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 INPUT to display the input selection menu as shown below. You can use both INPUT or /to toggle through the list.

Customize Sound and Picture Quality

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

■Press HOME on your remote control to display the XMB™ and select Picture or Sound from the Settings menu. Choose the appropriate setting for your content.

■Use the OPTIONS button to quickly access Picture Adjustments and Sound Adjustments.

■Refer to your Operating Instructions Manual for more information.
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 may need to be adjusted to better fill the wide screen of your

BRAVIA.

■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 WIDE on your remote control. Your TV will display available wide modes for the current signal. Select the Wide Mode setting of your preference.
