Overview
Welcome to the World of OLED TV
Thank you for purchasing this Sony XEL-1. This television is equipped with an organic light-
emitting diode (OLED) display panel that produces superb picture quality. This technology brings
a multitude of benefits to this television. Experience the beautiful images that OLED offers!
What is OLED?
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel includes organic materials that emit light
when an electric current is passed through them. The strength of luminescence is controlled
by the amount of electric current.
Benefits of OLED
High Brightness
The self-emitting nature of the OLED display
panel allows for more efficient light output,
creating bright and vivid images.
High Contrast Ratio
In addition to the bright and vivid images
produced by the OLED display panel, black
level is created by completely stopping light
emission. This allows the panel to achieve a
uniquely high level of contrast.
Vivid Color Reproduction
OLED display panels use separate organic
layers to produce red, green, and blue light,
which are filtered to achieve greater color
purity. As a result, each color is vividly and
clearly reproduced.
Quick Response Time
Light from the OLED display panel is emitted
instantly when electricity is supplied,
enabling the OLED very fast response time.

Protecting the TV Screen
Precautions to Protect the
Screen from Damage
Prolonged display of still images over time may
cause permanent image retention (image burn).
Avoid displaying images that cause image burn
and take the following measures to protect the
screen.
~
• Auto Brightness Control adjusts the brightness of
the image automatically when highly contrasting
images are displayed on the screen for a long period of
• This TV has a function to reduce the risk of image
retention by slightly shifting the picture position on the
display automatically after a set time has elapsed.
Image Retention
Screen Saver
Due to the characteristics of the material used in
an OLED screen for its high-precision image,
permanent image retention may occur if still
images are displayed in the same position on the
screen continuously, or repeatedly over extended
periods.
If still or motionless images are displayed and no
operation is performed (such as switching the
channels or adjusting the volume control) for more
than 5 minutes, the screen saver starts
automatically. It protects the screen from image
burn damage and reduces power consumption.
Images that may cause image retention
Under the following conditions the XEL-1
screen saver may appear:
•
wide screen sources with black bars at the
top and bottom (Letterboxed Image)
•
•
•
a photo from Memory Stick
•
4:3 screen sources with black bars at the
left and right
thumbnails of photos from Memory Stick
a music file with an image from Memory
Stick
•
•
•
non-moving images such as photo
game sources
•
some settings screens
on-screen tickers, such as those used for
news and headlines.
Press V/v/B/b,
or VOL +/- to return to the
previously viewed images, or just press another
button(s) to operate another function(s).
•
on-screen menus, program guides, channel
numbers, etc., of connected equipment
such as a set-top box, video recorder, disc
player, etc.
The screen will gradually fade to dark
If no operation is performed (such as switching the
channels or adjusting the volume control) for more
than 5 minutes, the screen fades to dark gradually.
Press HOME or OPTIONS to deactivate the
screen saver.
To reduce the risk of image burn
