Posted .Hi Gary,
We understand how frustrating it is when a single app like Hulu has issues, especially when other streaming services work perfectly, and we appreciate you noting the superior picture quality of your BRAVIA 8 OLED. Since other apps are fine, this is likely a software conflict with the Hulu app itself. Please try the following steps, which often resolve this specific app issue: first, go to Settings, then to Apps, then to See all apps, find Hulu and select Clear cache and then Clear data; next, unplug the TV from the power outlet for two minutes, then plug it back in to perform a full system reset. If the problem persists after these steps, please contact our dedicated product support team directly for a deeper diagnostic: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best t.v. I've ever had, hands down. It made my sound bar better too.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic, short, and sweet review, Gavyn!
We're thrilled to hear you feel the K-65XR80 is the best TV you've ever had, hands down. Knowing that the picture quality is a game-changer for you is wonderful.
It's also great to hear that it made your sound bar better! When you pair a compatible Sony TV like the XR80 with a Sony soundbar, they work together using Acoustic Center Sync to turn the TV's speakers into a center channel, enhancing dialogue and truly boosting the overall soundstage. That synergy is designed to make your whole home theater system shine.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Audio output issues never fixed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.

Great TV and perfect size but..........
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Sony Bravia and the ability to stream when we want. Using with a Sony sound bar. But have an issue: if we connect to my receiver there is no sound from live TV. I would expect a Sony TV to work with a Sony receiver.
