Thank you for purchasing this Sony
™
high-definition television. The quality of the image you see
on your BRAVIA TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience the stunning detail
of your new BRAVIA TV, you need access to HD programming. Your BRAVIA TV can receive and display HD
programming from:
• Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna
• HD cable subscription
• HD satellite subscription
• Blu-ray Disc™ player or other external equipment
Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.
To learn more about HDTV, visit: http://www.sony.com/HDTV
The Four Steps to 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
programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup connections (see page 16).
The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to connect other optional equipment.
Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio
You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080i HD signals. When
you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference. The 1080i
HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the standard TV signal.
High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the width-to-height
ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standard-definition TV.
~
• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 23 and 29).
• This TV supports signals up to 1080i.
16:9 (high-definition) source
Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio of
16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen and maintains
a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
4:3 (standard-definition) source
Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect
ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an HDTV, you
will see black bars on the sides. The picture quality ma
y
not be as sharp as with HD sources.

3. Connecting the TV
Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
• It is strongly recommended that you connect the
antenna/cable input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not
supplied) to receive optimum picture quality. A
300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio
frequency interference, resulting in signal degradation.
Cable and VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
If you want to watch both cable and antenna (over-
the-air) programming, you will need to use an
optional A-B RF Switch (not supplied) to switch
between the cable and over-the air antenna
programming, as shown.
You can also enjoy high definition programming by
subscribing to high definition cable service or high
definition satellite service. For the best possible
picture, connect these components to your TV via the
HDMI or component video (with audio) input on the
back of your TV.
Cable system and/or VHF/UHF
• Be sure to set Cable setting to Cable On or Cable
Off in Channel menu for the type of input signal you
choose (see page 30 for more details.).
