      Hi TurtleBeach, Thanks for the feedback. We're glad you like the quality of the TV. If you purchase the TV brand new, it should come with a Voice Remote Control. If you're missing the remote control, kindly reach out to your dealer. Hope this helps. Regards, -Craig Sony_US

    I always enjoy shopping at Best Buy. The TV I recently purchased has a few issues. The screen sometimes goes to start up mode in the middle of a program. The remote does not have a number display.

    Tv turns itself on every night.

    I have owned this TV about 2 months, and this Sony Bravia 3 turns itself on every night all by itself. I have exhausted all resources I can find, and done everything all of them listed as possible solutions, and it still does it. Apparently, Sony knows this problem exists, and doesn’t know why. I have disabled all settings that supposedly would allow the TV to self start, but it seems to have a mind of it’s own. I have resorted to turning volume down to 0 so it doesn’t make noise when it does this. This is my last Sony product. There should be a recall of all Sony Tv’s, and complete refunds to people who bought them.

      Hi JamesM,

      Since you've already attempted troubleshooting steps and the issue persists, let's ensure everything has been addressed properly. If any steps were overlooked, please give them a try.

      First, perform a power reset by unplugging the TV from the electrical outlet for at least 60 seconds. After that, check for any software updates. If you're unsure how to do this, you can find instructions here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/lcd-tvs-android-bravia-3-s30-/k-43s30/software/00340195.

      Next, adjust your Energy Settings. Navigate to Settings > System > Power and Energy, and disable any energy-saving features such as "Idle TV standby" or "Auto shut-off."

      Additionally, disconnect any external devices (like HDMI or USB) to determine if they might be causing the shutdown issue.

      If the problem persists after these steps, consider resetting the TV to its factory settings. For detailed instructions, please visit: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00159487?utm_source=glean.

      We hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Aldair Sony_US

    I set up the new Sony TV Model:K50S30 I also installed a brand new Amazon Firestick on HDMI2. For some reason I cannot use the Firestick to turn the TV on or off and the volume / mute button won't work either.

      Hi DanC, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your K50S30 TV.

      Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

      Ensure HDMI-CEC is Enabled: Make sure that the HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) feature is enabled on your TV. This feature allows devices connected via HDMI to control each other. On Sony TVs, this feature is often referred to as "BRAVIA Sync". You can enable it by going to:

      Settings > External Inputs > BRAVIA Sync settings > BRAVIA Sync control > On

      Also, please check if this control is also available on your FireStick device. For this, please refer to the manual of the external device or you may also refer to the manufacturer of the external device.

      May we contact you to help? If so, please email the below information to [email protected]

    Bought this TV from Best Buy out of the box it did not work. I have so far spent over 12 hours between Best Buy and Sony customer service trying to get resolution still don’t have an answer on it. They continue to add new layers and new layers upon new layers first you go through two layers of customer service help ““ where they take you through the set up and the reset up of the TV that took about two 2 1/2 hours Then you get an email saying please take pictures of the TV so we can return it or do whatever they’re gonna do so I take the pictures send them on my Apple iPhone to them as requested then I get an email back saying we can’t accept them in the Apple to our format so you’re gonna have to find another way to send the pictures to me Then you just ask what is the final what are you guys gonna do? Are you gonna give me a TV or you gonna do - still waiting!
