KD-49X8305C - hdmi 2,3,4 inputs not working

Have just set up my new X83C, and can't get hdmi inputs 2, 3 or 4 to work. Doesn't register any signal from any of them, however the tv will identify that an audio return channel is active on hdmi4.

 

Anyone else having the same issue? Any solutions?

Netflix just appeared under selected apps on the home screen, however it comes up saying a system update is required.

 

Luckily, the system update is also available, and can be downloaded in the background. Downloading now...

 

by the way, has anyone got any dark patches on their screen?

Updated the TV last night and NetFlix is now available.  Sound lag seems to be related to HDMI cable, since I bought a HDMI ARC cable and connect to the soundbar (PS4 and Tivo now connect through it), the lag is gone even when using the TV for hours or coming on from standby.

Hi

 

Interesting on your hdmi cable change, all my cables are the same, make, size and manufacture, so i will by a new one to test. i dont have a spare in the house.

I've swapped my HDMI cable and within 10 mins of testing the sound was lagging. Quite possible both cables suffer the problem despite no new cables being necessary (according to the HDMI spec).

 

Is lip sync an SD vs HD problem?

 

I mainly watch HD (where the issue is prevalent) however i've tuned to BBC 1 (SD) for further testing....so far, so good.

Same problem here. All HDMI inputs are out. PC and PS4 works perfectly with monitor with HDMI but not with X8305C.

Unfortunatly you need to have any devices connected to the HDMI inpus switched on when you power the TV up, it is more of a problem with Android as connected hardware is detected at boot time. Hopefully Sony may be able to issue a patch to resolve at some time but the list of issues with these TVs is still rather long. Not the sort of TV to buy if you have no internet.
