If the remote control is not working, first replace the batteries with fresh ones. Ensure there are no obstacles between the remote and the TV. If it still doesn't work, try resetting the remote by removing the batteries and pressing each button twice.
To perform a factory reset, go to Settings > Device Preferences > Reset. Select 'Factory data reset' and confirm your choice. This will erase all custom settings and restore the TV to its original state.
For the best movie-watching experience, set your picture mode to 'Cinema' or 'Custom'. Adjust brightness, contrast, and color settings to your preference under Picture settings.
To update the software, go to Settings > Device Preferences > About > System software update. Check for updates and follow the on-screen instructions to install any available updates.
If the TV does not turn on, ensure it is plugged in securely. Check the power outlet by plugging in another device. If the problem persists, try a different power cable and contact Sony support if necessary.
To enable parental controls, go to Settings > Parental Controls. Set a PIN code and adjust the restrictions for content and apps according to your preference.
Connect external speakers using the HDMI ARC port, optical audio out, or 3.5mm headphone jack. Adjust the audio output settings in the TV's sound menu to ensure audio is directed to the external speakers.
To wall mount the Sony XBR-85X81CH, use a compatible VESA mount. Follow the instructions provided with the mount, ensuring you use appropriate anchors and screws for your wall type. Sony recommends professional installation for large TVs.
If you're experiencing HDMI connection issues, ensure the cable is securely connected to both the TV and the external device. Try a different HDMI port and cable if available. Check the input source is correctly set and update the TV's software if needed.
