    Introducing Your New BRAVIA
    ®
    The Four Steps to a Stunning HD Experience
    Set, Source, Sound, and Setup
    Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires a source of HD 
    programming, an HD sound system, and a proper connection setup. Refer to the Quick 
    Setup Guide, enclosed separately, for connecting optional equipment.
    TV Feature Highlights
    Yo u r  BRAVIA comes with many convenient features, such as:
    ➢ BRAVIA
    ® SyncTM: Allows your BRAVIA TV to communicate with other Sony 
    equipment supporting the Control for HDMI function (page 23).
    ➢ Digital Media Accessibility: Use the Photo, Music, and Video icons to 
    access photo, music, and video files from Sony USB equipment (page 27).
    ➢ PIP (Picture in Picture): You can work on your PC and watch your favorite TV 
    program simultaneously (page 24).
    ➢ Favorites: Your favorite channels and inputs are at your finger tips for easy 
    access (page 25).
    ➢ Auto Wide Mode: Set your TV to automatically adjust the screen based on the 
    signal resolution (page 25).
    ➢ Input Selection: Allows you to easily switch between the connected equipment 
    (page 26).
    ➢ Scene Select: Allows you to easily adjust your TV to the most suitable picture 
    and sound settings based on the scenes for the best quality result for the 
    contents genre you are watching (page 20).
    You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth 
    movement, and high-impact visuals from 
    1080 HD signals as shown here. 
    When you compare a high-definition signal 
    to a standard analog signal, you will notice 
    a big difference in picture quality. If black 
    bars appear as shown here, press WIDE 
    on the remote control to fill the screen.

    Getting Started
    Setting Up Your TV
    Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a 
    wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top 
    Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for 
    the attachment instructions provided with the TV.
    Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:
     Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.
     Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
     Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid 
    damage.
     Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 14.
     For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
     Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.
     Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may 
    cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. 
    Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.
