I am trying to confirm that my Television Bravia KDLEX403 9110471 and my Hard Disk Recorder SVR HDT500 S/N 1016137 are both registered so that I update my network to a wireless system. I purchased the Television in 2010 and the recorder in 2011

I bought the 49X8505B to show photographs on the Lightroom App on my iMac 27 incn with retina.

 

I expected to use Apple TV but the iMac doesn't seem to have the mirror option. Unless you can tell me otherwise ... thanks Roger

has anyone found a good working method to connect a keyboard and mouse?

I wonder why you sent me a link to see a video about how to connect my Sony Bravia to Internet since my model (KDL-40EX600) cannot be connected to Internet. Maybe you should check the model number before sending emails.

Recently bought (Nov 2015) Sony Bravia 43" 4K TV.  Trying to set up favourites.  Major update for Youview when I switched on, but I did not implement Youview, because I don't want it, and I don't want to lose the other facilities.  Although I can and programs to favourites, I can't select Favourites from the guide (it shows all channels).  How can I select favourites on the guide?

I have been trying to register my sony bravia KDL 42w653a with SEN so I can watch amazon video. But i get the registration code from the tv and the activation link won't accept it.

I have been trying to connect my KDL32W653A to get Amazon video too. Currently tried 7 different codes all deemed incorrect, try again. After two attempts support sent email with instructions which got me pack to the page that I had been using all along. At midday today they said they would sort it out and call back in half an hour, it is 6.30 now and no one has called back. It has all been a painful waste of time. It connects to Netflix etc no problem. All extremely frustrating for something that should be so simple.

My KDL-40RD453 keeps on displaying cable OK Internet connection failed. I have tested the connection with my laptop (Wifi switced off) and it works perfectly. I have tried updating the firmware. That looks as if it was already up to date. I have seen references to returning to factory settings how is this done. I don't want to have to return my TV.

Could you please send the complete manual of my 4K 43 just bought it from curry's last week, my Son bought it for our Christmas present.

He payed £45 for an engineeer to install and give a demonstration, we are both 70years old.

He installed it turn it on then said it's all in the book.

Welll it's not all in the book Curry's supplied only the remote information we phoned Curry's to say how disgusted we were at the demonstration.

That is why I need the full Manual to read myself.

Please send to my registered address as my Husband dose not use the internet!!!

yours truly

Can anyone please tell me which code to input into my Sky remote so that it will operate my Bravia KD-55XD9305. It is not listed in the Remote set up list of Sony TVs.

I have just bought a KD-55XE7002 and had it all working very quickly however the Sony SRV-HDT500 Hard Disk recorder refuses to connect via any of the HDMI connections. I have swapped cables to to avail and checked on another Sony TV that is is still working. I am just wondering if there is a compatibility issue with the new TV? Any thoughts?

Not physically but probably via wi-fi but I do not use Apple products so I cannot confirm.

I had trouble connecting to BBC IPlayer, ITV and 4 Catchup to my KD-49XE9005 TV. After advice from John Lewis Technical and Sony Technical the problem was solved eventually by BT assisting me in disconnecting Parent Control and Smart Set Up on my BT Hub 5. A very frustrating 2 days!!

I have successfully set up my new Bravia 32" WD75 and linked it via optical cable to a Goodman 60W soundbar. The results are excellent and I am delighted with the picture quality. For some reason though Freeview HD channels from 101 onwards have no sound from the soundbar, although all the other channels do. Yo can revert to TV sound but in a slimline set the sound is 'tinny' to say the least.

Just bought this Bravia TV KD-49XE9005 and am trying to move channels on the channel list but although the manual as instructions to do this the option in settings is greyed out. Why is this.

If I go to MY Sony and select ITV Hub, it does not link in to ITV Hub. Its ok on BBC iplayer.

 

Am I doing something wrong?
