  • Questionis a sound bar required for this item or are the speakers adequate

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there, The Sony BRAVIA 8 features our advanced Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology, which uses actuators to turn the entire OLED panel into a high-quality speaker. This 50W system delivers clear dialogue and immersive sound that originates directly from the action on screen, making it more than adequate for everyday viewing without an external speaker. However, if you are looking for deep, cinematic bass or a true 360-degree surround sound experience, you may still want to consider adding a dedicated Sony soundbar. Thanks for choosing Sony.

  • QuestionIs it protected from power surges?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Thank you for contacting Sony. While Sony televisions include built-in circuitry to help manage standard electrical fluctuations, our limited manufacturer warranty does not cover damage caused by power surges. We highly recommend checking with your retailer about extended protection plans that specifically include surge coverage for extra peace of mind. Additionally, using a high-quality surge protector is always a great way to help safeguard your new BRAVIA 8. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.

  • QuestionVideo camera camera RCA inputs are missing 😢

    Asked by MichaelB.

  • QuestionDo I need a hdmi 2.1 cable just to watch TV and Netflix from my phone? I would be Mirror screening. Would it be beneficial to run a hdmi 2.1 cable from my phone to the TV? I use Hotspot on my phone. No internet in my house except my phone.

    Asked by Drew.

    • Answer Hi Drew, For your specific scenario—watching TV and Netflix content mirrored from your phone using your phone's hotspot—an HDMI 2.1 cable is not required. HDMI 2.1 is primarily beneficial for high-end gaming consoles or PCs to achieve resolutions like $4K$ at $120$ frames per second, which is far beyond what standard TV streaming and screen mirroring from a phone provides. A high-quality HDMI 2.0 cable (used with a compatible USB-C or Lightning adapter, as most phones don't have a direct HDMI port) is more than sufficient to deliver the highest $4K$ resolution and picture quality that streaming services like Netflix offer today. The limiting factor in quality will be the resolution of your phone and the speed of your phone's hotspot connection, not the cable standard. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

  • QuestionWhen the TV feels like it, the screen freezes, then after a short time it reboots. I understand this is a frequently reported issue. How can this be fixed? And when does my warranty expire? Roy

    Asked by rls5000.

    • Answer Hi Rls5000, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We understand how concerning it must be when your TV screen freezes and reboots on its own. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have, and we'd like to walk you through some steps that can help resolve this. Here's what we recommend trying: 1. Go to Settings > Channels and Inputs > External Inputs > Bravia Sync Settings, and set the Bravia Sync Control to OFF. 2. Go to Settings > System > Samba Interactive TV, and turn Samba Interactive TV OFF. 3. Go to Settings > Network and Internet > Home Network > IP Control > Simple IP Control, and turn Simple IP Control ON. 4. Make sure your software is up to date by selecting Settings > System > About > System Software Update > Update your TV Software These steps should help prevent the issue from reoccurring. If the problem continues, or if you'd like to know details about your warranty and its expiration date, we suggest reaching out to our technical support team directly for personalized assistance.
