Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA® high-definition television. The quality of the image you
see on your BRAVIA TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience the
stunning detail of your new BRAVIA
TV, you need access to HD programming. Your BRAVIA TV
can receive and display HD programming from:
•Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna
•HD cable sUbscription
•HD satellite subscription
•Blu-ray
Disc™ player or other HD compatible external equipment
Contact your cable
or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.

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).

Your BRAVIA TV is ENERGY STAR qualified. It meets strict energy efficiency
guidelines set by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of
Energy. ENERGY STAR is ajoint program of these government agencies,
designed to promote energy efficient products and practices.
Depending upon such changed settings, the power consumption may increase which possibly
could exceed the limits required for the ENERGY STAR qualification.

wall for withstanding the
TV's weight.
•Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-
Mount Bracket when attaching the mounting
hooks to the TV set.
The supplied
M6 screws are designed so that they
are 8mm to
12 mm in length when measured
from the attaching surface
of the mounting hook.
