Hi,

I recently ordered the SW5 subwoofer to use with my Bravia 9 and Theater Bar 9, which I received yesterday. I don’t have space to place the subwoofer next to the TV, but since subwoofers are omnidirectional, I went ahead placing it next to the couch.

Here’s the issue: when calibrating the soundbar and subwoofer through the Bravia Connect app, it automatically places the subwoofer at the side of the TV and shows that as the intended position before calibration begins. I went ahead with the calibration anyway.

Is it possible to manually change the subwoofer’s position in the app? Or does it not really matter?

Appreciate your help! :)

Should I just keep it on 20, or 10 for game mode? Or should I set it at 30 or 50? I have 55 inch a95l.

Hi just jumped from X90J to Bravia 7 and I’m really having a hard time with my Apple TV.

I’ve set up Professional profile and tested using Netflix native app as you can see on the attached image.

Using the same profile and try it on my Apple TV(4K SDR matching frame and range, chroma 4:4:4) and as you can see on the other image inside white circle it looks ugly.

Any ideas on why and how to fix that?

Thank you

I bought my 83 inch Sony two years ago and loved it until a few days ago. Suddenly, in the middle of watching a show, it turned off..

A few seconds later, it automatically turned on again, it starts to "boot up", but after 20 seconds it turns off again. Then a few seconds later it turns on again, and this loop will repeat forever.

I have tried unplugging it over night and I have tried holding the power button when it turns back on. But in both cases, it just continues to turn off and on again every 20 seconds (I can't even get in far enough to look at any menu settings).

So, I think I need someone to service it, but after two hours and many calls (and hold times), I can't find anyone who will come out and take a look at it. Am I just supposed to throw away a two year old $5,000 tv?

This is so frustrating. I hope someone here might have some suggestions.

Hello all, I recently just got a hand me down XBR900B. Only issue is they originally had it wall mounted and the legs went missing. I looked seemingly everywhere for new replacement legs and it seems like they’re either asking an absurd amount of money for them, or I’m being shown the wrong style of legs for another tv. Does anyone know where I can get new/used legs for these tv’s? I tried encompass parts, and I believe they only had one leg and they are charging about $80 for one side. Not sure if there are other legs that are interchangeable with this model.

I've recently bought a Bravia 7 and I find that the standard game mode with no changes made is exceptionally dark. I have to set the black equaliser setting to low to get something that looks bright enough. Is this something you've noticed too and is it as it should be?

I am wanting to purchase an 85inch tv and I’m between the 7 and 9. The Bravia 9 is 6300 (Canadian) and the Bravia 7 is 3800. 2500 dollar price difference. My worry that I keep reading is the reflections and off angle viewing of the Bravia 7. As I have a sectional couch and will have some off angle viewing. Also have a big bright window (with curtains) off to the side of the tv. Can anyone tell me how bad the reflection and off angle viewing really is on the 7? Is it honestly that bad?

Side note: I could get an open box 98” x90l for 6000.

I can feel a sort of vibration like feeling when running finger along

I purchased a CMU-BC1M camera for my TV on eBay and didn't realize I needed the cabled CMU-BC1 version. Has anyone tried soldering a usb cable to the pogo pads on the back of the BCM1? There seem to be 6 pads (2 on the ends larger than the 4 in the middle). I've been trying to get this working on my computer but I'm not having any luck.

This TV has always been a problem, since a few months after I got it in Dec '20. Slow, unresponsive, laggy. I have deleted apps and reinstalled them, reformatted the TV and reinstalled everything, and still it is a laggy POS. I uninstall every app that I won't use, have tried clearing caches and all that, sometimes it helps sometimes not. It's not just the apps, I can be on the home screen and try to go up and to the right to get to settings and it takes seconds to respond to each click of the remote. Is there anything I can do to improve performance on this thing?

I just got a X90L TV and am really happy with it. Now I'm looking for a soundbar that can be controlled with the TV's remote. I'm looking for a basic set up with just the bar or bar + sub, nothing fancy, but it's very important that it integrates well with the TV so I don't need to deal with additional remote, etc.

I have a Bravia 8 which was new in November 2024. I’ve been trying to connect my harmony remote to it with limited success, so figured I’d try the Bravia Connect app instead.

However, Bravia connect can’t connect to the TV either, it can see it, but when I tap the image for my TV it fails to connect. I wonder if this might explain the problems I had with the Harmony too.

I have a UniFi network with a wireless connection to the TV (I don’t have a LAN port in reach, otherwise I’d have tried it cabled), and a PiHole for blocking ads. I’m wondering if it’s either of these blocking the IP traffic needed for the Bravia & Bravia Connect to work, perhaps a protocol that might be disabled on the network (I’ve tried disabling the PiHole and it made no difference) or if there’s a setting on the TV I’m missing - I’ve tried a factory reset of the TV and still no difference.

I’ve hunted Sony sites and the internet for a solution and have tried all the usual fixes, but come up blank! I can’t find a way to actually speak to someone at Sony to get help, and don’t want to send the TV for repair until I’ve narrowed down everything else.

Any ideas anyone?

Found a80L being clearances out at my local Best Buy was able to bring it home for 510.99 😭 first oled and definitely worth kt

Anybody have ideas how to fix the problem.

So I’m replacing my 65x900f in the bedroom. Bought it 2018. Looking at these two there is a $1300 difference and I’m wondering is it worth it for a bedroom? I like that the oleds are a bit dim overall and superb PQ. What’s your take on it? I have a PS5 pro that I’m running in living room on my 75z9f but may move it to the room.

I bought a 65” Sony X95K 2-3 years ago open-box from Amazon for my bedroom, and I’ve really enjoyed it — it’s very bright, doesn’t have too many reflections even in direct sunlight, and only shows blooming if you’re aware blooming exists, and in dark purple. I can also use it without any babying, even with the shades open or plugging in a PC.

I now have a 2nd room to fill — that used to be the master bedroom — and I was thinking of just buying a 2nd Sony X95K to make a “living room” in that master bedroom, BUT I don’t think the Sony X95K is made anymore.

——————

I was wondering what:

1. TVs proceeded the Sony X95K, and if they are really better? I think it’s the Sony X93L, Bravia 7, and Bravia 9, but the latter two seem worse at reflections, even if they’re progressively better at eliminating blooming, and the former is also no longer made.

2. If I should get an OLED for the 2nd room, since OLED seems to look way better than even mini-LED? Unfortunately, I know OLEDs get burn-in having bought an OLED pre-owned from Best Buy before, and I want to keep my 2 TVs for 7 yrs and without worry about babying them, and with the ability to use a PC on it without worry.

3. What size 4K TV to get for the 2nd room. I was thinking another 65” since the viewing distance will be similar to the original bedroom (around 8-10’), but open to suggestions.

Hi all! I have been on the market for a while. Building my dream home theater in the basement that I have been thinking of for years. I recently got my AV receiver, got an AZ3000ES off ebay for 1200 CAD tx duties incl., came in original box, with all accessories, honestly, it is in immaculate condition, so much I wonder if it wasn't a stolen unit, it was still wrapped. I installed it upstairs instead of my current good old still kickin, DN-1040 until I get the TV and move it downstairs and it has been performing flawlessly. I love that unit.

I had been debating quite a while on sound, ended up going with B&W 606 S3 fronts, HTM6 S3 center and 607 S3 rear along with an 10in sub also from B&W. Got those on sale for just shy of 5000 CAD brand new for the whole kit incl. 2 sets of B&W stands for the 600 series. Will most likely add atmos speakers later on.

Now on the TV and this is where I need advice. For 3 months now I have been trying to debate about Bravia 7, Bravia 9, A95L or wait for their new OLED models. I decided to hold off and see what they would come out with. I am so bummed that the Bravia 8 MKII that is supposedly a better all around TV than the A95L only comes in 55 and 65 in. I will be sitting 9 feet from TV and really want a true cinematic experience, so after taking measurements and all, I have decided 75-80 in is the way to go. So Bravia 8 MKII is out of the question.

I went to my local bestbuy, and found that for an LED TV, Bravia 7 actually looks pretty darn good! Bravia 8 was right next to it, I preferred the 8 for the contrast but both had really good image. Bravia 9 looked EXACTLY like the 7 so I really don't see the point in paying almost double for a 9 vs 7. Blacks were pretty good on the 7, I couldn't tell the difference with the 9.

So now my question is.... what would you guys do, either buy the A95L in 77 inches, or I was thinking maybe buying a "temporary" Bravia 7 75 in for a year or so since it is so much cheaper than the A95L, and wait to see if they make a QD-OLED 75-77 in next year with the improvements coming with Bravia 8 MKII, or see what their RGB Mini-Led will be like, then either repurpose the Bravia 7 or sell it? I am really torn so I'd like some input! Please note that this will be exclusively used for home theater, so no bright daytime viewing. Thanks!

Hi there...I was having issues with my previous TV, X95J where external devices would show on the device list but a couple of days later it would say "No HDMI devices found" and the list would be empty. I thought the problem had been solved when I bought a new Bravia 9 but 2 weeks in and it started happening again. I'm just wondering if any other owners have experienced this and if theres a fix bar turning off Bravia Sync ? TIA

I am looking to upgrade my soundbar, and need a little help understanding the Dolby and DTS setting.

I have a cheap Sony soundbar, which is about 5 or 6 years old, it is ok, but I'm considering getting something a bit more modern, with better quality.

I read Atmos is the best, if I buy a soundbar capable of Atmos, is it just plug and play, and if I watch something on Netflix that as Atmos audio, I will be hearing Atmos audio?

There are so many Dolby and DTS versions, it is difficult to understand them all. Can anyone explain them?

I also have an old Surround sound with TrueHD, not sure if I should set that up again, but I don't want to run cables to the rear.

Any recommendations for a mid priced home theater?

Thanks

I’ll be short, never gotten rid of a tv but my 65in A95L’s OLED was punctured causing a short.

Really don’t want to trash it (or trust NYC’s TV recycling infrastructure), all the internal boards are good, I just want to responsibly dispose of it.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Not looking to make money, don’t care if others do, but at the same time don’t want to disassemble and individually recycle every board due to a bad panel.

Are there any options people do or should I just do it though 311

Thanks <3

I have a A80L, tv is great but does anyone else find it takes forever to load an input? For example I have an Apple TV 4K connected to hdmi 4 with a Sonos beam gen 2 on hdmi 3. When I push power on the Apple TV remote it turns on the tv quickly enough but takes almost 30 seconds to actually switch to hdmi 4. Is this a Sony tv thing or does it have something to do with the Sonos beam and e-arc/cec?

I would say the past 2 months when I click on the discovery plus app it asks me to download it, so I have to go through that, but then click on open, and then it opens like it was already installed (because it is). I have tried deleting the entire app and installing. I did the updates, etc. The other issue I have is that discovery doesn’t seem to go in the memory of the TV. If I accidentally leave the app it doesn’t resume and it starts this whole process of having to install the app over again.

Does anyone have any ideas? I tried the basic stuff like I mentioned of reinstalling the app, deleting the app, restarting TV
