Make sure your remote control is functioning correctly by first removing and reinserting its batteries. Turn the remote control upside down onto its face. Remove the battery cover by pushing it down with your thumbs. Pull the batteries out and replace them with new ones. Line up the battery polarity with the indicators printed in the battery chamber.

Check your wiring to ensure a smooth connection and proper playback to your television. Connect the supplied coaxial cable to the back of your television (to the connector on the right side) and connect the other end into your antenna (the connector located on your wall). Plug the small end of the power cord into the compartment (located on the bottom center of the back of the TV), and the other end into a wall outlet. Check both cords for tears or damage. Turn the TV on to make sure you're getting a picture.

Automatically tune all the channels you receive with the remote control. Pull up the menu and enter the "Setup" process. After selecting your language and country, your Bravia will automatically go into "Auto-tuning" mode. Select "OK" using the keys on the remote control to start "Auto-tuning." The TV will start searching for all the channels available, which might take a few minutes.

Test the channels on your remote control by pointing the remote at the sensor (on the front of the television) and pushing the "Channel Up" or "Channel Down" buttons. Your channels should change successfully. If not, try moving the remote control closer to the television and make sure you aren't under extreme fluorescent lighting, both of which can cause communication problems between the TV and remote control.
