Welcome to the World of BRAVIA®
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 HD compatible external equipment
Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.

The Four Steps to a 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
connect other optional equipment.
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.
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.
16:9 (high-definition) source
Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio
of 16:9. The 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.
~
• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 22, 35
and 36).

Your BRAVIA TV is ENERGY STAR qualified. It meets strict energy efficiency
guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of
Energy. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of these government agencies,
designed to promote energy efficient products and practices.
• When the TV is initially set up, it is designed to meet ENERGY STAR requirements.
• Changes to certain features, settings, and functionalities of this TV (i.e. TV Guide,
Picture/Sound, Light Sensor, Power Savings) can slightly change the power
consumption.
Depending upon such changed settings, the power consumption may increase which possibly
could exceed the limits required for ENERGY STAR qualification.

• This manual is for the 32 class, 37, 40, 42, 46 and 52 inch BRAVIA KDL-XBR6, V and W series models with
screen size measured diagonally. The 32 class has a 31.5 inch viewable image size (measured diagonally).

Getting Started
1. Installing the TV
This TV can be mounted on a wall using a Wall-
Mount Bracket or placed on a TV stand (each sold
separately). This section will explain:
Preparation for Table-Top Stand

TV stand (except models: KDL-52V4100 and
KDL-52W4100).
• How to carry the TV
• Preparation for a Table-Top stand
• Preparation for a Wall-Mount Bracket
• Installation against a wall or enclosed area
• Bundling the connecting cables
• Securing the TV

Remove the Table-Top Stand and screws from
the carton. The screws can be found in the
accessory bag.
For product protection and safety reasons,
Sony strongly recommends that you use the
screws provided with the TV.
Carrying the TV

Use the supplied screws to attach the TV unit
to the Table-Top Stand. Shown here with a
three screw model; other models may require
screwing four screws (refer to the “Attaching
the Table-Top Stand” flyer).
• Models KDL-32/37XBR6, KDL-40V4150,
KDL-40/42/46V4100, KDL-40/46W4100 and
KDL-46W4150 can be wall-mounted as
packaged. If you decided to use the TV with the
TV stand and later want to wall-mount the TV,
follow the steps provided on this page to remove
the Table-Top Stand.
If an electric
screwdriver is used, set
the torque to tighten at
approximately 1.5 N·m,
15 Kgf·cm.
• Be sure to store the unused screws and Table-Top
Stand in a safe place until you are ready to attach
the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from
small children.
Preparation for Wall-Mount Bracket
For details on how to use the Wall-Mount Bracket
compatible with your model, visit
Or call 1-800-488-7669 (for United States)
1-877-899-7669 (for Canada)
All models are ready to be mounted on a wall.
Models KDL-52V4100 and KDL-52W4100 will
require detaching the Table-Top stand.
• For product protection and safety reasons,
Sony strongly recommends that you use the
Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your
TV and the wall-mounting of your TV should
be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed
contractor.
Follow the simple steps below to remove the
Table-Top Stand:
1
Unplug the AC power cord and disconnect all
the cables from the TV.
2
Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the
TV.
• Sufficient expertise is required in installing this
TV, especially to determine the strength of the
wall for withstanding the TV’s weight.
3
4
Adjust the angle of the Mounting Hook.
Remove the screws on the rear of the TV (see
illustration in the next column). Do not
remove any other screws from the TV.
• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the
Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the
mounting hooks to the TV set.
5
When screws are removed, lift the TV off the
stand. Make sure that you carry out this task
with at least two or three people. Do not
attempt to lift the TV by yourself.
The supplied M6 screws are designed so that they
are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when measured
from the attaching surface of the mounting hook.
The diameter and length of the screws differ
depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model.
Use of screws other than those supplied may
result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it
to fall, etc.
• Shown here is model KDL-52V4100; other
models may only require removal of three screws
(refer to the “Attaching the Table-Top Stand”
flyer).

• When moving the TV from a cold area to a
warm area, a sudden room temperature change
may cause the TV’s picture to blur or show
poor color due to moisture condensation.
Should this occur, please wait a few hours to
allow the moisture to evaporate before
powering on the TV.
When Installing the TV Against a Wall
or Enclosed Area
Make sure that your TV has adequate air
circulation. Allow enough space around the TV as
shown below. Avoid operating the TV at
temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C).

Consider the following for best picture
quality
• Do not expose the screen to direct illumination

• Rope or chain (strong enough to support the
weight of the TV). Make sure that there is no
excess slack in the rope or chain.
Securing the TV
Sony strongly recommends taking
measures to prevent the TV from toppling
over. Unsecured TVs may topple and
result in property damage, serious bodily
injury or even death.
An alternative way to secure the TV is with an
optional Sony Support Belt Kit.

If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider
the following recommended measures.
Recommended Measures to Secure the TV
Anchor bolts
Secure the Stand for the TV
Make sure the TV stand can adequately support
the weight of the TV. Use two angle braces (not
supplied) to secure the stand.
For each angle brace use the appropriate hardware
to:
Rope or
Wall-mount

• Securing the TV to the stand without securing it and
the stand to the wall provides minimum protection
against the TV toppling over. For further protection,
