Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIATM 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 full 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 TM Player or other external equipment

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

The Four Steps to Full HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source, and Setup

Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a

source of HD programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup

connections (see page 14). 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 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 23, 37

and 38).

TV Home Menu: XMBTM (Xross Media Bar)

The XMBTMis a menu of BRAVIA features and input sources displayed on the TV screen. The

XMBTMis an easy way to select programming and adjust settings on your BRAVIA TV. Press the

HOME button on your remote control to access the XMBTM.

How to reset the TV to factory

settings

• The picture gets smaller during the commercials, this is due to the method the

provider broadcasts their contents. When HD content channels switch to SD

definition content (commercials), the picture may be small with a black border.

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

this feature, set CC Display to Off. If yon were trying to select closed

captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4.

• Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9

(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these

programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more

details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your

program provider).

• Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the

screen.

• 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 television.
