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).

Choose your viewing country.

Select the type of use.

Connect either cable or antenna to your TV. You can 

connect both using an A-B RF switch (not supplied).



  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.

Channels of the signal source (cable or antenna) 

connected in step 4 are automatically scanned and 

detected.

Set the current date and time.

If your BRAVIA is connected to a wired LAN or 

wireless LAN, make the network setting.

Select Automatic Software Download. If your 

BRAVIA is connected to a network, it is recommended 

to set to automatically download future available 

services.

If you did not follow the Initial Setup screen the first time 

you turned on your TV, refer to your Operating 

Instructions Manual. To change the signal source setting 

(cable to antenna or vice versa), press HOME and select 

Settings, Channel, Signal Type to select signal source type, and then perform Auto 

Program.

When the Initial Setup is completed, consider carrying out these items:

Whether you are watching cable, satellite or broadcast TV; playing a VCR, DVD or Blu-ray 

Disc; or connecting to your PC or other equipment, 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 fill the screen.  

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 HOME button, select Settings, then 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.
