Questiondoes this television require professional set up ? We are seniors and not that tech savvy so kind of prefer "plug and play"
Asked 4 years ago by dorglet.
- Answer My opinion, no. You can do it yourself. Unless you have other systems to hook to it like a surround sound system, game system, etc., it might get a little tricky. If it's just a cable box, hook up the cable from the box to the back of the tv (like you would with any other tv) and follow the onscreen instructions. Keep the "quick set up" guide close and take your time with it. Good luck.

QuestionI want a pristine picture. However, no internet service of any kind. The video input will only come from an over-the-air antenna and and a blu ray player. Will this tv provide the picture I want without any downloads or "smart" capability?
Asked 4 years ago by Video.
- Answer Don't be confused by popular hype. Your over the air antennae (of any type) will provide a "pristine picture" if you are happy with 1080 HD. But remember no one broadcast in 4K or 8K. 4K broadcast is suppose to be coming in limited areas later this year but 99% of the 4K tv's built right now do not have a 4K tuner. So while they are capable of a 4K picture from a Blue Ray player (and it will be incredible) only a handful of the 2020 TV's come with an ATSC 3.0 tuner needed to receive the 4K over the air signal. Oddly enough Sony is not putting this tuner in their newest high end models. They are making a few modest price models (X900H) with the ATSC 3.0 this year, which is kind of strange. Samsung and LG are making a few top end models this year with the tuner.

Asked 4 years ago by J.

QuestionIs this TV bright enough for a room with significant ambient light during the day, or is it only good for a home theater? Thanks!
Asked 4 years ago by Windows.
- Answer This set is sufficient brightness for my livingroom with 2-5 ft windows and 2 smaller windows facing west. But you cannot beat it when you turn the lights down low to watch what is going on in the dark scenes in a streaming movie.

QuestionModel: XBR-55A8H -- I have changed a setting that now each time the channel is changed I get this voice telling me what show and channel I have selected. Does anybody know how to turn this off?
Asked 4 years ago by MrMac.
- Answer Hi MrMac, thank you for purchasing our A8H Sony OLED TV. The text-to-speech can be turned off from the Settings. Simply press Home > Settings > Device Preferences > Accessibility > select Turn OFF/Disable text-to-speech. Please take note and check if the issue also occurs when navigating through the menu. If the issue is not resolved by turning off or disabling the text-to-speech function or if the issue does not occur when navigating through the TV menu, it is possible that the issue is caused by your external device such as a cable box, if this happens please contact the cable box manufacturer. Regards, Carl

QuestionWhen is the Sony A9S 48” OLED due in the stores?
Asked 4 years ago by Mokew.
- Answer i have seen a date from another site of 9/16/20...ofcourse with pandemic all published dates are only semi solid at best.. BUT the 48 LG will be out first, that is assured.. Its arrival is likely within 30 days...Early Mid July..if we gt lucky..sooner...I am waiting to see IF the SOny becomes a hybrid of the A9G and and the A8H..in other words a 2020 paneled MASTER SERIES...if that happens, I think it will take top honors, as product of the year..Much like yourself, I can't wait to see it.
