I recently bought a 46" Sony Bravia LCD and Sony AV receiver 910 model to take advantage of the Theatre sync features of the 2 Sony units. They are linked by HDMI cable. I can access the TV's OSD but cannot get the OSD to appear on the TV in order to turn on the Theatre sync feature on the receiver. From reviews on the unit, it appears to be an ongoing problem getting the OSD to show on the TV. Tried to follow the manuals with both units with no luck. The online chat with Sony as a 2 hour waste of time.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Depending on the models of your units, there are some software/firmware upgrades for specific units to adresss this particular problem. Check the Sony website under support to see if any software/firmware upgrades are available.
Also, go to the HDMI menu and make sure the TV is sensing the receiver is connected. There is a "look for devices" choice in the menu. If the device is not found, it could be the connected device, the cable or the TV. I know this isn't much help, but troubleshooting CEC problems is not easy.
Sony has always been very good about the quality products that work well. That has not changed in this case either. The Sony may not be the best AV receiver we've reviewed, but still a very good product. With its unique capabilities in 3D, may be the only option for some people. Since 3D is not the norm but visually, it could justify the opening of a weighting function that exists in the score. Maybe a couple of years from now it will not happen, but until then, Sony will release a newer model and still can not reach the top.http://www.thesonyworld.com/sony-av-rece...
