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!

Asked by DEDEE.
- A:Answer Hi DEDEE, The Sony 43" Class BRAVIA 3 TV stand width is exactly 28.25 inches, so it will fit on your TV stand that measures 28.25 inches. Regarding the smart features, the TV will require you to complete a basic initial setup, but you are not required to use the Google or AI features afterward; you can simply use it as a traditional TV connected to external sources like a cable box. Finally, while we recommend using the stand provided for guaranteed stability, the TV is VESA compliant (200x200 mm), meaning you can use a compatible third-party stand or wall mount if you prefer.

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.

Q: QuestionThis TV is not Energy Star certified. Auto shut off and/or timed shut off are not listed. Can auto shut off be programmed?
Asked by brightnina.
- A:Answer Hi Brightnina, Thanks for your question about the BRAVIA 3 television's power-saving features. Sony is committed to energy efficiency, and all our TVs are designed with several features to help you save power. Regarding your question about auto shut-off, YES, the TV can be programmed to turn off automatically. There are two primary features for this: 1) Idle TV standby: This feature can be programmed to automatically turn the TV off after a set period of inactivity—like if no one is watching or using the remote. You can find this setting by going to Settings > System > Power and Energy > Idle TV standby. 2) Sleep Timer: This allows you to set the TV to turn off after a specific amount of time has passed, such as 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc. This is perfect for when you are going to sleep. You can usually find the sleep timer in the quick settings menu. We hope this resolves your concerns. Once you have your TV you can contact our Sony Support team to help you set it!
