Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come
in contact with such power lines or circuits.
8) Do not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT
WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section
54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

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 external equipment
Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.
To learn more about HDTV, visit: http://www.sony.com/HDTV
The Four Steps to 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. The 1080 HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the
standard TV signal.
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 widescreen aspect ratio of
16:9. 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 23, 35
