Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color TV. This manual
for models KDL-52XBR2
and KDL-52XBR3.

the TV
To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and
select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect
ratio (see "Changing the Wide Screen Mode" on page 24). It is strongly
recommended
that you connect the antenna/cable
input using the supplied
75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm
twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in
signal deterioration.
If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far
away from the TV as possible.
You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page
16). For multiple equipment connections,
please refer to the separate Quick
Setup Guide.
