Q: QuestionWhat is the difference in a 8 or 8B

Asked 6 months ago by MC.

• A:Answer Hi MC, The XR8B is a retailer-exclusive version of the standard BRAVIA 8 OLED TV, designed to offer a similar core picture and performance at a potentially more accessible price point. Both share the same OLED panel and powerful XR Processor for incredible deep blacks and stunning 4K clarity. The main differences are that the XR8B typically excludes the bundled Sony Pictures Core movie credit promotion and may not feature the advanced XR Contrast Booster processing, which fine-tunes brightness for peak contrast. It's a fantastic option if you prioritize OLED picture quality and savings over those specific features. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

Q: QuestionI currently run my Samsung 1080 plasma through my 2016 Onkyo TX-RZ 800 avr with a great picture. Problem is it only supports 4k@60Hz. If I buy a XR8B, should I avoid running it through the avr? A new avr is a few years down the road Thanks' JimB

Asked 8 months ago by JimB.

• A:Answer Thanks for contacting Sony, JimB. The BRAVIA 8 has HDMI 2.1 ports that are designed to handle high-bandwidth signals like 4K@60Hz. For audio, you can simply connect the TV to your Onkyo receiver using a single HDMI cable from the BRAVIA 8's eARC/ARC port. This will allow the TV to send the high-quality audio from all your connected devices back to your receiver to be processed. This setup will allow you to enjoy a stunning picture on the BRAVIA 8 while continuing to use your Onkyo AVR for its high-quality audio capabilities. Thank you again for your interest in Sony products! Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Q: QuestionDoes this unit offer the "Picture- In- Picture" feature?

Asked 6 months ago by Armyvet85.

• A:Answer Thank you for contacting Sony, Armyvet85. Unfortunately, Picture-in-Picture functionality is not supported on this model or any current Sony TV. This feature is not currently included within the operating system for our latest BRAVIA 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.
