  • QuestionHow does this tv compare to other TV in it class

    Asked by Shotgun.

    • Answer Hi Shotgun, Thank you for your question. If you are pertaining to the difference between BRAVIA 3, 7, and 9, these models have several key distinctions. The BRAVIA 3 features a 4K HDR Processor X1, while the BRAVIA 7 and 9 utilize the XR Processor, which enhances color, contrast, and clarity in real time. In terms of backlighting, the BRAVIA 3 uses a Direct Lit system, whereas the BRAVIA 7 and 9 incorporate a MINI LED backlight system, with the BRAVIA 9 further enhancing brightness with its High Luminance feature. The BRAVIA 3 is equipped with a 60Hz panel and Motionflow technology, while the BRAVIA 7 and 9 offer a 120Hz panel with XR Motion Clarity for smoother motion handling. The BRAVIA 7 and 9 also have two HDMI 2.1 ports (HDMI 3 and 4), which are not available on the BRAVIA 3. In terms of audio, all three models come with X-Balance speakers, but the BRAVIA 7 and 9 include Multi Acoustic Audio for a more immersive sound experience. Design-wise, the BRAVIA 3 has a flush surface bezel, while the BRAVIA 7 and 9 feature a seamless edge. Additionally, the BRAVIA 3 supports only a one-way stand position, whereas the BRAVIA 7 and 9 offer four-way positioning (Outside, Inside, Outside for Soundbar, Inside for Soundbar).

  • QuestionDo you have to connect to internet to use this tv?

    Asked by Shopping.

    • Answer Hi Shopping, Thank you for question. You don't need an internet connection for basic TV functions like watching cable or satellite TV, playing DVDs or Blu-rays, or using connected devices like gaming consoles. However, to access internet-based features like streaming services (e.g., Netflix, YouTube), downloading apps, or using smart TV functions, an internet connection is required. You can connect your TV to the internet via a wired (Ethernet) connection or a wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. Hope this information helps!

  • QuestionHow do we set up captions?

    Asked by Marlene.

    • Answer Hi Marlene, Thanks for inquiring about the TV. To display closed captions/subtitles on the TV screen, press the MENU button to access the Control Menu, then select the CC/Subtitle option. Content for which Closed Captions are available is as follows: • TV broadcasts: Closed Captions may not be available for some TV broadcasts. • Cable or satellite box: If you're using a cable or satellite set-top box connected to your TV with an HDMI® or component cable, you must enable closed captioning (CC) from the cable or satellite box menu, not on your TV. Refer to your set-top box manufacturer for instructions. • Streaming services: If you're watching a streaming service, like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, or another service, you may need to turn on captioning within the service itself. Refer to the service you're watching for instructions. For more information, please refer to the this helpful link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00260887 Regards, Jess

  • QuestionHow do you set up a universal remote to turn the tv on and off?

    Asked by Bob.

    • Answer Hi Bob, thanks for asking! If you are using a Sony® universal remote control, the control code for Sony products is either 01 or 001. However, we are unable to provide support for remote controls designed by other manufacturers. Manufacturers may assign different code numbers in their universal remote controls to identify the Infrared (IR) signal of a Sony product. Thus, the code number used for operating a Sony product in one remote control may be different from that used by another. For assistance with programming a third-party remote control, please reach out to the manufacturer of the remote. For detailed information, you can visit the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00024615 Here are the basic steps to follow: 1. Install fresh batteries in your universal remote. 2. Locate the Sony TV remote code in the documentation that came with your universal remote. 3. Activate programming/setup mode according to your universal remote's instructions. 4. Enter the Sony TV code and test the Power button function. 5. If it doesn't work, try using alternate codes or contact the remote's manufacturer for assistance. Please note that advanced features may not be supported on universal remotes.

  • QuestionCan we download the Directv app?

    Asked by Kris.

    • Answer Hi Kris, Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, the DIRECTV Stream app is not natively supported on Sony TVs, as it is primarily designed for specific devices that are not included in Sony's lineup. The most effective way to access DIRECTV Stream on your Sony TV is by using a compatible external device. Thank you for choosing Sony products! Best regards, Gus Sony Social Media Team
