Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio

You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD

signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice

a big difference. The 1080 HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the

standard TV signal.

High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the

width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standard-

definition TV.

16:9 (high-definition) source

Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio

of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen and

maintains a crisp, clear, vivid picture.

4:3 (standard-definition) source

Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3

aspect ratio. When a 4:3 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.

• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 22, 31

and 32).

3Adjust the length by pulling the support belt

toward you while holding the Table-Top

Stand.

•Be sure to take measures to prevent the TV t_om

toppling over and causing injury.

• The supplied wood screw may not be used depending

on the type of TV stand. In this case, or when the

securing strength is not enough, use commercial

screws 1/8to 3/16 inch (3 to 4 ram) diameter to fit to the

TV stand. Consult your dealer about the types of

screw(s).

This TV can be installed on a wall by using a Wall-

Mount Bracket (sold separately). Before mounting

5When screws are removed, lift the TV off the

stand. Make sure that you carry out this task

with at least two people. Do not attempt to lilt

the TV by yourself.

• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand l\_r any reason

other than to wall-mount the TV.

• When using an electric screwdriver, set the torque

setting to approximately 2 N.m {20 Kgf.cm}.

• Be sure to store the removed screws and Table-Top

Stand in a safe place until you are ready to reattach the

Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small

children.

• For bracket installation, refer to the supplied Installing

the Wall-Mount Bracket and the instruction guide

provided by the Wall-Mount Bracket model for your

TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this

TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for
