TV will not remember settings Sony Bravia KDL 40S4011

Before you do the auto search for the programmes please try to do the factory re set from set up menu. hope your problem will be solved.

This most often is caused by a partially depressed, and stuck, button on either the remote or the set. It occasionally happens due to some water or oil getting into the remote or the button the set, or because of a stray signal coming from a neighbor's place. I had a TV once that the sun streaming through a window activated the channel up on the remote receiver.

It's almost always the oddball thing.

If it's none of these things, you've probably taken a power surge that's damaged the logic board of the set, which require repair/replacement.

Your TV is in store demo mode.

To fix this, access the TV's menu and find the option to run initial setup. At the beginning of initial set-up, you'll be asked whether or not the TV should be put into Home or Retail mode. Choose Home.

hi,
IT normally happens after factory reset is done. You need to reprogram the channels. Try the auto program (AUTO TUNING) Process.

1. On your remote commander " Press HOME or MENU button"
2. Scroll down to " SETTINGS or SET-UP"
3. Then to "CHANNEL SET-UP"
   
4. Select " AUTO PROGRAM " To Auto program your LCD TV and it's done..
   

Usually this happens to my set when I am in HD cable channel mode after being on a non-digital ANALOG channel.

I basically reset the TV by changing to a DIGITAL cable channel -- stay on that channel for ten-twenty seconds -- then I switch back DIRECTLY to a HD channel (key in channel number directly on remote).

TV works fine -- seems to be a glitch when the TV changes modes from Analog to HD

Replace the main board (BU board), there are two Part# A-1547-087-A and A-1735-643-A depends on the serial#, cost around $300.

Ur tv shouldn't set in cable mode, if u don't have pay cable,or satalite,extra..Should set in air channels.Buy a digital antena or out side roof antena u get all the channels airs.

40X2000, both PS3 and DVD player are using a HDMI input and both flicker and loose signal fully, have to turn TV of then back on to get signal back. Sony say they have never heard this problem and replaced board. NOTHING fixed, still same problem.

I don't know where you're located but you may want to double check with Time Warner on the availibilty of an HD box. I have TWC with an HD tier package and have an HDMI out on the box that runs directly into HDMI on this TV. Hope that helps!
