Introducing
Welcome

Your New BRAVIA ®

to the World of BRA VIA ®

Thank you for choosing this Sony BRAVIA® high-definition television. Use the
documentations 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 ® SyncTM: Allows your BRAVlA TV to communicate with other Sony
equipment supporting the Control for HDMI function (page 25).
Digital Media Accessibility: Use the Photo, Music, and Video icons to
access photo, music, and video files from Sony USB equipment (page 29).
PIP (Picture in Picture): You can work on your PC and watch your favorite TV
program simultaneously (page 26).
Favorites: Your favorite channels and inputs are at your finger tips for easy
access (page 27).
Auto Wide Mode: Set your TV to automatically adjust the screen based on the
signal resolution (page 27).
Input Selection:
(page 28).

Allows you to easily switch between the connected equipment

Motionflow: Enhance the smooth picture movements to reduce the blur (page
31). (This feature is available for models: EX500 and EX501 .)
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 21).
(Continued)

Ambient Sensor: Automatically optimizes the picture settings according to the
ambient light in the room. The sensor detects ambient light levels to adjust the
brightness and color temperature of the picture. With this feature you can have
the best picture quality under your room's lighting conditions (page 32).

Getting Started
Setting

Up Your TV

Some TV models are 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.
Except KDL-32FA600 model

KDL-32FA600 model only

• Place your palm directly underneath but do
not squeeze the panel's speaker grill area.

×-J

•
•
•
•

Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 15.
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.

before powering on again.
• Check the volume control.
• Press MUTING or VOE + so that "Muting" disappears from the screen (page
22).
• Set Speakers to TV Speakers in the Sound settings (see page 34). If

regardless of the TV's volume control.
• When using HDMI input with Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio,
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) may not provide an audio signal.
• When tuned to a digital channel with Alternate Audio, the broadcaster
may not be broadcasting your preferred Alternate Audio language.
Press TOOLS, highlight and select Alternate Audio, and change the
Alternate Audio language (see page 34).

General

TV screen feels warm

• 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.

Wide Mode changes
automatically

• 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 35).
• Check the Auto Wide option in the Screen settings (see page 35).

Suddenly the picture gets
smaller

• 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 since the
content information is regulated by the channel signal provider. You can
mmmally change the Wide Mode if you prefer (see page 27). This setting
will remain in effect until you change the channel or input or manually change
the Wide Mode again.

"Black box" on screen

• You have selected a text option and no text is available (see page 41). 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.

• 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

How to reset the TV to
factory settings

• 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.
• 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 oft"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 37).
• The accessible file or folder limit in a directory is 1,000 for USB
connected equipment. This limit includes non-supported files or just
folders. Files or folders are populated based on their time stamps. Photo,
music files or folders exceeding the limit will not be displayed.
• Set display size to expanded.
• Whether or not photo images can or cannot be displayed in full-screen
depends on the resolution or aspect ratio of the file.
• Depending on the image dimension, file size, and number of files in a
folder, some photo images or folders take time to display.
• The first time a camera is connected to the TV via USB cable, it may take
up to a couple of minutes for the photos to display.
• 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 38).
• 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".
