injury may be caused. Be sure to follow the

instructions mentioned below.

s Carry the TV with the specified number of persons (see page 8).

s Hold the TV tightly when carrying it.

s Before carrying the TV, disconnect any accessories or cables.

About the TV

Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may

appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly

on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a defect.

Installation

s If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen,

part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind the

screen. This is a structural property of the TV.

Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.

s The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For the

best picture quality, install your TV according to “Recommended

Viewing Area” on page 9.

s When installing your TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10

cm) away from the wall.

Projection Lamp

s Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace

the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:

• the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please

replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen,

• the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,

• screen images become dark,

• no image appears on the display after prolonged use.

s In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp

unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp

unit. (See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 43.)

s When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop

sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.

Cooling Fans

Welcome to the World of BRAVIA™

The Four Steps to Full 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 13). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to

connect other optional equipment.

Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA™ 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

Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio

You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD

signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice

a big difference. The 1080 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, 35

and 36).

16:9 (high-definition) source

Most HDTV signals use a widescreen aspect ratio o

16:9. 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen, maintaining 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 may not be as sharp as with HD

sources.

Getting Started

Your viewing position may affect the picture

quality.

For the best picture quality, install your TV within

the areas shown below.

To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a

special coating.

Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the

screen surface. Special care is required.

Cleaning the Screen Surface

Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture

sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 5

for stubborn stains and dirt.

Temporary Image Retention

When high contrast non-moving images such as

station logos and channel numbers are displayed

for a long period of time, there may be some image

retention on the screen. This is only a temporary

condition. Turning off the power for a while or

letting the TV run on another channel will

eliminate the image retention.

Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source.

As with any lamp, it has a lifespan and needs to be

replaced when the Lamp Indicator flashes or the

screen becomes darker. Your TV also has a

function to display a message, “Projection lamp is

nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” to let

you know that the lamp has reached its expected

lifespan. Note the following:

s After turning on your TV, it may take a while

(one minute or less) before the picture

appears.

s When the projection lamp wears out, the

screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a

new Sony XL-2500 replacement lamp (not

supplied).

s After lamp is replaced, please set the Lamp

Replacement option in the General

settings (see page 42).

“How to Replace the Lamp”, see page 43.

• The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when

your TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury,

do not look into the light housing when the power is

on.
