Remote Control

The Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR9 is similar to remotes we've seen from other Sony HDTVs.

The KDL-52XBR9's remote is a bit long, but fits comfortably in the hand.

In The Box (6.0)

You get the usual selection of acessories in the box with the KDL-52XBR9: the remote, two manuals (a quick start guide and the operation guide), plus a handful of other bits of paperwork. Missing, though, is a HDMI cable.

Aesthetics (7.0)

The KDL52XBR9 has a clean, understated look. Our only real complaint is the three indicator lights in the bottom right corner, which are  somewhat distracting.
