    I spent over 2 thousand on this latest model and on the 2nd day problems with the TV arose. It took me 10 phone calls and being hung up on more than once by outsourced customer service with roosters roosting in the background just to finally have my warranty be honored after going through hoops doing their job trouble shooting getting nowhere. Even having me send them pictures to prove my case. Now I'm not even sure I'm getting a brand new tv because that is what I paid for. The tv is arriving in a different box not the actual box i purchased the one at home with. Terrible explanation and stressed out about it all.

    Nice TV when it isn’t freezing and having to be restarted, which was way too frequent to tolerate. Bought this TV a month ago and will be returning it. It freezes almost every time we watch TV. Sometimes it restarts on its own, and other times it needs to be unplugged and hard-restarted. Unbelievable for a supposedly high-quality Sony product. Very disappointed and will not be buying a Sony again. Went online for a fix and found a bunch of reddit threads duscussing the problem. Apparently not an isolated issue.

      Hi Bobby,

      Thank you for your feedback regarding the K-55XR80 (BRAVIA 8) TV. We apologize for the difficulties you experienced with connecting your soundbar via the HDMI ARC port. We understand how frustrating it can be when devices do not work as expected. To help resolve these issues, we recommend the following steps:

      1. Check HDMI Cable Compatibility: Ensure you are using a high-speed HDMI cable that supports ARC/eARC. Sometimes, using a standard HDMI cable can cause connectivity issues.
      2. Correct HDMI Port Usage: Verify that you are connecting the soundbar to the correct HDMI port on the TV. The K-55XR80 has specific HDMI ports labeled for ARC/eARC. Typically, HDMI input 3 is the designated port for ARC/eARC connections.
      3. TV Settings Configuration:
      - On your TV remote, press the Quick Settings.
      - Navigate to Settings > Display & Sound > Audio output > Speakers > Audio system.
      - Ensure that the Audio out setting is configured correctly for your soundbar.
      Soundbar Settings: Make sure your soundbar is set to the correct input mode to receive audio from the TV.

      Hi Basil,

      We're very sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue with your new BRAVIA 8 TV. A "crackling sound" and being unable to stream from your iPhone is definitely not the experience we want for you, and we understand how frustrating that can be.

      This sounds like it could be a compatibility or software-related issue with the AirPlay connection. Make sure your TV and phone has the latest firmware updates, and restart both devices.

      If the problem persists after trying these steps, it's best to contact our official support team. They can provide more in-depth troubleshooting and, if necessary, look into whether a repair or replacement is needed.

      You can find their contact information here:https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv

      Thanks for your patience, and we hope you can get this resolved quickly.
