FAQs

What is the Cognitive Processor XR?

The Cognitive Processor XR is Sony's advanced processing engine that aims to replicate how humans see and hear. It simultaneously cross-analyzes numerous picture elements, such as color, contrast, and clarity, and sound elements, to enhance everything you watch and listen to for a more realistic and immersive experience.

How does Acoustic Surface Audio Plus work?

Acoustic Surface Audio Plus uses special actuators behind the screen to vibrate it subtly, turning the entire screen into a multi-channel speaker. This allows sound to come directly from where the action is on screen, creating a highly immersive audio experience that matches the visuals.

Can I install any app on Google TV?

You can install most apps available on the Google Play Store that are compatible with the Android TV platform. This includes popular streaming services, media players, and some utility apps. Specific app availability may vary.

Is this TV good for next-gen gaming consoles?

Yes, with its 4K Ultra HD resolution, dedicated Game Menu, and support for features like VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) via HDMI 2.1, this TV is excellent for next-gen gaming consoles, providing smooth and responsive gameplay.

How should I clean the screen?

For best results, gently wipe the screen with a clean, soft, dry microfiber cloth. If there are stubborn smudges, you can lightly dampen the cloth with distilled water or a cleaning solution specifically designed for TV screens. Avoid spraying any liquid directly onto the screen.

What does Energy Efficiency Class G mean?

The Energy Efficiency Class G is part of the EU energy labeling system. For a TV of this size and advanced features, 'G' indicates a higher energy consumption compared to smaller, less feature-rich models, but it is a common classification for large-format, high-performance TVs.

Troubleshooting

No picture or sound

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and the wall outlet. Ensure the correct input source (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.) is selected on the TV. Test with another device or try a different HDMI cable.

Remote control is not responding

Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and have charge. Point the remote directly at the TV's IR sensor. If issues persist, try re-pairing the remote if it's a Bluetooth remote.

Google TV apps are slow or not loading

Check your internet connection speed and stability. Try restarting the TV by unplugging it from the power for 60 seconds. Clear the cache for the problematic app via TV settings (Settings > Apps > Select app > Clear cache).

Gaming input lag or picture tearing

Ensure your game console is connected to an HDMI 2.1 port. Verify that 'Game Mode' is enabled and that VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) are activated in the TV's Game Menu settings, if your console supports them.

No sound from Acoustic Surface Audio Plus

Check the TV's audio settings to ensure Acoustic Surface Audio Plus is enabled. Verify that the TV's speakers are selected as the audio output and not an external sound system that might be disconnected.
