The Four Steps to aFull HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source, and Setup
Along with your BRAVIA TV set, acomplete HD system requires an HD sound system, a
source of HD programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup
connections (see page 12). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to
connect other optional equipment.
Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio
You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD
signals. When you compare ahigh-definition signal to astandard analog signal, you will notice
abig difference.
High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the
width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses awider screen than conventional standard-
definition
TV.
16:9 (high-definition) source
Most HDTV signals use awide screen aspect ratio
of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen,
maintaining acrisp, clear, vivid picture.
4:3 (standard-definition) source
Most standard-definition signals use aboxy 4:3
aspect ratio. When a4:3 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.
(bJ
• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to tit the entire screen (see pages 21. 4-1-
and 45).
