Select Your Content Source

Whether you are watching cable, satellite or broadcast TV; playing a VCR, DVD or 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 Applications menu, then select External Inputs and will appear the list of 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).

￿Press the button on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting of your preference.

￿Visit www.learningcenter.sony.us/HomeAudioandVideo/Televisions/Research1/ TheBasicsofDTV for more information.

Customize Sound and Picture Quality

You can choose optimum sound and picture settings to match the content you are displaying on your TV:

￿Press the button on your remote control and select Picture or Sound menu, then choose the appropriate setting for your content.

￿Use the remote control button to quickly adjust picture quality.

￿Refer to your BRAVIA™ Operating Instruction Manual for more information.
