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 when connecting to the HDMI input.

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.

Refer to your BRAVIA™ Operating Instruction Manual for more information.

Watching Your TV

Your New

BRAVIA

Congratulations! Your new BRAVIA™ TV opens the door to the “Stunning 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.

Install 2 AA batteries (supplied separately) in your remote control.

Determine whether you will hang your TV on a wall or place it on a floor 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 Four Steps to a Stunning 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 stunning 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 the

button on your remote control to display on-screen the

Applications menu, then select External Inputs and will appear the list of

external inputs; OR

Press the

button to display the list of external inputs and choose the desired

input.

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 the

button on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting

of your preference.
