      Thank you for sharing your feedback, ArleneC!

      We are pleased to hear that your K-43S30 television is as good as advertised in terms of picture quality! It's fantastic to know you are enjoying the viewing experience.

      We also appreciate you bringing up the sound change announcements. We understand that those notification sounds when adjusting the volume or changing inputs can be distracting.

      To easily disable these sounds and ensure a quieter experience, you can usually turn off the TV's system sounds by navigating to:

      Settings → System → Sounds→ System Sounds (and set this to Off or Mute).

      Please give that a try! We hope this simple adjustment allows you to enjoy the TV completely.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi NormL, we're glad you like the picture and sound quality of our product. We understand your feedback regarding the Xfinity app. The Xfinity Stream app is currently not available for direct download on Sony BRAVIA TVs through the Google Play Store. This means that to access Xfinity streaming services, you will need to use an external device such as a Roku stick, as you mentioned. You also can use the built-in Chromecast feature to cast the content from the Xfinity Stream app on your mobile device to this TV. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl Sony_US

    Overall, TV has worked well. There have been a continuing issue with its relationship with old SONY sound bars and with the use of an Apple TV to interface with streaming services. Sony tech support was finally able to resolve the issues and get everything working correctly and consistently. Sound bar issue had to be resolved by replacing the 19 year old device with a compatible SONY sound system.
