Congratulations! Your new BRAVIA

®

TV opens the door to a “Full 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:

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

http://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 a floor stand.

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

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

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.

Contact your cable or satellite provider to upgrade your service to HD. Receive over-the-

air HD broadcasts with an HD-quality antenna (www.antennaweb.org) and discover the

wealth of entertainment now available on super-high-resolution Blu-ray Disc™.

Turn off and unplug all components before making connections.

Do not turn on the TV until connection setup is completed.

Watching Your TV

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

on your remote control to display on-screen the

Shortcuts

menu,

then select

External Inputs

and will appear the external inputs list; or

Press

to display the external inputs list 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

Wide Mode

setting of your

preference.

Customize Sound and Picture Quality

You can choose optimum sound and picture settings to match the content you are

displaying on your TV:

Press

on your remote control and select

Picture

or

Sound

menu, then

choose the appropriate setting for your content.

Use the remote control

to quickly adjust picture quality.

Refer to your

BRAVIA

Operating Instructions Manual for more information.
