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

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 Pitch and Phase to correct sharpness.
Refer to your BRAVIA™ Operating Instruction Manual for more information.
Connect with an HDMI cable when using an HDMI compatible PC.

Running Initial Setup
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 HOME on your remote control to display on-screen the TV mode or External 
Inputs selection menu; OR
Press INPUT 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 shape of the image). Most HD signals use a widescreen aspect ratio of 
16:9. Most SD signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio looks perfect on your 
BRAVIA™, but a 4:3 image must be adjusted to look right. You can:
Adjust your TV so boxy 4:3 images are automatically re-configured (zoomed or 
stretched) to fit the wide TV screen; OR
Watch SD content in its original, boxy format with wide black bars surrounding the 
image to fill in unused space (for example, you may prefer to watch an old classic 
movie in its original 4:3 format, not reconfigured for a wide screen).
Press WIDE on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting of your 
preference.

Press HOME on your remote control and select Picture or Sound. Choose the

quality.
