      Hi WaltH,

      Thanks for purchasing the BRAVIA XR 85" Z9J TV. We're extremely pleased to hear you are very amazed with its incredible picture and sound quality. We're sorry to learn you've been running into difficulty with the led/light fixtures interfering with the remote control's functionality. Be sure to consider the following if the remote control does not operate properly:

      • Point the remote control at the remote control sensor located at the front of the TV.
      • Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
      • Fluorescent light can interfere with remote control operation; try turning off any fluorescent light.
      • Check that the orientation of each battery matches the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols in the battery compartment.

      Hi Annie,

      We're delighted to hear you appreciate the incredible picture quality of your new Bravia TV. We're sorry to hear if you are experiencing slowdown or a slight delay when switching inputs or other features on your Google TV. If this happens, please try one of the following methods to resolve this issue:

      • To make sure your TV runs as smooth as possible, we highly recommend downloading and installing the latest software for the TV. For instructions, refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/xr-85z9j/downloads
      • We also recommend doing a soft reset. press and hold the POWER button of the remote control for about 5 seconds until a message Power off appears. TV reboots automatically. Wait for approximately one minute, and the TV will turn back on. Make sure your issue has been resolved.
      • Is your HDMI signal format set to Enhanced? If this function is not really needed, we can set this back to Standard Format. This should speed up source switching.
      To change the HDMI signal format setting, press the (Quick Settings) button on the remote control, then select [Settings] — [Channels & Inputs] — [External inputs] — [HDMI signal format].

      Explore the world with a TV that elevates everything you watch. Powered by the all-new Cognitive Processor XR™, the BRAVIA XR Z9J transforms your content into near-8K quality for incredibly real and immersive pictures. Having said that, picture quality also depends on the signal and content. In any case that you need our assistance or more information about your product, please contact our Product Support team through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US.

      Thank you so much for purchasing our 85" Z9J and for choosing Sony!

      Hi study,

      Great! We're truly happy to hear you like the excellent picture this TV delivers. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Content and signal quality are regulated by the signal provider. Many HD channels and content are actually upscaled versions of standard-definition broadcasts. The picture is affected by the quality of the signal received, which varies between channel and program. If you are getting poor reception or poor picture quality with digital broadcasts, refer to the link here for more information: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/iusltn1/v1/en-003/08-04_07.html

      Hi Christina,

      We're glad to hear you appreciate the overall picture quality of your Z9J. Whatever the content or source, you'll enjoy entertainment close to 8K resolution with XR 8K Upscaling. We're sorry, but 8K signal is only supported by HDMI IN 4 port on this model. For optimum performance, use an Ultra High Speed HDMI™ Cable that supports 48 Gbps, then set the HDMI signal format for the HDMI 4 port to Enhanced format (4K120, 8K). Please note that Upscaled, simulated and enhanced 8K images will vary based on source content.

      For additional details regarding what functions are supported on each of the HDMI terminals on your Google TV, refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/xr-85z9j/articles/00194995

    I have 6 Sony TVs in my house and recently upgraded my 85" Z8H 8K to the Z9J 85". I really didn't expect much difference but was wrong, the Z9J is a huge improvement and absolutely stunning. It is super bright and the picture quality is mind blowing, even watching old content like Seinfeld. I am extremely pleased with the Z9J.
