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).

Connect either cable or antenna to your TV (you can 

connect both using an A-B RF switch). If you connect 

cable, the TV will scan cable channels. After this 

scanning, you can search antenna channels as well.

If you have cable and antenna connection available, 

please connect cable first.
If you are not using the CABLE/ANTENNA connection 

to TV, 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.

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.

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 look right.  

Press the WIDE button on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting of 

your preference.

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.

 BRAVIA® 

Congratulations! Your new BRAVIA® TV opens the door to the “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 hang 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.

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™.

Your BRAVIA® TV must be properly connected to components such as sound system and 

cable or satellite box.

Turn off and unplug all components before making connections.

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

See reverse side of this poster for sample connection diagrams.

HDMI cable carries both 

video and audio signals.

(*When HDMI is connected to 

DVI with an adapter, a separate 

audio L/R is necessary.)
