Initial Setup instructions are displayed on the screen when your BRAVIA is powered on 
for the first time.
Select the language for the OSD (on screen display).
Select the type of use. (Select Home for compliance with 
ENERGY STAR.)
Connect either cable or antenna to your TV. You can 
connect both using an A-B RF switch (not supplied). If 
you connect cable, the TV will scan cable channels. After 
this scanning, you can search antenna channels as well.
If you have both cable and antenna connections available, please 
connect cable first.
If you are not using the CABLE/ANTENNA connection to TV 
(for example, if using a cable or satellite box), you can cancel the 
Auto Program by selecting Cancel.
If the Initial Setup programming found cable channels, 
you will be able to scan antenna channels as well.  
Connect the antenna (using an A-B RF switch, not 
supplied) and change the switch to antenna, then start 
Auto Program to search antenna channels.
If you did not follow the Initial Setup screen the first time  
you turned on your TV, refer to your Operating Instructions 
Manual.

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 the INPUT button repeatedly until your selection is highlighted on-screen.
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).  
The 16:9 aspect ratio (common to most HD signals) looks perfect on your BRAVIA.
The boxy 4:3 aspect ratio (common to most SD signals) must be adjusted to fill the screen.  
Press the WIDE button 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 the remote control’s MENU button, highlight and select the Picture and Sound 
settings to adjust the picture and sound quality of your content.
Refer to your Operating Instructions Manual for more information on adjusting or 
customizing your settings.

Your New
 BRAVIA® 
LCD HDTV
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:  http://productregistration.sony.com (from U.S.A.) 
http://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 Table-Top 
Stand. Sony wall-mounting brackets are designed to provide the best fit.
Give your TV 2 
3
/
8
 inches (6 cm) of space behind it to properly ventilate.
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 receiving.
Contact your cable or satellite provider to upgrade your service to HD. Receive over-the-
air HD broadcasts with an HD-quality antenna (www.antennaweb.org) and discover the 
wealth of entertainment now available on super-high-resolution Blu-ray Disc™.
