Welcome to the World of B R AV I A TM

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color TV. This manual is

for models KDL-52XBR2 and KDL-52XBR3. The packing box contains

accessories that are listed on page 52.

Connecting 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.

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).

The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs 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. This is due to your TV's large screen

and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for certain digitally recorded

programs. Adjust the Reality/Clarity in the DRG Palette setting (page 34) to

optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
