Thanks for checking out this video. I hope you learned something new.

I learned that Steve knows more about Sony TVs than the rep I just spoke with on the phone. He told me my Sony 77XL did not include Power On Behavior when it had worked fine coming on to the last used input for the first ten days, then consistently came on to the Home Screen. He told me I had no recourse. This video showed me where to find Power On Behavior on the "Wrench" menu while it is not included in "Settings". Thanks, Steve.

Fantastic tutorial. Just got a Sony a few days ago and the Manufacturer guidance for a newbie is lacking . This video explained so much

[smsunder]

Steve, another very helpful tutorial on the Sony TV setup! I've had my Sony TV for 6 months and needed a tutorial like this! Also, following your video camera reviews and have upgraded my Arlo cameras to Arlo Pro 4's! Thanks!

This is a truly excellent video. Got my Sony Bravia TV KD-43X77L tonight from Costco and was completely lost on how to use the remote even though I have four older Sony TVs in the house. Many thanks. Greetings from Calgary.

You are a life saver my friend. I just bought x95l and I didn't know how to rearrange the apps icons. Thanks a lot!!!

[IvanHunglin]

I like the old remote with hdmi1, hdmi2, hdmi3 and hdmi4 buttons. Less keys to press to get to what I want.

Good tips, thanks. But the one burning question is - how do I disable/change the 3 repeating show plug pictures (ads?) on the Google Home Screen when For You is selected? I have had the same 3 pictures for days. I've seen them all and want to move on.

Thanks very much for a very helpful video. I especially appreciate you showing which buttons you are using, which for me is half the battle. I purchased a XR-65A95L in the fall of 2023 and the only thing I could not get to work was pushing and holding the Home button to bring up the Quick Access Menu; for me nothing happened. Thanks again for the video.

How do I rename the hdmi port ? Your vid very helpful thanks

[michael-k]

This is the GameChanger we all have been waiting for. Thank you!

[jhkrph]

Thanks for the video Steve! This will make access much quicker

[depljp]

Really like my new Sony EXCEPT… the OTA tuner sensitivity is junk compared to my LG and TCL. Thanks for the video. It was helpful.

[StacySmiths]

Any idea on how to remove the background ads on the TV? I'd love to see just a plain color or generic abstract picture.

[nadzoll]

Thank you for this great tutorial. What I'm trying to figure out in our app only screen is how to get rid of the movies/shows on the top portion of the screen that the apps are promoting (There are several pages you can scroll through). Deleting the apps off the home screen didn't do it. Thanks for any help!

[satking]

Fantastic Had my Sony tv about three months lots of settings to learn Thanks

[Vibearena]

This seems to be the best ...just bought sony tv ...❤❤

[A-Goner]

How do you turn off 'Ambient Mode' (in other words the screensaver) on a SONY Bravia 4K VH2 model? I would like to use my USB drive photos as the source of the screensaver, yet I have not found a way to make that happen! So, if I can just turn off the screensaver mode/ambient mode it would be GREAT because every 10 minutes it pops over to the screensaver. Thanks for any possible answers! Great information and video you made! It has really helped!

[travelandfoodstuff]

Hi thank you, i couldn't figure out how to remove everything from the home screen. one question though, in application only mode there is one recommendation that i'd like to remove, on your screen it says watch on peacock, is it possible to get rid of this ?

[vtrjerms]

Is the screen size option only in Game mode? Or can you shrink size of your of your picture on another output/streaming ?
