Pure OLED black and vibrant color brings out vibrant textures and astonishing realism in everything you watch. The screen is the speaker, delivering a totally unique and immersive theater-like sound that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The Sony Bravia 8 has received multiple software updates since its launch to enhance performance and stability. Most units currently run version v112.634.040.1, which addresses previous issues. You can verify your specific version by navigating through the Help or System > About menus using your remote. If your television is connected to the internet, it typically downloads these improvements automatically to ensure you have the latest security patches and the best possible picture quality.

A:AnswerHi 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.
Best regards,
Eliab
A:AnswerHi Beerguy,
Thank you for your question! The remote control included with the Sony BRAVIA 8 is not backlit. However, we understand that a backlit remote can be very convenient, especially in low-light environments. You do have the option to purchase a separate, compatible backlit remote control through our authorized accessories partner, Encompass:
Backlit Remote Option: https://sony.encompass.com/item/13369710/Sony/1-016-949-21/
We hope this alternative solution helps enhance your viewing experience, and thanks for considering 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.

A:AnswerHi there!
Thank you for your question! Yes, the Sony BRAVIA 8 is fully compatible with Sonos devices and offers several ways to connect depending on your specific model. You can use the HDMI eARC/ARC port for the highest quality audio and seamless remote control integration with Sonos soundbars, or utilize the digital optical output for older Sonos systems; additionally, the TV features built-in Bluetooth for wirelessly pairing compatible portable Sonos speakers and headphones.
Thank you for considering Sony products!

A:AnswerHi 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.

While your BRAVIA 8 is a Google TV and supports a wide range of streaming services, the Apple Music app is not available for direct download on the Google TV platform.
However, the good news is that your BRAVIA 8 is AirPlay 2 compatible, which offers a seamless, high-quality solution.
This means you can effortlessly stream all your Apple Music, podcasts, and video content directly from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to your TV's superior speakers and sound system. It's a fantastic, reliable way to enjoy your playlists without needing the native app.

A:AnswerHi 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. You can contact them here:
