In my opinion it would have been better to construct the same base in both directions, even if this would require a larger footprint. In the manual Sony recommends itself with two screws and a rope or a chain to attach an anti-tip device, just are unfortunately both the screw and the rope / chain not included here. Incomprehensible! In children or bigger dogs should come up with something here, the TV should be free. Another drawback of the stand: you can not pivot this Sony TV. He stands on the pedestal so, how to set it.
The installation is very simple and also for laymen really good course. When you first install the unit is provided with a 4-digit pin number that you can choose yourself. After (together digital, analog or both), date & time and of course determines the language has the location, the transmission type, already the auto scanning starts. The transmitter can then sort.
What thereto an "unreasonable" should be such as to express a previous reviewer here, I can not understand for the life. On the contrary, for me it has never been so easy to bring the transmitter in my desired order. No more pushing the arrow keys, but you press on the number pad just the number of the position where the station you would like. Done. Meanwhile you can see the image in the background and knows exactly which station it is.
Then the device is ready for use. Remote control batteries are of course included.
The location of the remote control is in my eyes not quite optimal. Especially the buttons for the volume but could be a bit bigger, so they have to feel better in the dark.
Connections to the Sony Bravia KDL-40R470 (40 inches) offers everything you need as a normal user. Scart, HDMI, cable access, game console and a USB port. In order to reflect the smartphone on the TV is a DLC MB20 Mobile HD Link cable required, which costs around 20 euros. As far as I can see, this is only possible with Android phones, are not currently using the iPhone on the TV itself above the on / off button and a switcher to adjust the volume or the station. Connect to the Internet, whether LAN or WLAN is not possible on the TV itself.
As for image and sound, so I can not complain absolutely. Even in SD the picture is clear, low noise and smooth and very intense color. The sound sonicated effortlessly space without drone or to croak. You can choose between seven different scenes Select (Automatic, General, Music, Movies, Games, Graphics and sports), in order to obtain an optimum picture and sound quality for each shipment. Even fast camera movements during sports are the Sony Bravia without faltering or to blur again. In HD blades of grass and beads of sweat are razor sharp to recognize the fact.
The screen size is adjusted automatically, but you can also itself between Smart (4: 3 shows will be stretched), Normal, 14: 9, Wide, Zoom, or select subtitles. 3D-capable Sony TV that is not.
The Sony Bravia KDL-40R470 is great device for those who do not need a large frills and place especially great importance to have a clear picture and good sound. Who wants to join or control it via Smartphone his TV to the Internet, the need to either make use of external devices or to look for another TV. Anyway, I'm very satisfied with this device!
