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

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
Follow the assembling steps required to place on a
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

property and avoid causing serious injury.
Table-Top
Stand
TV Unit
• Before carrying the TV, disconnect all cables.
• Carrying the large size TV requires two or more
people.
• When carrying the TV, place your hand as
illustrated and hold it securely. Do not subject the
TV to shocks, vibration, or excessive force.
2
3
Place the Table-Top Stand on a level and
stable surface.
Gently slide the TV unit onto the neck of the
Table-Top Stand and align the screw holes.
• Lift the TV by placing your palm directly
underneath the panel but do not:
• squeeze the speaker grill area
• place your fingers in the groove above the
speaker grill area
• put stress on the LCD panel.
~
• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame
around the screen.
• Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power
cord when you install the TV unit to the Table-Top
Stand.
• Do not lift the TV from the bottom center.
4
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).
If an electric
screwdriver is used, set
the torque to tighten at
approximately 1.5 N·m,
15 Kgf·cm.
6
Follow the simple steps below to remove the
Table-Top Stand:
Preparation for Wall-Mount Bracket
All models are ready to be mounted on a wall.
Models KDL-52V4100 and KDL-52W4100 will
require detaching 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
• For bracket installation, refer to the supplied
“Installing the Wall-Mount Bracket” and the
instruction guide provided by the Wall-Mount
Bracket model for your TV. Sufficient expertise
is required in installing this TV, especially to
determine the strength of the wall for

withstanding the TV’s weight.
• Be sure to use the screws supplied with the
Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the
mounting hooks to the TV set.
The supplied 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.

• 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).

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.
