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

™

DVI-to-HDMI

adapter and separate audio connector.

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

Pitch

and

Phase

to correct sharpness.

Refer to your BRAVIA™ Operating Instruction Manual for more information.

Connect with an HDMI cable when using an HDMI compatible PC.

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

HOME

on your remote control to display on-screen the

TV

mode or

External

Inputs

selection menu; OR

Press

INPUT

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

WIDE

on your remote control to display the

Wide Mode

setting of your

preference.
