Introducing

Your New BRAVIA ®

Welcome to the World of BRA VIA ®
Thank you for choosing this Sony BRAVIA® high-definition television. Use the
documentation listed below to get the most out of your TV.
Safety Booklet
Contains precautionary
measures to keep you and
your TV safe. Read this
information prior to setting up
your TV.

Quick Setup Guide
Provides TV setup information with sample
connection diagrams.

Operating Instructions
Provides the most detailed
information to operate your
TV.

Experiencing

Stunning

HD with Your BRAVIA

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 BRAVlA TV, you need
access to HD programming. Your BRAVlA 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 TM player or other HD compatible external equipment

Contact your cable, satellite or HD service provider for information on upgrading to HD
programming.

The Four Steps to a Stunning
Set, Source,

HD Experience

Sound, and Setup

Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires a source of HD
programming, an HD sound system, and a proper connection setup. Refer to the Quick
Setup Guide, enclosed separately, for connecting optional equipment.
You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth
movement, and high-impact visuals from
1080 HD signals as shown here.
When you compare a high-definition signal
to a standard analog signal, you will notice
a big difference in picture quality. If black
bars appear as shown here, press WIDE
on the remote control to fill the screen.

TV Feature Highlights
Your BRAVIA comes with many convenient features, such as:
BRAVIA ® SynoTM: Allows your BRAVlA TV to communicate with other Sony
equipment supporting the Control for HDMI function (page 23).
Favorites: Your favorite channels and inputs are at your finger tips for easy
access (page 24).
Auto Wide Mode: Set your TV to automatically adjust the screen based on the
signal resolution (page 24).
Input Selection:
(page 25).

Allows you to easily switch between the connected equipment

Scene Select: Allows you to easily adjust your TV to the most suitable picture
and sound settings based on the scenes for the best quality result for the
contents genre you are watching (page 20).

Getting Started
Setting Up Your TV
Your TV is packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right
away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You
will need a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the
attachment instructions provided with the TV.

Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:
• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.
• Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid
damage.
KDL-32BX300

KDL-22BX300

• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 14.
• For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
• Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.
• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may
cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color.
Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.

Poor picture
Picture quality not as good

Broadcast HD formats have
poor quality

• Picture quality depends on the signal content. See Quick Setup Guide
(supplied) to display the best possible picture for that signal.
• Content and signal quality are controlled by the signal provider. Many
HD channels and content are actually upscaled versions of standarddefinition broadcasts. The picture is affected by the quality of the signal
received, which varies between channel and program.

Double images or ghosts

• Check cable/antenna connections.
• Check the antenna location and direction.

Only snow and noise appear
on the screen

• Check if the antenna is broken or bent.
• Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable life. (3-5 years
in normal use, 1-2 years at the seaside.)
• Keep the TV away from noise sources such as cars, motorcycles, or hairdryers.
• If using 300 ohm twin lead, move the excess lead away from the TV or
try using 75-ohm coaxial cable instead.
• Adjust the Picture Mode options in the Picture settings (see page 27).
• If you set the Power Saving mode to Low or High, it will enhance the
black level.
• Make sure that the antenna is connected using a 75-ohm coaxial cable
(not supplied).
• Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords.
• To avoid TV interference, make sure to use an undamaged antenna cable.
• Transporting the TV from a cold to a warm location or a sudden change
in room temperature may cause moisture condensation, resulting in a
blurry picture or poor color. Turn off your TV and wait a few hours
before powering on again.

General
TV screen feels warm

Wide Mode changes
automatically

Suddenly the picture gets
smaller

"Black box" on screen

• Due to the thin profile of this television, the heat generated by the LCD
panel backlight and supporting electronics will be more noticeable. This
is normal operation and not a cause for concern.
• The current Wide Mode setting is automatically replaced with the 4:3
Default setting when you change the channel or video input, if 4:3
Default in the Screen settings is set to other than Off. If you want to
lock in Wide Mode selected with WIDE on the remote control, set 4:3
Default to Off in the Screen settings (see page 31 ).
• Check the Auto Wide option in the Screen settings (see page 31 ).
• The picture gets smaller during the commercials due to the method in
which the provider broadcasts their content. When HD content channels
switch to SD content (commercials), the picture may be small with a
black border.
• Auto Wide will not expand the picture during these content changes siuce the
content infonnation is regulated by the channel signal provider. You can
manually change the Wide Mode if you prefer (see page 24). This setting
will remain in effect until you chauge the chauuel or iuput or mauually chauge
the Wide Mode agaiu.
• You have selected a text option and no text is available (see page 37). To
turn off this feature, set the CC Display option to Off. If you were
trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4.

the
DVD/Blu-ray (or contact your program provider).
• Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the
screen.
• Programs broadcast in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content
will commonly have black bands on the left and right sides of the screen
which are added by the broadcaster (see image on left).
• Auto Wide will not expand the picture when the black bands on the
sides of the screen are added by the broadcaster. You can manually
change the Wide Mode to Wide Zoom, or Zoom to fill the screen,
which will remain in affect until you change the channel or input or
manually change the Wide Mode again.

Certain programs on DVD
or other digital sources
display a loss of detail,
especially during fastmotion or dark scenes

• This is due to the digital compression of the source content used by
certain digital broadcasts and DVDs which may cause your TV's screen
to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots,
pixelations) to appear on your screen. These signal compressions are
more visible and are dependent on the clarity and resolution of the TV.

Remote control does not
operate

• To determine if the problem is with the remote control or not, press a
button on the TV.
• Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.
• Point the remote control at the remote control sensor located at the front of
the TV.
• Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try
turning off the fluorescent lamps.
• Certain cable companies have limitations on the broadcast of digital
cable channels. Check with your cable company for more information.
• The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Show/Hide
Channels setting (see page 33).
• Select the Password
settings on the Parental Lock settings, then enter
the following master password: 4357. This password clears your previous
password and allows you to enter a new password (see page 34).
• Turn on the TV. While holding down 4"on the remote control, press
POWER on the TV. (The TV will turn itself off, then back on again.)
Release 4".
IMPORTANT: The reset will clear all of your customized settings
including the Parental Lock setting.
