FAQs

What else might I need to get going?

You'll need a cable to connect your BRAVIA home cinema system to your television. A basic one is supplied, but where possible, we recommend a HDMI cable for high quality transfer of all audio and video.

How do I achieve the optimum screen size and picture quality?

To get the best picture, keep your BRAVIA television out of direct sunlight and avoid reflections. For further advice, consult your dealer for the correct television size, distance and optimisation options.

Do I need more space for an LCD TV?

The latest BRAVIA flat screen television technology is thinner than conventional models with “more screen and less box”. This means you can probably fit a bigger screen size into the same space your old television used to occupy. Simple!

My room is an odd shape, how will this affect the BRAVIA Theatre cinema sound?

Use our Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) system to get the ideal set-up for your BRAVIA Theatre home cinema according to the type of room it’s installed in. Sony DCAC will adjust the speakers automatically by cleverly sensing the position of the speakers in the room. The whole process takes less than a minute.

Are Sony BRAVIA Theatre products energy efficient?

Sony is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions which is why we received a Sustainable Energy Europe Award for our excellent results in maximising the energy efficiency of our products.

A BRAVIA TV uses as little as 0.3 watts in standby mode and all BRAVIA Theatre products have highly efficient standby power consumption. But to help save even more energy, we still recommend that you turn your products off when not in use, rather than using the standby button.

How do I get the best from my speaker set-up?

Careful speaker positioning will help give the best possible sound experience. Give your front speakers some space and face them towards the main chair at an equal distance.

The centre speaker, which produces most of the dialogue from movies, should be directly above or below the TV screen. The rear speakers should be slightly behind you or at least level with your chair.

Speakers sound best on a firm base. Use speaker stands or wall mounts to enhance the sound experience and don’t put small speakers too high up in a room with a high ceiling. A subwoofer can go pretty much anywhere.

I am planning to re-decorate, what can I do to get the most from my BRAVIA Theatre system?

Plan for your entertainment needs if you’re re-decorating by thinking about where the speakers will go. You can build plastic conduit tubing into the plaster so that cables can be hidden completely out of sight.

Remember to be careful when drilling into walls and ensure all mains electrical work is done by a qualified person.

I’m worried the subwoofer will disturb my neighbours, what can I do?

If you like it loud, but don’t want to upset the neighbours, move the subwoofer away from your walls. Some of our home cinemas come with a Night Mode which automatically adjusts the sound. It increases the dialogue volume but keeps heavy bass tones low.

You can also manually change the audio levels to help optimise the sound even more. Better still – just invite them all over to watch the film with you!

How can I find my nearest dealer?
