@@SteveDOES Please help me, I have a Sony TV and for about a month now it has been going into sleep mode every 10 minutes. How can I return to the old setting, when he entered it once every 1 hour, and not every 10 minutes? Помогите мне пожалуста, у меня телевизор Сони и уже как месяц он каждые 10 минут вподает в спящий режим. Как мне вернуть старую настройку, когда он в него входил раз в 1 час, а не каждые 10 минут?

I learned that Steve knows more about Sony TVs than the rep I just spoke with on the phone. He told me my Sony 77XL did not include Power On Behavior when it had worked fine coming on to the last used input for the first ten days, then consistently came on to the Home Screen. He told me I had no recourse. This video showed me where to find Power On Behavior on the "Wrench" menu while it is not included in "Settings". Thanks, Steve.

Great video ! Thanks for the tips. I have an issue with my A75K stuck on my Home Screen / Google all of a sudden. One of my cats stepped on the power button on the surge protector when the tv was off. I was wondering if you have any tips on unfreezing my Google Home Screen all the directional arrows on the remote are unresponsive. Everything good when selecting TV for local cable channels. Any help or tips are welcomed. Thanks again for your video I learned things I didn’t know about this Sony software.

@briancaulfield7251 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for the great info! Was hoping to find some more info on it in this video, or anywhere for that matter, but what does the MENU button do? When I press it, it brings up a bunch of menu options, but the menu options (like pressing "Display" for example) don't do anything. Using an Xfinity cable box with my A75L, what is this MENU function for? Not even Sony's help guides really explain it.

I just bought a Bravia KD-50X77L and it was working fine, but the cable guy came and changed a bunch of settings. The sound bar wasn't working, and when I plugged it in correctly, the volume was at MAX and I couldn't change or control it. Do you know if there's a setting for the volume the TV puts out that maybe is set to 100%? I can't find it. Had to disconnect the sound bar.

Use an apple TV, Google Chromcast, Roku. Otherwise the reason your TV has so many adds is because it's probably a lower end model and they use the adds to subsidize the lower cost. I don't agree with that, but it is what it is. What TV are you using?

Do you happen to know where there could be additional setting to enable that? Best regards

The apps for PRO MODE ARE INSTALLED in the TV. I just need the key press sequence to activate it. Can you help? Thanks.

Could u tell me how to set the best equaliser settings for hearing tv speakers sound somehow high or rich sound in less volume level below 10? After one month of purchasing new XR-55X90L , demo installed by sony technician, sound is good at a very less volume less than 10, in tv channels, in OTT platforms are good at same volume level between 5-10, now by today, while seeing tv channels and OTT platforms at 7-10 volume level, sound is very low, not able to feel the good sound experience like before. How's happened? Whether my father accidentally changed settings in equaliser by reset or what happened i don't know?! I tried reset, changed the volume offset to maximum, tv speaker sound quality now is not as same before yesterday. My father too didnt know how's it happened!? I am requesting you to tell me whether if i change the equalizer settings in sound, which are the frequency has to be in low, max, medium level in every frequency? Whether by changing the frequency equalizer settings in sound, is it possible to give good rich sound in less volume level from 5-10?
