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.  
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.  
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection  
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  
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 full 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  
connections (see page 17). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to  
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 wide screen aspect ratio  
of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen and  
maintains 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 26, 40  
and 42).

Sony strongly recommends using the TV stand  
SU-RS52U.  
To secure the TV, use the two shafts and two  
screws that were securing the Table-Top Stand.  
Fasten the two shafts first, and then fasten the two  
screws.  
When moving the TV, hold it as shown in the  
illustration below.  
When lifting the rear and side, place the hands in  
the holes on the lower portion of the cabinet.  
Two persons should lift and support from the front,

Replacing the Lamp  
How to Replace the Lamp  
The projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually  
lose brightness and functionality, which affects the  
overall performance of your TV. How long the  
lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending  
upon your usage and environmental conditions. To  
maintain the quality of your viewing experience,  
Sony recommends that you replace the lamp (1)  
after approximately 8,000 hours of use; (2) when  
the screen becomes dark or the color looks  
1
Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait  
several minutes, then unplug the power cord.  
(The cooling fan will continue to operate for  
about two minutes after turning the power  
off.)  
2
Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the  
power cord to allow the lamp to cool down  
before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do  
not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp  
has been removed.  
unusual; (3) when the LAMP LED on the front of  
the TV blinks; or (4) when the lamp replacement  
message appears on the TV screen.  
3
Take the new lamp out of the box.  
Do not touch the glass portion of the new  
lamp.  
WARNING  
Electric appliances can cause fire or high  
temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be  
sure to follow the instructions below.  
~
• Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp  
or shorten its life.  
• Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the  
glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture  
quality or lamp life.  
s
s
s
Use a Sony XL-5200 replacement lamp (not  
supplied) for replacement. Use of any other  
lamp may damage the TV.  
4
Remove the outside lamp cover on the right  
side rear of the TV.  
Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other  
than replacement. Doing so may cause injury  
or fire.  
Turn the screw counterclockwise and release  
the two clamps as shown in the illustration  
below.  
Do not put flammable materials and metal  
objects inside the lamp receptacle of the TV  
after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause  
fire or electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp  
receptacle once the lamp has been removed.  
s
s
When the lamp eventually burns out, you may  
hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal  
and it is inherent to this type of lamp.  
In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the  
lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to  
contain all of the broken glass pieces inside  
the lamp unit.  
s
This TV’s lamp contains mercury and should  
be disposed of properly. Consult your local  
authorities regarding safe disposal. The  
material contained in this lamp is similar to  
those of a fluorescent lamp, so you should

• There may be more than one code for the equipment that you are attempting to  
operate.  
• There is a possibility that some non-Sony equipment cannot be operated by  
your Sony TV remote control. You may need to use the equipment’s original  
remote control.  
Some digital cable channels

Condition  
Explanation/Solution  
Green tint or uneven color  
• After turning on the TV, you may notice a green tint or slight variation in color  
and brightness in certain areas of the picture. This will last only a few minutes  
(possibly longer, in cooler rooms or conditions) while circuits within the TV  
continually fine tune the color during the warm-up period. This is a normal  
temperature characteristic of the components and not a malfunction.  
uniformity appears on the  
screen when the TV is  
powered on  
White spot on the screen  
when powered off  
• If screen is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ambient light, part of the screen  
may appear white even when TV is power off. This is due to the strong light  
reflecting off the TV screen and reflections coming from behind the screen.  
This is a structural property of the projection TV and is not a defect.  
• Position your TV away from such light sources.
