.A.)

www.SonyStyle.ca/registration (from Canada)

Make sure you’ve removed all accessory contents from packaging.

Install 2 AA batteries (supplied separately) in your remote control.

Determine whether you will mount your TV on a wall or place it on the Subwoofer.

Sony wall-mounting brackets are designed to provide the best fit. Refer to the Operating

Instruction Manual for more information.

Give your TV 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) of space behind it to properly ventilate.

The Four Steps to a Stunning 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 content, and proper

setup

connection with components such as your HD cable

or satellite box.

You must get HD programming to experience the stunning detail of HDTV.

The quality of the image you see on your

BRAVIA

can only be as high as the quality of the

signal it is displaying. This chart shows the different signal types and how to access them.

TOOLS

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

to display the list of external inputs and choose the desired input.

Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio

High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect

ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image). Most HD signals use a wide screen aspect

ratio of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your

BRAVIA

screen, maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.

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.

✍

Press

on your remote control to display the
