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.

Operating Instructions

Provides the most detailed

information to operate your

TV.

Quick Setup Guide

Provides TV setup information with sample

connection diagrams.

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 HD Experience

Set, Source, 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: Allows you to easily switch between the connected equipment

(page 25).

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.

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

Provides the most detailed

information to operate your

TV.

Quick Setup Guide

Provides TV setup information with sample

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

access to HD programming. Your BRAVlA TV can receive and display HD programming

from:

•Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna

• 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 HD Experience

Set, Source, 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).

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.
