Congratulations! Your new BRAVIA® TV opens the door to a “Full 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://www.sony.com/registration (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 a floor 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 displaying.

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™.

Turn off and unplug all components before making connections.

Do not turn on the TV until connection setup is completed.

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.

 to quickly adjust picture quality.
