Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color TV. This manual is c_

for models KDL-40XBR2, KDL-46XBR2, KDL-40XBR3 and _._

Connecting the TV

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and

select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect

ratio (see "Changing the Wide Screen Mode" on page 24). It is strongly

recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using the supplied

75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm

twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in

signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far

away from the TV as possible.

You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page

16). For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the separate Quick

Setup Guide.
