Features

So bright and so thin.

Powerful yet thin LEDs deliver a radically brighter picture than conventional LCD backlighting. They also help achieve 

an ultra-slim TV design that looks beautiful in your home. What's more, Sony's Edge LED Backlight technology delivers 

outstanding contrast, rich colors and enhanced dark-scene detail. 

Lifelike motion.

Watch the football retain its detail during a kickoff and move smoothly as the camera follows it from left to right. Even 

quick motion seen in action movies appears amazingly realistic as Motionflow™ XR 240 technology, which takes motion 

clarity beyond refresh rates, smoothes out the picture where the camera can't for clearer and more natural movement.

Receiver-less TV

For DIRECTV customers with a Genie™ Whole-Home HD DVR, the Sony R520A series allows you to enjoy full DIRECTV service 

and HD DVR functionality without an additional receiver. Place the Genie™ Whole-Home HD DVR in any room of the 

house and enjoy the clean look of your big screen on the wall without the clutter of connecting a DIRECTV receiver to it.

Your smartphone, now on TV

Movies, music and apps from your smartphone can now be viewed big on your TV. With two ways to connect Android 

phones and tablets to the R520A, Sony is helping you add value to the entertainment you already own. 

1. Using a Mobile High Definition Link cable, you can connect your smartphone to the TV to literally “mirror” what’s seen 

on the smartphone screen. Video, photos and apps are re-sized and scaled to fit the larger TV screen. You can then use 

the TV remote to navigate the phone, while it’s charging from the TV.

2. Using screen mirroring technology, you can connect phones that are Miracast™ enabled to the TV.
