Tips
For smooth video streaming:
- Change the setting of your wireless router (or access point) to 802.11n if possible. For details on
how to change the setting, refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router (or access point),
or contact the person who set up the network connection (network administrator).
- If the above does not bring any improvement, try using the USB Wireless LAN Adapter UWA-
BR100 and change the setting of your wireless router (or access point) to 5GHz, which may help
improve the video streaming quality.
If you want to connect the TV with your wireless router (or access point) at 5GHz, use the USB
Wireless LAN Adapter UWA-BR100. The USB Wireless LAN Adapter may not connect directly to
the TV’s USB port, depending on your TV model. In this case, do not forcibly connect the USB
Wireless LAN Adapter directly. Be sure to use the extension cable supplied with it. Otherwise,
malfunction may result.
If you connect the TV with your wireless router (or access point) at 5GHz, set [Standby for Wi-Fi
Direct] to [Off]. Press the HOME button, then select

Picture/Screen Symptoms
Tiny black points and/or bright points appear on the screen.
The screen is composed of pixels. Tiny black points and/or bright points (pixels) on the screen do
not indicate a malfunction.
Picture quality is not as good as viewed at the store.
Picture quality depends on the signal content. See the specifications to display the best possible
picture for that signal.
Distorted picture.
Check the antenna/cable connection.
Keep the antenna/cable TV cable away from other connecting cables.
When installing optional device, leave some space between the device and TV.
Set [Motionflow] to [Standard] or [Off]. (For [Motionflow] compatible models only.)
Change the current setting of [CineMotion] to another setting.
Set [LNA] to [Off] to improve picture reception. ([LNA] may not be available depending on the
situation/region/country.)
Perform [Fine Tune]/[AFT] to improve picture for analog reception.
Keep the TV away from noise sources such as mobile phones, cars, motorcycles, or hair-dryers, Wi-
Fi units, or optical device.
Make sure that the antenna is connected using a 75-ohm coaxial cable.

Press the OPTIONS button, then select [Picture Adjustments] to make adjustments.
Select [Reset] in [Picture Adjustments].
If you set [Power Saving] to [Low] or [High], black level will be enhanced.
Blurry picture or poor color.
Transporting the TV from a cold to a warm location or a sudden change in room temperature may
cause moisture condensation, resulting in a blurry picture or poor color. Turn off your TV and wait a
few hours before powering on again.
Screen format/wide mode changes automatically.
When changing the channel or video input, if [4:3 Default] in [Screen] is not set to [Off], the current
[Wide Mode] setting is automatically replaced with the [4:3 Default] setting. To lock in [Wide Mode]
selected with the WIDE button on the remote control, set [4:3 Default] to [Off].
Check the [Auto Wide] setting in [Screen].
Suddenly the picture becomes small.
The picture becomes smaller during commercials due to the method used by a provider to
broadcast content. When HD content channels switch to SD content (commercials), the picture may
be small with a black border.
[Auto Wide] will not expand the picture while the content switches, since the content information is
regulated by the channel signal provider. You can manually change the [Wide Mode] setting if
desired, which will remain in effect until you change the channel/input or manually change the [Wide
Mode] setting again.
Black box on screen.
A text option is selected although no text is available. To deactivate this feature, set [CC Display] to
[Off]. If you are trying to select closed captioning, select [CC1] instead of [Text1] - [Text4] (options
may not be available depending on your region/country).
Black bands appear at the edges of the screen.
Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9 (this is especially
common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top
and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or
contact your program provider).
Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on the left and right sides of the screen.
Programs broadcasted in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content will commonly have black
bands on the left and right sides of the screen which are added by the broadcaster.
[Auto Wide] will not expand the picture when the black bands on the sides of the screen are added
by the broadcaster. You can manually set [Wide Mode] to [Wide Zoom] or [Zoom], which will remain
in effect until you change the channel/input or manually change the [Wide Mode] setting again.

actually upscaled versions of standard-definition broadcasts. The picture is affected by the quality of
the signal received, which varies between channel and program.

Network/Application Symptoms
Sometimes video streaming quality is poor when using the wireless
LAN.
The wireless network connection quality varies depending on the distance or obstacles (e.g. wall)
between the TV/USB Wireless LAN Adapter and the wireless router (access point), environment
interference, and quality of the wireless router (access point). If using USB Wireless LAN Adapter, it
is suggested to use a wireless router (access point) supporting 5GHz operation for video streaming
and place it closer to the USB Wireless LAN Adapter (not applicable for models with built-in wireless
LAN device).
Wireless LAN connection fails or radio reception conditions are poor.
Check the installation location of the TV and wireless router (access point). Signal condition may be
affected for the following reasons.
- Other wireless devices, microwaves, fluorescent lights, etc., are placed nearby.
- There are floors or walls between the wireless router (access point) and TV.
If the problem persists even after checking the above, try making a wired LAN connection.
When using a USB Wireless LAN Adapter, move it to avoid signal interference by using an
extension cable with base unit (optional accessory).
The TV cannot connect with your wireless router (or access point)

The screen is blank and you cannot access the Netflix video-on-
demand service.
If the screen is blank when trying to access Netflix channels and the network activity icon is
spinning in the upper-right corner and a Netflix icon is flashing in the upper-left corner, a problem
may exist with the link between your TV and Netflix. Even if the other Internet Video channels are

1. Turn off the TV.
2. Using a computer, go to the Netflix website and remove the TV from your account.
3. Unlink the TV from your Sony ESSENTIALS account.
4. Re-register the TV.
5. After registration is complete, link the TV back to your Netflix account.
Streaming Netflix video displays in low resolution.
You will need to check the following when Netflix video is displaying in low resolution:
- Your connection may be affected by other online activity on your network, such as online gaming,
file sharing, or other video streaming.
- If you are using an unsecured wireless network, you may be unknowingly sharing your connection
with other people in your area.
- Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) could be delivering a slower connection speed than the
recommended 2.5 Mbps.
Serious Error 5006 Contact Sony appears when trying to perform

Press the HOME button, then select
[Settings] → [Network] → [Refresh Internet
Content].
2. If the problem still exists, perform step 1 again.
3. If the problem persists, troubleshoot the Internet connection via the following:
- Check that an active Internet connection exists with a wired router, wireless bridge, or
wireless gaming adapter.
- Reset the network equipment, such as cable modem, wired/wireless router, by powering off
and on, then attempt step 1 again.
- If the problem continues, wait a while and try step 1 again.
- Confirm the Internet speed meets the minimum recommended specification of 2.5 Mbps for
standard definition (SD) content and 10 Mbps for High Definition (HD) content.
- Test the quality of service of your LAN connection by checking ping, jitter and packet loss.
(Ping should be under 30ms, jitter should be less than 3ms, and packet loss should be 0.)
