processor from Sony. It uses a collection of enhanced algorithms to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images.
Live Color Creation technology w/ WCG-CCFL backlight Live Color Creation technology works
with the BRAVIA XBR9-Series' WCG-CCFL (Wide Color Gamut - Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight to achieve wide color reproduction for more natural and vibrant colors. The technology combines advanced chroma signal processing with enhanced filters and purer light to reproduce 105 percent of the NTSC (National Television System Committee) color standard. This means deeper reds and greens with overall color that's truer and more life-like.

Welcome to the World of BRAVIA HDTV
Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA high-definition television. Use the documentation listed below to get the most out of your TV. Safety Booklet Provides precautionary measures to keep you and your TV safe. Read this information prior to setting up your TV. Operating Instructions Provides general TV operation information. Quick Setup Guide Provides TV setup information, illustrates sample optional equipment connection diagrams, and highlights TV features.

The TV operation information above has been designed in an eco-friendly manner to reduce the consumption of natural resources.
Experiencing Stunning HD with Your BRAVIA TV
To experience the stunning detail of your new BRAVIA TV, you need access to high-definition (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, satellite or HD service provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.
The Four Steps to a Full 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 other 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 definition 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.

Read the supplied Safety Booklet for additional safety information. When cable connection is completed, be sure to secure the TV to a stable surface or mount it to a wall. The designated Sony wall-mount bracket model and TV stand model name(s) are available under the Other Information section of Operating Instructions. For details on securing the TV, see page 16.
Using a Wall-Mount Bracket
All models except the 52 inch (measured diagonally) model can be mounted to a wall using the Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied) out of the box as packaged. If you are mounting the 52 inch model to a wall, remove the Table-Top Stand. For removing the Table-Top Stand, refer to the instructions attached to the TV.
Prepare the TV for the Wall-Mount Bracket before making cable connections. Sony strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount Bracket model designed for your TV (see page 45) and that wall-mounting of your TV should be performed by a Sony dealer or licensed contractor. Follow the instruction guide provided with the Wall-Mount Bracket for your model. You may also need to refer to the online Reference Book for additional information for your TV model. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the TVs weight. Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the mounting hooks to the TV set. (Do not use the screws that are intended for the Table-Top Stand attachment.) 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 with the bracket may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

How to Care for Your BRAVIA
Safety is very important, please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet) separately provided. Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the wall outlet before you begin cleaning your TV. Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package. Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning. Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture from cleaning has evaporated. The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see page 16 and 17). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to insure the TV is securely fastened.

Troubleshooting

Many problems with picture and sound quality are related to improper cable connection; refer to the Quick Setup Guide provided for sample connections.

You may have accidentally pressed the MUTING button on your remote control; press MUTING again or press VOL + to deactivate muting. The remote control may be installed incorrectly or may be low. An object or fluorescent light may be interfering with the remote controls operation. To reset the TV to factory default settings: 1 Turn on the TV. 2 While pressing V on the Remote Control, press POWER on the TV. (The TV will turn itself off, then back on again.)
