The Four Steps to a Stunning HD Experience
Set, Source, Sound, and Setup
Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires a source of HD programming, an HD sound system, and a proper connection setup. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, for connecting optional equipment. You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement, and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD signals as shown here. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference in picture quality. If black bars appear as shown here, press WIDE on the remote control to fill the screen.

Explanation/Solution

Poor picture

Picture quality not as good Picture quality depends on the signal content. See Quick Setup Guide as viewed at the store (supplied) to display the best possible picture for that signal. Broadcast HD formats have Content and signal quality are regulated by the signal provider. Many HD poor quality channels and content are actually upscaled versions of standarddefinition broadcasts. The picture is affected by the quality of the signal received, which varies between channel and program. Double images or ghosts Check cable/antenna connections. Check the antenna location and direction. Only snow and noise appear Check if the antenna is broken or bent. on the screen Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable life. (3-5 years in normal use, 1-2 years at the seaside.) Dotted lines or stripes Keep the TV away from noise sources such as cars, motorcycles, or hairdryers. If using 300 ohm twin lead, move the excess lead away from the TV or try using 75-ohm coaxial cable instead. No color / Dark picture / Adjust the Picture Mode options in the Picture settings (see page 31). Color is not correct / The If you set the Power Saving mode to Low or High, it will enhance the picture is too bright black level. Noisy picture Make sure that the antenna is connected using a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied). Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting cords. To avoid TV interference, make sure to use an undamaged antenna cable. Blurry picture / Poor color Transporting the TV from a cold to a warm location or a sudden change in room temperature may cause moisture condensation, resulting in a blurry picture or poor color. Turn off your TV and wait a few hours before powering on again.

Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9 (this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD/Blu-ray (or contact your program provider). Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the screen. Programs broadcast in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content will commonly have black bands on the left and right sides of the screen which are added by the broadcaster (see image on left). Auto Wide will not expand the picture when the black bands on the sides of the screen are added by the broadcaster. You can manually change the Wide Mode to Wide Zoom, or Zoom to fill the screen, which will remain in affect until you change the channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again. This is due to the digital compression of the source content used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs which may cause your TVs screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. These signal compressions are more visible and are dependent on the clarity and resolution of the TV.
