What is HDMI™?
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are the standard for connecting HDTV. 
They are built to properly handle high bandwidth, uncompressed video and 
multi-channel audio—all in one cable.
Connecting a PC to Your BRAVIA
May require DVI-to-HDMI adapter and separate audio connector when connecting to 
the HDMI input.
Connect PC’s audio output when using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) or HD15 
connection.
Press PC’s FUNCTION Key + Select Output to transmit to TV.
When using an HD15 connection, adjust TV’s Phase to correct sharpness.
Refer to your BRAVIA Operating Instructions Manual for more information.

Congratulations! Your new BRAVIA® TV opens the door to the “Stunning HD Experience”.
This guide will explain how to get the most from your new High-Definition TV.
Please take these steps before you power up your BRAVIA:
Register online at:  
www.sony.com/registration (from U.S.A.)  
www.SonyStyle.ca/registration (from Canada)
Make sure you’ve removed all accessory contents from packaging.
Install 2 AA batteries (supplied separately) in your remote control.
Determine whether you will mount your TV on a wall or place it on the Subwoofer. 
Sony wall-mounting brackets are designed to provide the best fit. Refer to the Operating 
Instruction Manual for more information.
Give your TV 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) of space behind it to properly ventilate.
The Four Steps to a Stunning 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 content, and proper setup connection with components such as your HD cable 
or satellite box.
You must get HD programming to experience the stunning detail of HDTV.
The quality of the image you see on your BRAVIA can only be as high as the quality of the 
signal it is displaying. This chart shows the different signal types and how to access them.

Select Your Content Source
Whether you are watching cable, satellite or broadcast TV; playing a VCR, DVD or Blu-
ray Disc; or connecting to your PC, you need to choose the correct Input using your 
remote control:
Press 
 on your remote control to display on-screen the Shortcuts menu,

Press   to display the list of external inputs and choose the desired input.
Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio
High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect 
ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image). Most HD signals use a wide screen aspect 
ratio of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen, maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
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.
Press 
 on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting of your preference.
Customize Sound and Picture Quality
You can choose optimum sound and picture settings to match the content you are 
displaying on your TV: 
Press 
 on your remote control and select Picture or Sound menu, then 
choose the appropriate setting for your content.
Use the remote control 
 to quickly adjust picture quality. 
Refer to your BRAVIA Operating Instructions Manual for more information.
