Troubleshooting

Updating...

In order to keep your TV software up-to-date, it is necessary to download the latest software information via the digital broadcasting system or internet and to update the software. Select [Update Now] to start a software update. The illumination LED flashes white while the software is updating. The following screen with [Updating…] will appear while software is updating.

Do not unplug the AC power cord (mains lead) during the software update. If you do, the software update may not finish completely, and it may cause a software malfunction. Software updates can take up to 30 minutes. If you do not wish to update the software automatically, press HOME and select [Help]  [System software update]  [Automatic software download]  [Off]. When you plug in TV, the TV may not be able to turn on for a while even if you press the power button on the remote control or the TV, because it takes time to initialize the system. Wait for about one minute, then operate it again. When you turn on by pressing the power button on the remote control or the TV, it takes some time to turn on the illumination LED and for the remote control to be functional.

When the illumination LED is flashing in red, count how many times it flashes (interval time is three seconds).

If the illumination LED flashes red, reset the TV by disconnecting the AC power cord (mains lead) for two minutes, then turn on the TV. If the problem persists, contact your dealer or Sony service centre with the number of times the illumination LED flashes red (interval time is three seconds). Disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), and inform your dealer or Sony service centre.

When the illumination LED is not flashing, check the items as follows.

You can also refer to troubleshooting in the Help Guide or perform self-diagnosis by selecting [Help]  [Self diagnostics]. If the problem persists, have your TV serviced by qualified service personnel.
