- A:Answer Hi Danny, Thank you for reaching out with your question. Unfortunately, the K-43S30 (BRAVIA 3) TV does not include an HDMI cable in the package. HDMI cables are usually sold separately, so you will need to purchase one if you don't already have it. The Sony BRAVIA 3 combines HDR color support with Sony's intelligent picture processing to analyze and enhance every scene with accurate, lifelike color. Connect HD and UHD devices via HDMI 2.1 inputs with advanced features like ALLM and eARC.

Q: QuestionIf I use the digital optical out put to connect to my Avantree headphones will I still be able to hear the TV sound at the same time?
Asked by Barbie.
- A:Answer Hi Barbie! Thank you for reaching out with your question. We're happy to assist you! The K-43S30 TV can’t play sound from both the speakers and headphones at the same time directly. To achieve audio from both sources, you can connect a transmitter to the TV's DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT terminal. We recommend the Sony WLA-NS7 Wireless Transmitter for this purpose. To set it up: 1. Connect the WLA-NS7 to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT with an optical cable. 2. Pair your headphones with the transmitter. 3. On the TV, set the audio output to TV speakers. This way, the sound comes out from both the TV speakers and your headphones at once.

Q: QuestionWhere is the yellow video port
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi there, thanks for sending your question. We're happy to assist you with this today! The K-43S30 does not have a yellow video port (composite video input). Instead, this model is equipped with multiple HDMI ports, including at least one HDMI port labeled eARC for advanced audio/video connections. If you need to connect an older device that only has composite video output (yellow RCA), you would need an HDMI converter, as the TV does not natively support composite video input. To see all the ports and connections on this TV, just click this link and then select "Help Guide". https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/lusltn2/v1/en-003/index.html We sincerely appreciate you considering a Sony product!

Q: QuestionDoes the Bravia 3 43" support multiview
Asked by Pyradoz.
- A:Answer Thank you for contacting Sony, Pyradoz. Unfortunately, the Multiview feature—where you can view a TV source (like an antenna/OTA channel) simultaneously with a video input (HDMI) or app—are not supported on the BRAVIA 3 or any current Sony TV. This functionality is not currently included in the operating system for these models. However, we do offer a unique, specialized Multiview feature that you may find useful: When a console is connected and the TV is set to game mode, the TV allows you to run your game on one side of the screen while displaying a YouTube video or stream on the other side.
