Common Questions to Understanding Your
Widescreen LCD Digital Television
What is the difference between a digital TV broadcast and an analog
TV broadcast?
Digital TV broadcast is different from a traditional Analog TV broadcast in that a digital
signal has the potential to be significantly cleaner and can be transmitted in resolutions
that are much higher. A digital program can be broadcast in Standard Definition formats
of 480 lines interlace (similar to Analog TV) or 480 lines progressive. High Definition,
which has improved resolution, can be broadcast in formats of 720 lines progressive (720p)
or 1080 lines interlace (1080i).
How do I get Digital TV Service?
Your digital television is capable of receiving digital channels directly from an over- the-air
antenna or from cable. Your television is also capable of displaying digital programming
from a digital cable box or a digital satellite receiver (refer to the connections provided in
this Quick Setup Guide).
How can I select channels?
If your TV is connected directly to an antenna or cable you can use your TV’s remote
control to change channels. To switch between available analog and digital channels,
press the DIGITAL/ANALOG button on the remote control before making your channel
selection.
If your TV is receiving channels via a cable box or satellite receiver, you must first select the
proper Video Input from your remote control or the TV Menu. You can use the remote
control provided with the cable box or satellite receiver to select channels.
Why do I see black bars on my screen?
Depending on the aspect ratio of the content you are viewing the TV may display black
bars around the picture. Content with an aspect ratio greater than 16:9 may appear with
black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. For standard programming and “full
screen” DVDs, the aspect ratio is 4:3 and the black bars can be seen on both the left and
right sides of the screen. Sometimes, broadcasters themselves include black bars within the
pictures they transmit. In such cases you will see black bars at the top and bottom, left and
right, or on all four sides of the picture. You can use the WIDE button on the remote
control to select a Wide Mode that works best with the content you are viewing. Some
16:9 broadcasts still may show black bars on the edges of the screen. In this case, the
Display Area function of your TV will help minimize the appearance of the bars. For more
information about Wide Mode and Display Area, see the TVs’ Operating Instructions.
How do I mount my TV on the wall?
Mounting the TV on a wall requires that the base stand be removed and that the TV be
attached to the wall with a Sony recommended wall mount bracket. For product
protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that wall-mounting of your TV
be performed by Sony dealers or licensed contractors only. Do not attempt to install it
yourself. See the operating instructions for details.
