width-to-height definition TV.

and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standard-

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.

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:

???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

Be sure to follow these guidelines to protect your property and avoid causing serious injury.

???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.

Follow the assembling steps required to place on a TV stand (except models: KDL-52V4100 and KDL-52W4100).

???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.

4Use 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.

???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.

???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.

8-12 mm

???Do not remove the Table-Top Stand of the KDL-52V4100 and KDL-52W4100 for any reason other than to wall-mount the TV.

???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.

???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.

Follow the simple steps below to remove the Table-Top Stand:

1Unplug the AC power cord and disconnect all the cables from the TV.

2Secure the Mounting Hook to the rear of the TV.

3Adjust the angle of the Mounting Hook.

4Remove the screws on the rear of the TV (see illustration in the next column). Do not remove any other screws from the TV.

5When 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.

???Shown here is model KDL-52V4100; other models may only require removal of three screws (refer to the "Attaching the Table-Top Stand" flyer).

(Continued)

///_ 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.

Prevent the TV from Toppling Over

[] Secure tile TV to a wail and/or stand.

[] Do not allow children to play or climb on furniture and TV sets.

[] Avoid placing or hanging items on the TV. [] Never install the TV on:

???slippery, unstable and/or uneven surfaces.

???furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

[] Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed, or knocked over.

[] Route all AC power cords and connecting

cables so that they are not accessible to curious children.

Use a Sony TV Stand

Use a Sony specified TV stand (see page 2) and

follow the instruction manual provided with the

Sony TV stand.

If a Sony specified TV stand is not used, consider the following recommended measures.

Recommended Measures to Secure the TV

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:

???attach one side of the angle brace to the wall stud.

???attach the other side to the TV stand.

Angle brace

Stand

Secure the TV to the Stand

Use the optional hardware listed below (not supplied):

???M6 x 12-18 mm anchor bolt (screwed into the TV's Table-Top Stand)

???A screw or similar (attach it to the TV stand)

???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.

Screw hole on the

Table-Top Stand

Contact Sony Customer Support to obtain the optional Support Belt Kit by providing your TV model name.

???For United States call: 1-800-488-7669 or visit: www.sony.com/accessories

???For Canada call: 1-877-899-7669

Anchor the TV to the Wall

Use the hardware listed below (not supplied):

???Two M6 x 12-18 mm anchor bolts (screw into the top-most wall-mount holes located on the rear of the TV)

???Rope or chain (attach to one M6 anchor bolt)

???Wall-anchor (attach to the wall stud) strong enough to support the weight of the TV (pass the rope through the wall-anchor, then attach to the other M6 anchor bolt)

Anchor bolts

???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, follow all three measures recommended above.

3. Connecting the TV

You can enjoy high-definition and standard- definition digital programming (if available in your area) along with standard-definition analog programming.

???This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).

???It is strongly recommended that you connect the CABLE/ANTENNA input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio frequency interference, resulting in signal degradation.

You can enjoy high-definition programming by subscribing to a high-definition cable service or a high-definition satellite service. For the best possible picture, make sure you connect this equipment to your TV via the HDMI or

component video (with audio) input on the back of your TV.

How to reset the TV to factory settings

???You have selected a text option and no text is available (see page 38). To turn off this feature, set the CC Display option to Oil. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4.

details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more program provider).

???Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the screen.
