Sony Wega lamp problems

I have a KDF 42 - WE655 and just learned that Sony has designed this TV with a lamp that will eventually have to be replaced because it is, after all, a fire. According to the Sony Technical Support team, it could be anywhere from 6 months to 4 years after the purchase. Perhaps this insignificant (Yes, that's sarcasm) intelligence should have been written in large letters on the front of the display model in the store when I bought this TV, you know something has say, "hey guys, Yes, you, the guy who is about to dump the $2,000 on a poorly designed TV, you will have to pay an additional amount of $230 every 6 to 48 months on a new lamp... oh, and don't forget to learn to. disassemble your TV to replace it. "If I knew, I would have bought a Samsung like everyone else I don't know. How is it that my TV tube 20 years still works fine, but the new technology that has come with a price tag of $2 k needs a replacement of the lamp. And why would I dump $230 in TV (and need to disassemble my TV) when I could put that money toward a brand that does not have the thousands of complaints I read on Sony Wegas and some other Sony TV (to stay anonymous for purposes of this post). I am very disappointed with my purchase. Not to sell a TV that has a life expectancy of 6 months to 48 months and not tell the poor SAP who throw hard earned money to buy it. Never buy Sony.

I am also angry about this problem of lamp. Television has exploded at around 02:00. All football games are on today, can not find a bulb anywhere! Been looking for a new sony tv, one bigger. I'll change the brand this time. IKNOW I can order online, but it takes 3-5 working days, maybe more to do!

    Have a HD Sony Wega KDF E60A20 TV that loses the sound and picture for a bout a minute then light up again.

    I'm sorry to hear what is happening with your TV. I need more information about the problem you are having with the unit. When the TV loses sound and the image is there any light that flashes on the control panel of your TV (e.g. lamp, timer or power)? What is the video source connected to the TV?

    Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the TV.

    A power reset.

    1 turn off the TV.
    2. unplug the power cord of the TV from the power outlet.
    3. let the TV remain without power for 60 seconds.
    4 plug the power cord into the power outlet.
    5. turn on the TV.

    If the problem persists, try to pull up the TV menu when the sound and the image is lost, just press the Wega door button on the supplied remote control. See the menu? Note If there is no light, which will blink on the Panel of the TV when the problem occurs.

  • reflection on the sony vaio screen problem

    I bought sony vaio F1521KSNB and I m thinking of problem facing the screen.

    Please tell how to avoid glare on the screen.

    I suggest you only look at the location of your computer in relation to external light sources.  Try to find a better job or placement for your screen that help decrease some of the glare.  Much like the outdoor light, lamps can cause glare too.  You can also consider adjusting the brightness and contrast of your computer.  For more information on your computer we recommend contacting Sony's Support Center in your area at http://www.sony-asia.com/section/support for your model computer Asia Pacific.

  • Sony Mediago installation problems

    I recently bought a Sony Walkman.  Downloaded the Walkman guide successfully since the walkman via USB connection.  But had problems with Media go. I called the hotline and gave the link to download from the internet.  I managed to download, but not install.  The Green install bar fills almost immediately (while it is generally quite progressive - in line with the speed of installation).  And as he goes.  I tried several times and come back later quite awhile to my laptop and the situation does not change.  The taskbar is always 'unpacking '!  If I try and cancel, I can't - the 'installation' process is frozen.  The only way out is to close my computer, which takes more time than usual "installation" something is slowing the process.  I'm not IT savvy, know although a bit. I have run scans and don't seem to have any virus etc. Can someone help?  My OS is Windows XP, SP2.

    I googled how to check for errors in Event Viewer.  I got to the event viewer, but as I said, I'm not IT savvy and don't know how to interpret the data.

    I know how to do the little control panel and don't see listed mediago.

    I already have the link that you gave me.

    No doubt I should be able to download a program of good reputation without disabling the AV etc?  I'm afraid to do something stupid!

    The last suggestion - I don't know how to do.  First, it is said to add the installation of applications on desktop - where I would find it.

    I checked with Sony and the walkman is compatible with Windows vista.  The packaging says Vista SP1, even if I have SP2.  This would necessarily make a difference in low load capacity...

    I am grateful for your advice, but it might be better to stop there?  I think I need more IT experience to benefit from your help!.

    Sorry,

    This shows how to use Event Viewer

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html

    When you open the event viewer

    Click on the > next to Windows logs

    Click on the > next to the Application log

    In the lower center pane, you will see a general tab and a Details tab

    Error will result in a message in the lower window as well as

    The journal name

    Source

    Event ID

    Event log online help link

    You must select the error that coincided with the approximate time that you are trying to install Mediago.  Click on the details tab which can have Mediago listed in the details of the error.

    Repeat installation Mediago, then open the event viewer if the installation fails.  Error should show immediately in Application or log files

    Sometimes the AV software and firewalls interfere with download / install.  Deactivation will be during the time it takes to install the application.  If you save it on the desktop, your software can have a scan option in your right click menu.

    Right click on the file that you saved and select ' scan this file. "

    It will determine if the file is safe

    When you click Download, you should be able to select Save as

    A window will open and you can Browse and select Office to save the download to

    See the illustration

    The file will be there until you double-click it to execute an installation process

  • Sony A7s. Problems in accordance with 59.94 to 23.976

    Hello

    I'm trying to change / interpret the film to run backwards in slow motion.  I did this for years without problem but this is the first time I cut with images of Sony A7s. As usual, I go into the Ctrl click the clip browser > edit > film and change my pace.


    It works fine on some clips and other elements, it looks that I slowed down just an old normal 24 fps clip... This ugly choppy playback where all between them frames are missing.

    So far, the difference only that I can locate is the file format.  Here is a sample of two clips, the info is in the first clip properties.

    Clips that do not conform correctly

    PRIVATE/M4ROOT/CLIP/C0023. MP4

    Type: MPEG Movie

    File size: 1.6 GB

    Image size: 1920 x 1080

    Frame rate: 59.94

    Clips which conform well

    private/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00003.MTS

    Type: MPEG Movie

    File size: 136.9 MB

    Image size: 1920 x 1080

    Frame rate: 59.94

    It is obviously not like that. MP4 or M4ROOT

    Does anyone have a work around or any technical explanation of what is to distinguish it. MP4 to others?

    I also tried to conform in the tools of cinema but which does not recognize. Clips MP4 and it will not open them.


    Any help, advice or links would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    I know this is an old thread that's been newly posted on, but I thought I would add that first now has a somewhat hidden feature is awesome. You can slow down even the film 24 p on a 24 p to 50% timeline and it remains fairly smooth using the new option of "Optical flow" first. It is in the drop-down list of the speed/duration settings. Choose which rendered and reading. R! Could save you the hassle of doing all these steps that you just mentioned to slow things smoothly. In any case, wear...

  • SONY NEX 5 - problem with setting of the shutter speed shutter priority mode

    Hello

    I strictly followed the instructions in the manual, but when I'm in the mode S (shutter priority mode), by the rotation of the wheel there is no change in the shutter speed and I don't know why.

    On the screen, above the wheel icon is written Tv.

    Please, advice me how to solve the problem. In that I'm wrong.

    The same situation that I have and with the Apperture mode.

    Thank you!

    HI ILesishki,

    I apologize for the inconvenience that was done to you. Let me see if I can help. I suggest the initialization of the device to its default settings to solve the problem. Just click on the Menu button, then choose Setup. Go to main settings and look for reset default. After the reset, turn the camera and see if the problem is still there.

    If so, I suggest to send the camera in for service. I recommend that you visit our Sony Global Web site for more information on contacting the Sony's Support centre in your area to http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

  • SONY LCD TV problem

    Hello. I bought the SONY Bravia 32 inch EX300 TV in December end 2010 with a lot of hope and performance of Sony quality and service will all be good. After 3 years now suddenly pannel has 1 white pot and its size is increseaing every day more far I observed the ripples/air bubbles in my LCD screen. I locked the complaint to the customer service and they said a technician will visit place you. The next day I received a call from the local centre of sevice to Guwahati in Assam, you must bring your TV in our Center and we will not come. More far by listening to the problem, he has said you pannel is damaged and it will cost around 20000 rupees /-... It's really pathetic, both in terms of service and the quality of the product. Is easy to carrly suc a great TV to after-sales service. and if I have to pay 20000 /-for 2 to 3 years then my TV ost will be huge. I feel like cheated by SONY as my friends who brought SAMSUNG and others brandds with me got it with a good image quality. I saw on the net that this problem is fairly steady with sony LCD TVs. I don't know if Sony has sold defective TV in India? They should fall back with the clean solution and the pannel free replacement if the TV is faulty when buying the showroom guy says that you will only see one problem until 15 to 20 years in the Sony TV. Even my friends are not facing any problem in other brands of televisions for the past 5 years. I paid more when buying the SONY TV and cheated with no service and the worst quality product. Product of Rs 37 and 38 thousands then last only 3 years.

    I have the same problem with my BX300. SONY, this forum, it seems that this series of televisions are problematic, and if yes, you must shine the light on it. Too many clients are complaining about the same problem with the same product. It can't be a coincidence!

  • Projection KDF-50E2000 lamp problem

    I replaced the projection lamp in our KDF-50E2000 after it finally bit the dust (after a warning for the few months that he was approaching the end of life).

    The replacement was easy, but now it will not come. I still three lights flash. I cleaned the connectors and all (they were a little dusty) and followed all the steps described in the owner's manual.

    Suggestions from here? Is there a reset button, I'm missing? How will I know if the spare bulb that I ordered is any good?

    Thanks in advance,

    The point on this issue. I took the bulb and put it in the former habitat. The TV came on, but only briefly. I give it a rest and I tried again and it came long enough for me access the menu and say we had replaced the lamp, then poof, off again.

  • Sony WEGA to Direct TV connection

    People,

    I had a hard time hang my TV Sony [5 years] to a Directv receiver, which is about 22 feet more far. DirecTV tells me the length of the cable must be short, otherwise it won't work. I never heard such a thing. But for some strange reason, I used to connect to the receiver via a composite cable while he was well under the receiver. How to make this work without having to rent another receiver from them? I keep the old receiver to connect to a flat screen set. Your feedback is greatly in demand.

    VRAO

  • Sony HDR - HC9 problems with Premiere elements 9

    If I have problems getting my HDV camcorder recognized by Elements 9.

    When setting up my project I choose the correct settings to my knowledge (PAL HDV 1080i 25) but when I go to import media from him he told me there is no connected equipment. It is found in the regular DV section but not in the HDV format.

    When I set it up to be a DV project it has no image on screen when importing media (probably because it is recorded in the HDV format)

    I am only using the trial version to make sure that it aorks all before you buy. I would like to use this software, because that's what I've used in the past, with older cameras etc.

    Someone knows how to solve this problem, or what may be the problem?

    You mentioned that Premiere Elements recognizes your camera when get you the DV camcorder media, correct? This means that your camera in the camera settings are on DV instead of HDV.

    You can check this by going to the options in the menu of your camera, then switch to set camera and check the settings of the video recorder. It should be instead of DV HDV.
