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

May require DVI-to-HDMI adapter and separate audio connector.

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.

Your New

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.

Learn more. Visit the Sony HDTV Learning Center www.sony.com/HDTV

Please take these steps before you power up your BRAVIA™:

Register online at:

www.sony.com/registration (from U.S.A.)

www.SonyStyle.ca/registration (from Canada)

Make sure you’ve removed all accessory contents from packaging.

The Four Steps to a Full HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source,

and Setup

Along with your BRAVIA™ TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a

source of HD content, and proper setup connection with components such as your HD

cable or satellite box.

You must get HD programming to experience the full detail of HDTV.

The quality of the image you see on your BRAVIA™ can only be as high as the quality of the

signal it is displaying. This chart shows the different signal types and how to access them.

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.

appropriate setting for your content.

quality.
