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 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.

Select Your Content Source
Whether you are watching cable, satellite or broadcast TV; playing a VCR, DVD or
button on your
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

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).
