Sony kdl-46v25l1 User Guide

Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color Television. This 
manual is for model KDL-46V25L1. The packing box contains accessories 
that are listed on page 44.

For optimum picture performance, your new BRAVIA TV is capable of 
receiving high definition programming through its integrated tuner. It is also 
capable of receiving HDTV content from a cable or satellite box via the 
video inputs (HDMI and Y/P

 component video; see page 14).

To display clear, crisp pictures, your TV must be connected properly. To 
properly connect your TV, follow the basic connections provided in this 
section. Advanced connection examples are provided in the separate Quick 
Setup Guide accompanied with your TV. The Quick Setup Guide provides a 
variety of optional equipment connection diagrams.

It is strongly recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using the 
supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm 
twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio frequency, resulting in signal 
deterioration.

When the antenna/cable connection is done, you must perform an Initial Setup 
so your TV will create a list of channels you can view (see page 18). After you 
can receive and view programming you should select the proper Wide Mode 
setting to display the picture in your preferred aspect ratio. See “Changing the 
Wide Screen Mode” on pages 21 and 29.

Connecting a cable system or an external VHF/UHF antenna to the 
VHF/UHF input will allow you to enjoy high definition and standard 
definition digital programming (if available in your area) along with the 
standard definition analog programming.

This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital programming for 
both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).
