Defective Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony TV suffered a terminal fault 2 weeks into ownership, well within the base warranty period. Best Buy referred me to Sony directly for repair. Having done do and a repair date was sett for December 24, 2025. That date has now been rescheduled to ZJanuary 7, 2026 due to back order for required parts. I suspect that repair date will be pushed as well given the back order status. At some point, I suspect I will be demanding full replacement of this TV. How a power power supply part for a current model TV can be “out of stock” is beyond my understanding, other than the possibility that this particular unit has an incurable defect impacting a large number of devices. Sony has yet to step up to make me whole on this transaction. The actual rating of this unit should be zero. Unfortunately that is not an option and will be the last Sony device I purchase.

Posted .Hi KathyR,
Thank you for your feedback on the BRAVIA XR8B. We are very pleased to hear that you are enjoying the great picture quality, but we certainly understand your frustration with the TV turning off and rebooting unexpectedly—that is not the experience we intend for you to have.
To help resolve this unusual behavior, please attempt the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Update Software: Ensure your television is running the latest software by going to Settings > System > About > System Software.
2. Disable BRAVIA Sync: Temporarily turn off the BRAVIA Sync function by navigating to Settings > Channels and Inputs > External Inputs > BRAVIA Sync Settings > BRAVIA Sync control set to off.
3. Enable Simple IP Control: Turn on the Simple IP control feature in Settings > Network and Internet > Home Network > IP control > Simple IP control.
If these steps do not stop the unexpected restarts, we strongly recommend reaching out to our dedicated technical support team for further assistance and diagnosis:
Sony Technical Support: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv
We appreciate your patience and look forward to getting this resolved so you can fully enjoy the incredible picture quality of your BRAVIA XR8B.
Thank you for considering Sony products!

Customer Service?????????
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased and paid for a Sony TV, and mounting bracket in the store. It was not in stock. I then received an email my order was ready for pickup. I went back to the store to get it. I was then told the TV was in the store but had not been processed. It would be ready in an hour. I waited the hour and was then told they couldn’t find it. I left the store. Later that day I received an email my order was delayed. I called ame the service representative had no idea why it was delayed or when it would arrive. But promised to escalate my request and assured me I would receive a callback within 24-48 hours. That was six days ago. I’m still waiting.

Sorry and lousy app TV.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the sorriest TV I think I have ever owned. I can’t seem to get much to work right on it. It won’t let me sign in at all and I am putting the correct passcode in. I downloaded an app and watched about an hour and a half of 3-30 minute shows, and then went to buffering and the screen turned black, and now every time I open that particular app, the screen stays black, but doesn’t buffer anymore. I don’t understand why the app worked before, but it doesn’t now. I hooked up a DVD player to it, put in a disc, turned on the DVD player, pressed the input button on the TV remote control like I’m supposed to, and nothing happened. As far as I’m concerned these app TV’s are absolutely worthless and useless in my opinion and experience of them, and I would not recommend them to anyone. I have had nothing but trouble with this thing ever since the Best Buy Geek Squad set it up for me and not too much works properly on it. I’ve hooked the accessories up properly and can’t get it to show up on the TV at all. I sign in correctly and it won’t let me sign in. I just have to say, these app TV’s are really sorry in my honest opinion. I even had a Best Buy supervisor to print me off some instructions on how to operate and navigate the thing and that’s not even enough.

Posted .Hi ChrisH,
We are truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with your K-65XR8B television. Dealing with new technology can certainly be challenging, and we understand how disappointing it is when a product doesn’t work as smoothly as expected right out of the box.
We want to help get your TV running properly so you can enjoy the incredible picture quality the BRAVIA series is known for. We have compiled troubleshooting steps below that should resolve these specific issues you're dealing with.
For App & Buffering Issues:
1. Power Cycle the TV: To clear out any temporary software glitches, please restart your TV by unplugging it from the power outlet for two minutes, and then plug it back in.
2. Check Network Strength: If an app starts buffering, the Wi-Fi signal may be weak. Please confirm your TV is connected and getting 'excellent' strength by navigating to Settings > Network and Internet.
3. Update TV Software: Ensure your TV has the latest updates for stability by selecting Settings > System > About > System software update.
4. Clear App Cache & Data: Since the app used to work, clearing its stored data often resolves the issue. Go to Settings > Apps > Search for the app > Select it, then look for Clear Data and Clear Cache, and press OK.
For Input Selection (DVD Player):
The correct way to switch to your DVD player is crucial:
- Press the Input button on your Sony remote control (the button typically has a TV icon with an arrow pointing to the right).
- A list of inputs will appear on the screen. You must then use the directional pad to select the specific HDMI port your DVD player is plugged into (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2) and press the OK button to switch the screen over.
For Sign-In Issues:
We recommend carefully double-checking your password entry. Most sign-in issues are resolved by ensuring you are respecting the exact capitalization, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols of your password or user ID.
If you require personalized, step-by-step guidance through any of these troubleshooting steps, or if the issues persist, please reach out to our dedicated technical support team directly. They specialize in walking customers through navigation and setup:

Beware- From a loyal Sony customer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only buy Sony TV's ( I am almost 60) so I am sad to report that this has been a nightmare. My TV's sound is out of sync with the people talking on the screen. I have a sound bar; I have tried all the fixes and trouble shooting supplied by Sony on their site; nothing has worked long term. Meaning after restarting it's better for awhile but continues to get out of sync again. Finally, I give up and go to my old Sony in my bedroom. My long relationship with Sony is over.
