Sony Tv Updates Downloads

  
It's fair to say the AV world isn’t having a great time of it right now, at least where the software part of its business is concerned. Over the past few months I’ve covered an endless stream of botched firmware updates, including most recently a massively overdue Dolby Vision TV update which, um, didn’t actually play Dolby Vision from any external sources.

Owners of Sony X900E and many other Sony ranges are experiencing an infuriating audio problem since they received Sony's most recent software update.

For instance, a user with a Sony 65X900E reports that when he starts playing any program on his Tivo Vox Mini box, his TV suddenly and inexplicably emits a loud beep that lasts for around a second. An owner of a 55X930E reports that when he switches from the Apps section on his TiVo Bolt to Live TV, the same loud beep occurs. Two Spectrum Cable users with Sony 55X900E TVs report that since the update, their TVs let out the gratingly loud beep every time they try to fast forward, rewind or pause their Spectrum DVRs.

Another 65X900E owner with a Dish DVR reports the sudden appearance of the loud beep whenever he switches out of the Dish DVR or deletes a recorded program. Similar issues apply to a Sony 65X750D owner in Canada using a Bell PVR.

So it goes on across 15 pages (and counting) of Sony’s US TV community forum. And it becomes clear across these pages (given the range of different cable boxes affected together and the fact that the problems only started following Sony’s January firmware update) that the irritating beeps are clearly an issue with Sony’s firmware rather than anything to do with the cable boxes.

This set of categories relates to the four-domain approach of circles of social life, and.Steger compares the current study of globalization to the. Dimensions of globalization pdf. Similar to the blind scholars, some globalization scholars are too focused on compacting globalization into a singular process and clashes over “which aspect of social life constitutes its primary domain” prevail. David Held's book is organized around the same dimensions, though the ecological is not listed in the title.

Indeed, Sony acknowledges on its forums that its engineering teams are aware of the problem, and has posted a page of workarounds for people to try.

One workaround that seems to work for some is toggling the sound output from their cable boxes between Dolby and PCM audio, suggesting that it’s a problem with the TV’s handling of Dolby audio. For others, though, shifting down the output resolution of their cable box does the trick.

These solutions doesn’t seem to work/aren’t available for everyone, though - and having to compromise the performance of your cable/satellite box is hardly an optimal approach!

It’s interesting to note that the issue doesn’t just crop up on Sony TVs with Dolby Vision-capable X1 Extreme chipsets. Those with Sony’s older, standard X1 chipset (which can’t handle Dolby Vision) are also affected.

I have also received confirmation since first publishing this article that Sony's A1E OLED TVs are also affected by the beeping bug.

I’ve approached Sony for comment, and will update this story if/when I hear back. Hopefully they will be able to confirm a post on their Community Forums suggesting a mid to end February fix.

In the mean time, Sony has revealed this week that it can no longer confirm to European Sony TV owners when the ill-fated Dolby Vision software update might start to roll out there. Which isn't really surprising in the circumstances!
