Audio output issues never fixed

Despite software updates and troubleshooting, there are still audio output issues. I have a Sony stereo system for audio fed via HDMI from the tv. There is a delay in audio despite changing all options with the output and uding quality cables. I have to switch to TV speakers and back in order to shorten that delay, but there is still minor delay. A new problem just developed after a year where the TV won't default to the saved output anymore as it keeps reverting to the TV speakers. I had hoped for a nice setup with the Sony TV and stereo, but the audio issues make me wish i had returned it. I never had such issues with other brands while using the same stereo system.

Hi Jason,
We sincerely apologize that you are experiencing persistent and frustrating audio output issues with your BRAVIA 8 and your Sony stereo system. We understand how disappointing it is when two products from the same brand don't integrate seamlessly, and we regret that this is impacting your overall enjoyment.
The delay you described, and the new issue where the TV is reverting to internal speakers, sound like classic communication problems between the TV and the audio system (likely related to HDMI eARC/ARC and CEC/BRAVIA Sync).
To resolve these issues, we highly recommend performing the following detailed troubleshooting sequence:
1. Perform a Full Power Reset (CEC Handshake): - Turn off both the TV and the audio system. - Unplug both devices from the wall power, and also disconnect the main HDMI cable connecting them. Wait for 2 minutes. - Reconnect the HDMI cable, ensuring it is plugged into the eARC/ARC port on both the TV and the audio system. - Plug both devices back into power. Power on the TV first, and wait until it fully boots up, then power on the audio system.
2. Enable the BRAVIA Sync Device List: This ensures the TV is actively scanning and recognizing your connected Sony equipment.
- Using your Sony remote, navigate to: Settings > Channels & Inputs > External Inputs > BRAVIA Sync Settings > BRAVIA Sync Device List > Enable
If these steps do not resolve the problem, we encourage you to contact our dedicated technical support team for further, personalized assistance.

So great, colors looks great. But brightness may be a downside but overall don’t regret!

Hi Matskis,
We're thrilled you love the vibrant colors on your BRAVIA 8! You're right, while OLEDs like yours offer unmatched contrast and perfect blacks, their peak brightness can differ from other display types. Still, your BRAVIA 8's XR Contrast Booster ensures incredible picture quality. We're happy to hear you don't regret your choice! If you need help optimizing settings, just ask us!
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a nice day! DiegoV

Overall the TV is nice, however it has some quirks. Half the time when I turn it off it won’t and I’ve found a workaround to sett the timer for 15 minutes and then it will turn off. Next it was very dark (picture) even after I tried adjusting brightness and after much playing around I found a setting that took it off of power saving and lightened up the picture. The Best Buy tech who was paid to set it up, didn’t do it right or really show me how to use it. It was after he left that I realized it. So be careful after paying the high price for delivery instillation.

Hi BrianD,
That's fantastic to hear! We're so glad you're loving your new BRAVIA 8 OLED TV and that it's living up to the hype. It's a common feeling once you experience the deep blacks and vibrant colors that only an OLED can deliver!
A key feature of the K-65XR80 that really makes it shine is the Acoustic Surface Audio+. The screen itself vibrates subtly to produce sound directly from the picture, making the dialogue and effects feel more connected to what's happening on screen. It creates a truly immersive and cinematic experience right in your living room.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a spectacular day! DiegoV
