NOTIFICATION This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital equipment, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
s Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
s Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
s Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
s Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The shielded interface cable recommended in this manual must be used with this equipment in order to comply with the limits for a digital equipment pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
For customer in Canada This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Safety s Operate the TV only on 110-240 V AC. s Use the AC power cord specified by Sony
and suitable for the voltage where you use it.
s The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
s If you will not be using the TV for several days, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
s For details concerning safety precautions, see Important Safety Instructions on page 3.
Installing s The TV should be installed near an easily
accessible power outlet. s To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings. s Do not install the TV in a hot or humid
place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
s Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41F (5C).
s If the TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color due to moisture condensation. In this case, please wait a few hours to let the moisture evaporate before turning on the TV.

LCD SCREEN s Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and
has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
s The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and to achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this TVs backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a dark ambient without an input source or blank screen. This condition is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode, Backlight setting, or turning on the Power Management will improve this condition.
s To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.
s Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on top of the TV. The images may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.
s If the TV is used in a cold place, smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena improve as the temperature rises.
s Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It should disappear after a few moments.
s The LCD screen and enclosure get warm when the TV is in use. This is not a malfunction.
s Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the LCD screen.

Broken screen panel Do not throw anything at the TV as the impact can cause the LCD screen glass to crack, break or scatter.
s If damage occurs to the LCD panel, small traces of liquid crystal sandwiched between the glass may be found on scattered broken glass.
s Do not touch the broken glass with bare hands. As with any broken glass pieces, avoid skin contact and exposure to your eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these may have an adverse effect on some people. The contacted area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions persist, see your doctor.
s If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch the TV until you have unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result.
SERVICING Do not use the TV if you suspect the TV is damaged or if the TV is damaged.
s Do not attempt to service the TV yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage levels or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
s If replacement parts are required, acquire a written certification from the service technician which states that adequate replacement parts with the same or similar characteristics as the original parts have been used. Unauthorized substitutions may result in a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check s Upon completion of any TV servicing or
repair, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks as specified by Sony and to certify that the TV is safe to operate. Have a qualified service technician dispose of the TV if it is not safe to operate.

Welcome to the World of Thank you for purchasing this Sony LCD Digital Color Television. This manual is for model KDL-22L4000. Be sure to check the supplied accessories against the list on page 41.
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.
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.
You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 24, 29 and 30).
16:9 (high-definition) source Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio of 16:9. The 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.

Cable System and VHF/UHF Antenna System
Use an optional A-B RF switch (not supplied) to switch between the cable and over-the-air antenna programming, as indicated below.
This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).
