They are built to properly handle high bandwidth, uncompressed video and
multi-channel audio—all in one cable.

adapter and separate audio connector.
Connect PC’s audio output when using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) or HD15
connection.
Press PC’s FUNCTION Key + Select Output to transmit to TV.
When using an HD15 connection, adjust TV’s

Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio
High-Definition and Standard-Definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios
(the width-to-height shape of the image). Most HD signals use a widescreen aspect ratio of
16:9. Most SD signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio looks perfect on your
BRAVIA
, but a 4:3 image may need to be adjusted to better fill the wide screen of your
BRAVIA
.
Adjust your TV so boxy 4:3 images are automatically re-configured (zoomed or
stretched) to fit the wide TV screen; OR
Watch SD content in its original, boxy format with wide black bars surrounding the
image to fill in unused space (for example, you may prefer to watch an old classic movie
in its original 4:3 format, not reconfigured for a wide screen).
Press
WIDE
on your remote control. Your TV will display available wide modes for the
current signal. Select the
Wide Mode
setting of your preference.
