8 blinks on KDL-46EX720

After 2 months of using my sony suddenly would not start correctly. on switching on, it would pass by the usual process but, it does not meet any button (remote or on the side of the TV).
Then it would just reboot and go through the same process.

When I turn it off, I'd get 8 flashes on the standby light.

any idea whats up with my LED TV?

much appreciated!

  • SONY KDL-46EX720 subtitles problem

    I bought a Sony KDL-46EX720 a year ago to the Portugal. I remember viewing a movie hollow files usb port and it worked fine, except for the subtitles that had a strange police which made impossible subtitles to read (I remember, we had the opportunity to choose among 4 fonts but they were all the same). Since then, I stopped watching movies tray usb and used other methods (connection via hdmi on the pc). Today I have the Tv connected to the internet (ethernet port) for the first time and did the updates (successfully, update version: PKG4.017EUA - 0104). I tried to watch a movie with subtitles (.srt format both .sub, same name as the video file) and I could just find the option to turn on the subtitles. I tried 4 color buttons and the button subtitle, with return error: function not available for the current mode (translated from Portuguese). I looked in all the menus and I have not found that everything about the subtitles/configuration section. I searched the Sony site, etc., and I can simply find an answer... How can I activate/config the subtitles to work with my movie from the usb port files? Thank you

    Hello JohnnyDuke,

    Welcome to the community of Sony.

    Subtitles (.srt) .ts and .m2ts video file formats are not supported by USB playback. Therefore, unable to display subtitles. This is a normal operation.

  • How to connect the keyboard wireless for Sony KDL - 46EX720 TV

    I'm trying to connect i8 Rii Mini Wireless keyboard on my Sony KDL-46EX720 TV.  The IIR is shipped with a USB receiver that connects to a USB port on the back of the TV.  When I insert the USB, the States of TV receiver, "not taken USB device support".  A keyboard from another manufacturer can be connected to my TV?  I don't have a Sony VAIO laptop.  Any keyboard may be connected wireless, except with Sony VAIO?

    Hello...  Anyone here?  This should be a simple question to answer...

    So, while we wait...

    Is there a software patch that will reach or enable support for a USB receiver (device USB not supported 'States' TV currently) connect a keyboard or mouse wireless web TV KDL-46EX720?  If there is a "patch", please provide a link to it.  And if there is, including model Sony web wireless keyboard would need to buy to make this connection?  Please provide a link to it EVEN IF IT IS NOT AVAILABLE any LONGER.  I'll find one.  Once again, I don't have a Sony VAIO laptop and wish not to buy one.  I have four computers in my house, that is, two offices and two laptops.

    Please NOTE:  I have a LAN adapter that is connected to the right (top) USB port at the back of the TV.  For the keyboard/mouse USB receiver, I need to use the free USB port (bottom).

  • 3D on an EX720

    Hello, I recently got a KDL-46EX720 and have noticed some problems with the 3D. Content 'pack-framework', as in Sen, is fine. Maybe there's a little flicker, but otherwise it's great. However, my cable box cable, Verizon FIOS and Xbox 360 only output 3D side by side mode, and this is where the problem starts.

    Returned in mode side by side images show an effect 'double vision' on the bottom and the top of the screen. It's probably about 10% of the top and bottom where the ghost images or duplicate. Sometimes, some things that are very "near" or "far" also double. I tried to play with the 3D depth adjustment, but this just makes the doubling with near where distant objects. 0, the default, is the best. I tried all the other parameters without result.

    I was wondering if maybe it's a problem of software/translation and if it can be solved in the future updates. Given that stuff 'package framework' is fine (the stuff that your TV 3D-side by side is not auto-commutateurs), I know that this is not a defect. I also pack chassis that 3D is the preferred format of Sony used by readers Blu Ray and PS3.

    However, Sony has always been great to adapt and conversion upward many signals from many sources, so I'm surprised to see the side by side so badly translated. It will be possible to upgrade the software that manages the 3D side by side or a codec? I would like to get a PS3 later, but this does not solve the problem with my cable provider. Everything they offer is side by side, and there is no Sony cable box that I know. I already have an event on this subject, E50722000 ID and I learned on this very helpful Rep 3D chassis packaging especially I write right here to learn more and hopefully encourage the update process along.


  • KDL-55HX750 red light blinks 3 times

    My TV no longer works, it feeds on. that it snaps and then the power light turns RED and flashes 3 times repeatedly. Please help me, cause I can't believe I have to pay so much to replace the main Board.

  • KDL-70r550a picture pauses from time to time

    I just bought this 70 "tv, #KDL - 70R550A, for my home theater and for the first two days I was pleased with the quality of the image. However, after that the screen would reduce and turn it back on every time some time, as the TV flickered. The sound is not affected. The flashing lights at random and sometimes do it 4 or 5 times in 10 minutes approximately. It doesn't matter if I'm watching a Bluray, DVD or games. I checked the firmware and it's the latest on the Sony Web site.

    It becomes very annoying. I tried to reset the TV, changed different image modes and off motionflow, changed different CineMotion, but it has not changed. It was also very inconvenient when we watched a movie with our guests last weekend. They asked if we bought a refurbished tv!

    I have rehooked man of Vizio LCD to see if this flashing problem was due to some loose connections. The last 2 days this Vizio never blinked, nor is he already done it in the past.

    Because the TV is used in my home theater, it served only as a monitor, so all the sounds are diverted to my 7.1 speakers. The TV is connected via a HDMI cable to 25PI, high speed with ethernet v1.4, to a Denon AVR 2807 receiver. All my A / V components are hooked to the receiver. All video signals are converted to 1080 p via the receiver, regardless of the resolutions. This setting has never been changed since home cinema has been implemented.

    I googled the problem but could not find anyone with the same problem. I read the Support section of the Sony Web site and found that video problems may result from the use of a receiver. Although he did not indicate what types of problem. She says that maybe some amplifier/receiver is not compatible with the Sony TV.

    I found this counter intuitive that a receiver is not compatible with this Sony TV. Avoid all the problems of compatibility with all brands. It's like saying that I have a Sony DVD player for watching a DVD from Sony.

    I hope a Sony technician or someone could show me how to solve this problem quickly. If I can't get this fix in 2 weeks, this TV is going back to the store and the end of my 30 years of support of Sony.

    Donghun - please try the following steps:

    NOTE: This solution will also apply if the photo or video is blinking and triggering intermittently.

    If there is no picture and the TV screen is completely black, it may be a loose connection or incorrect setting. To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

    IMPORTANT:

    • This solution assumes that the BD drive is connected directly to the TV. However, if the BD player is connected to an Audio/video (A / V) receiver, the steps below about TV should also be followed for A / V receiver.
    • If the model-specific information is required to complete any of these steps, see the instructions supplied with the product. Manuals are available online through the manuals/Specs/warranty link on this page.
    1. Make sure that the TV is set to the video input appropriate to receive the signal of the BD player.

      NOTE: Depending on your TV remote control, the remote control may have a button TV/VIDEO or INPUTS that can change the video input of the TV.

    2. Check that the video output of the BD drive setting is set to Auto or the type of connection used.
    3. If the problem is not resolved, turn the comics and TV player.
    4. Check the cable between the comics and TV drive to ensure that it is correctly connected to the two products.

      NOTE: For HDMI® connections, try the following steps:

    1. Turn off the power on the drive of BD and the connected equipment.
    2. Disconnect, then reconnect the HDMI cable.
    3. Re-turn on the power to the connected equipment.
    4. Turn on the power for the BD drive.
    5. In the configuration settings of the screen/video, set the BD / DVD - ROM 1080/24 p output OFF.
    6. Set the output HDMI Deep Color off.
    7. Together the X.V. color output OFF (this option is not available on some models).
    8. Make sure that the HDMI control parameter is set to Off. If you use a non sony BD player, this parameter can be called control AnyNet function or CEC.
  • If the problem is still not resolved, try to reduce output resolution by using one of the following methods:
    1. The supplied remote control, press twice on the button (available only for some models) VIDEO FORMAT.
    2. On the front of the BD drive, hold down the STOP button for about 10 seconds.

      NOTE: Some TVs connected with an HDMI cable may not bear a 1080 p signal. If the BD player's output a 1080 p signal, lowering the output resolution can solve the problem.

  • See the software/driver from the site Web Sony® support for firmware updates.
  • If a firmware update is listed, follow the instructions in order to acquire the update.
  • If the problem is not resolved, try to replace the cable between the comics and TV player.

  • Screen freezes and blinks after the update to 10.11.6

    Hello!

    I have a Macbook Pro for mid-2007, which has helped a lot, was powerful and as stable as steel. I've never had or known major bugs since I have. Leopard 10.5 aka El Capitan 10.11.5, nothing to notice. The usual Mac you need: solid, stable and fast. I have an IntelCore 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM, Samsung SSD 840 series, the old Fujitsu HDD for storage and a Nvidia GeForce 8600 M GT graphics chipset.

    But the nightmare started when install the last update of El Capitan: OS 10.11.6. Update was fast enough, just half an hour, and I'm going, with the last update. I was browsing Safari then my screen blinked once, and all that was displayed was frozen, except the mouse I could be moved. 10 seconds or about later, my system of defrost and I could use it. Until less than a minute later, new flashes and freeze again. And he began to be more bizarre than ever: Safari window displaying strange patterns, with little colored squares, bar menus, very noisy. Hard, I rebooted my Macbook Pro, hoped it was just a random bug. But no, it has reproduced, forever and ever, when browsing in Safari. So I decided to switch to Opera web browser just for a test day. And... nothing happened. No bugs, no frost, no flashing screens. I found the source of this Safari bug, so I went to the opera.

    Until yesterday, when you use the Finder to display images using Quicklook. Flashes and the gel. When you are using TweetDeck, same result, flashes & freeze. Even if you use Opera when scrolling too fast: flashes and the screen. When you use presentation and Launchpad. And if this bug to reproduce twice, the display shows a strange patterns, such as Cup-a part of windows, bar menu invisible, etc..

    It's VERY BORING. It is the first time in 8 years of work with Mac OS X, I have experienced this kind of graphic bug. The last time I encounter some bugs graphics but much more discreet, and it's in 2008 with OS 10.5.3, which was not very stable (the next version is much more stable).

    I know this has something to do with the Nvidia driver. The same lines are appearing in the newspapers when the bug happens, like this:

    > 31/07/2016 10:50:47, 000 kernel [0]: NVDA (OpenGL): exception channel! exception type = 0xd = graphic engine (GR error 5) error

    I don't want to hear that this has something to do with the graphic chipset, because before the 10.11.6 updated, I had NO gel or flashes of the screen at all. I had never actually had. And the motherboard has been replaced in 2010 because the chipset was dead.

    So, I don't know what to do. I guess I'll have to wait a few months the 10.11.7 next update, hoping that he can solve the display bug. And I wouldn't be able to install Sierra because... Well, my Macbook Pro is too old, so I'm stuck with El Capitan (but that's another story).

    Thanks in advance if you have any tips that might help.

    It is difficult to say if this is indeed caused by the last update or a (chance) sign is not material. You might be able to work around the problem by installing the gfxCardSatusand forcing your MacBook to use the GPU integrated or discreet, but not automatically switch between them.

    In the case where this is caused by 33 incompatible Firefox with your software driver graphics card/chipset, could test you for a while in Mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few other advanced features of Firefox. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

    You can disable hardware acceleration for all modes in the Options dialog box.

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again.

  • Blinking cursor in line while scrolling

    This problem has happened since I downloaded Firefox a few days ago. My problem is that when I scroll, a cursor blinking line thing or whatever is called spoil my scrolling to the bottom of pages. Instead the page just a little more each time I push the bottom and to the top of the arrow keys on my keyboard, the page instead jumps just at the top or bottom and every time he jumps, that thing little blinking line is still there (when I say "this thing little flashing line" I mean this flashing line that is always there when you) type something.). I have no idea how disable it (and Yes, I tried pushing the F7 key) and the thing becomes angry and I can't scroll pages of my site because of it. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello Nickc15, if you can leave caret browsing through the F7 key, tell him instead: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named accessibility.browsewithcaret. Double-click it, change its value to false and restart the browser eventually.

  • FaceTime Camera: the green light next to the camera makes a slow blink, and there is no picture

    MacBook (retina, 12 inch, early 2015) El Capitan 10.11.5 now ongoing enforcement.

    Whenever I try to access the camera FaceTime (FaceTime, Photo Booth Apps) the green light next to the camera made a slow blink, and there is no picture.

    The system report > camera > model ID: Apple camera VendorID_0x106B ProductID_0x1570

    The numbers of the vendor and the product are correct?

    The camera worked for 6 months passed and I used FaceTime several times without problem.  Several users are affected.

    None of the recent changes to the system.

    Since the problem began, I have:

    (1) installed Skype to see if one application other than an Apple app had a camera problem. Skype has no camera or.

    (2) improved 10.10.4 to El Capitan Yosemite.  Hoping that the upgrade would reload the application Face Time.   No change in symptoms

    (3) reinstalled the El Capitan using the OS X Internet recovery.  I have not used the time Machine.

    (Note for everyone, it was simple and painless and does not need to reinstall applications.)  I want to reinstall MS OS was too simple)

    (4) several other threads suggested to reset NVRAM and SMC memory, even if they do not seem to be associated with the prob. who - without success here tried either
