Q: QuestionAny thoughts/feedback would be appreciated between this and the LG 42” C2. Is there any reason why OLED TVs never show an actual show on their screens like they show on all other TVs. Instead of the display photo. How can you really see the differences

Asked 2 years ago by mrmet044.

• A:Answer I suggest visiting a Best Buy if you can to see and hear the difference. When I saw the difference between the Sony and LG anti-glare coating I was sold. And then listening to the sound that comes standard on the Sony -- there was no contest. The photo and video stuff they have going in the store is annoying, but if you find the right staff member, they can show you 4K YouTube videos and really see the difference. Sony video processing is remarkable.

Q: QuestionCan this Sony be operated as a non-Smart tv? Our Internet is already stressed thus we prefer not to hook it up to our wifi, and when we stream, if we stream, we will be using a Roku stick.

Asked 1 year ago by Stargirl.

• A:Answer Yes, when going through the set up, choose ‘Set up As Basic TV’. I also think you can choose not to add it to your wireless network.

Q: QuestionCan this be wall mounted. I'm replacing a 43" TV on a scissor mount. Thank you!

Asked 2 years ago by Merriam.

• A:Answer Thank you for your interest in the A90K, Merriam. This TV can be mounted to a wall using a suitable Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied). The 42" A90K conforms to the VESA Mount Standard and has a VESA hole pattern of 7.87 x 7.87 inch (200 x 200 mm). If your current wall mount bracket is VESA compliant with a hole pattern of 7.87 x 7.87 inch (200 x 200 mm), then you can use it to mount the XR-42A90K. Please also note that your mount needs to be able to support the TV weight which is 29.3 lb (13.3 kg). For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that installation of your TV on the wall be performed by qualified professionals. Regards, Jess

Q: QuestionDoes the composite video input accept left/right audio? 3 rca inputs! When set up in tv basic mode will I have any issues with my Roku Wi-Fi mode? I also use a sennheiser wireless headset, it needs a 1/8 “ audio input, will this tv accommodate?

Asked 1 year ago by Yodude.

• A:Answer Hi Yodude, Thank you very much for your inquiry. For your first question, when using an optional Analog Extension Cable (3.5mm, 4-pole Mini jack to RCA yellow, red and white, not supplied) that can be purchase at most electronic retailers, no, the TV doesn't support composite/regular RCA connection (yellow, red, and white) a third-party adapter will be needed. As for your second question, no, when the TV is setup in "Basic mode" it does remove some functionality like installing apps, services and features that require signing into your Google Account, and Google Assistant on the TV and not on the connected external device. Just simply plug in your Roku device to the available HDMI input of the TV and you're good to go. Regarding your third question, unfortunately, no. It doesn't support 1/8-Inch (3.5mm) headphone audio input. As an alternative, you may consider connecting a wireless headset to the TV via a Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth function of our XR-42A90K will work with any Bluetooth headphones/headset that support Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) profile for wireless music playback. The MASTER Series BRAVIA XR A90K OLED TV is designed to fit perfectly in any sized room or office thanks to the 48-inch and first-ever 42-inch screen sizes. Whether you are gearing up for an intense gaming session or settling down to enjoy your favorite movie or show, rest assured the A90K will be sure to impress. I hope this helps you, and thanks again for your question! Best regards, Romeo
