1080i sony hdtv works ok with blueray 1080p output dvd?

I am ready to consider buying a blueray dvd player but do not know if the Sony SXRD tv (1080i) will work as it should with blueray dvd's(1080p)output. Will someone advise me please?

Hey,
I like that you’re asking questions before jumping into a purchase. I also find out if what I am about to buy will meet my needs before making a purchase. For a TV to be able to work with a Blu-ray player, the TV has to accept a 1080p input. To find out if your specific model TV accepts a 1080p signal you could contact Sony at www.sonystyle.com or you could call Sony at 1-800-222-7669. Keep in mind that even if your TV does accept a 1080p signal, it will only be displayed at 1080i, and the only way to take full advantage of a Blu-ray player is to have a TV capable of 1080p resolution. I hope this information helps with your purchase.
Thanks,

Since I updated my iphone 4S it no longer works with my Pioneer 2400BT DVD player

Since I updated my 4S it no longer works properly with my Pioneer 2400BT DVD player for my car. The artist/song/album info does not show up, the forwards/backwards controls do not work to change songs and the play/pause button do not work. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Choosing between 720p and 1080p on Mini connected to Sony HDTV (1920x1080)

I have a late 2009 Mac Mini and a SONY HDTV and had no difficulties at all in hooking them up. I just connected the Mini Display Port to DVI connector which ships with the MAC Mini to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable (also available from Apple Store) and connected the HDMI to my TV. I switched on the TV, selected the correct HDMI input, then switched on the Mac Mini and could see the picture immediately. I was missing the menu bar at the top so went to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and then DISPLAYS and the OPTIONS tab, and unselected OVERSCAN, and that gave me a perfect picture (slightly smaller than full screen but perfectly adequate as far as I'm concerned).
By default my resoluton was set at 1080p (presumably the Mac detected that the native resolution of my TV is 1080p). The DISPLAYS box shows a number of resolution with a little TV screen icon beside them, as if suggesting those resolutions for use with the Sony. It shows 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. There are also lots of others without TV icons beside them.
The only problem I found is that 1080p made it quite difficult to read text on my screen, even though it's not very far away from the sofa. My eyesight is very good but I couldn't read the screen comfortably when surfing the net or even when changing settings etc. I swiiched, therefore, to 720p and this produces a very comfortable size of text for using the MAC.
My question is whether it really makes such a big difference whether one chooses 720p or 1080p, as I really can't see much difference for playback of video from Hulu or other streaming websites. Even when I played a DVD movie from the Mac Mini superdrive, the difference in quality was hard to detect. I guess if I tried viewing Full 1080p HD material, there would be some difference, but how much of such material is available on the net anyway? I take it that switching between 720p and 1080p wouldn't cause any harm, if I chose to do so occasionally for watching any Full HD movies that I rip?
Look forward to hearing views!

Hi- I also picked up a mini a week ago, and have it hooked up to my Sony HDTV via HDMI, just as you. The same thing happened the first time I connected the mini to my tv- with overscan on, the top and bottom of the screen were cut off.
The solution is to pick up your Sony remote, go to the onscreen menus, and make sure that 'full pixels' option is selected. When you do, the screen will be absolutely perfectly aligned.
I mention this because while in overscan mode, I find that the Sony makes an absolutely beautiful screen, and text is quite easy to read, albeit a bit small.

What HDMI cable do I need for my MacBook (2009) to my SONY HDTV? I thought the HDMI cable from my Apple TV would work, but it doesn't.

What HDMI cable do I need for my MacBook (2009) to my SONY HDTV? I thought the HDMI cable from my Apple TV would work, but it doesn't.

The model 7,1 is actually the Mid 2010 MacBook and is the only MacBook with a Mini DisplayPort that sends audio along with the video, Here's some Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with audio adapters from Amazon.

FCP 6 no longer 'sees' my Sony HDR-HC7. Works perfectly with iMovie HD

I used to be able to capture from and print to my HC7. Setup was saved. Now, FCP doesn't 'see' the camera with the saved settings, or when I try setting it up again from scratch. Camera connection, driver, etc. are good in that the camera works perfectly with IMovie HD. Obviously I've messed something up in FCP, but I can't find it. Suggestions?

Thanks for the response SDIllini, unfortunately when I do go the Disk Utility, my camcorder isn't even show for me to even repair the disk permissions. As monty jr stated, Sony was no help for me either, they also told me that I would need to contact Apple. The problem still remains unsolved though, it's as if the MBP just doesn't recognize the camcorder whatsoever. I'm open to any suggestions, have anymore?

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

Xperia Neo media server doesn't work anymore with Sony Bravia TV after ICS update!

Xperia Neo (MT15i) updated from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431). I did not perform any reset (factory settings) after the update.
Media server does not work anymore with Sony Bravia TV KDL40-NX700. With 2.3.4 it worked correctly before.
When I start the media server on my Xperia Neo and try to view my photos on my Bravia TV it shows connection, I am also able to view different folders on the Smartphone but when it tries to load the photos in any folder on the Smartphone it stops working after a while. Feedback on TV is "cannot connect to media sever". The same procedure worked without any problems when using 2.3.4 before.
Is this a known issue and is there any solution for this?

Wow that is a new one, great find!
I wish I had tested that with my Ray, as I had used the media server feature quite a bit with my DirecTV receiver when on Gingerbread. But too late, it's on the way back to Sony to get rolled back to Gingerbread.
Too many other problems with ICS that have crippled my device.
1) Wi-Fi Hotspot does not work anymore
2) USB tethering does not work anymore
3) LED notification issues for incoming SMS
4) Dialer slow to load
5) HD Video recording skip frames and jitter.
6) Bluetooth AVRCP profile broke (can't use the play/pause button on my car stereo anymore)
If you have not done so take a look at the above features and see what you turn up.

FCP7 2 apple cinema displays & 1 sony HDTV issues

Hello, I am having issues with connecting my 3rd montior which is a SONY HDTV. I am able to connect all 3 montiors and they all work fine as far as the workspace goes, but one thing I was used to when editing using a SONY DSR-11 was having the 3rd montior, in this case the Sony monitor, as the video ouput monitor, you know, to be able to see what I was editing rather than what I do now wich is drag the canvas window to the SONY monitor and enlarging it. It's kind of annoying to be honest. Anyway, anyone out there experience the same issue? I have an ATI Readeon 5770 card which has the two mini dislay ports for the 2 apple cinema displays and the DVI to HDMI port on the card. Also, I am able to view the cut on one of the apple cinema displays (i don't want this as i want it on the SONY display) when i hit view>external video>all frames and then for video playback the only options I getr is the apple displays AND its the wrong aspect ratio when i play it but when i pause, it goes back to the aspect ratio i shot it in. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Turn OFF [√] Mirror Displays
Then you get something like this:
The screens are connected along an edge of your choosing to make one large "Extended desktop". For your sanity, you arrange then in the same way (by dragging the blue boxes that represnt each display) to the same order they are in on your bench.
The mouse moves freely across the divide between screens, and it can carry a window with it. The little white bar is the menuBar, and it can be moved as well.
If you move a window onto another screen, it can be re-sized to fill almost the entire screen. If you split a window across displays, it scrolls and updates "the right way".

Can not get MacBook Pro to display on Sony HDTV LCD

So I bought a DVI to RGB (Y/Pb/Pr) cable. I have it hooked up and use Detects Displays. It detects a VGA connection but it will not show a picture on the TV. I have verified I am on the right input on the display and checked all just in case. I can't use DVI to HDMI because the TV only has one HDMI and it is being used by my cable signal. There is another input that is labeled RGB in the Sony manual but I can not find a DVI to RGB that looks like the plug configuration on the back of the TV. I would like to stay away from S-video and everything else because they do not support HD. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried a DVI-VGA (D-SUB) cable? It does actually support any resolution supported by both the display and the computer (including HD). This will deliver the same signal as your analog component RGB cable. I use this with my SONY HDTV every day, works very well.

IBook G4 and Sony HDTV

I'm trying to connect a Sony HDTV KDL-32XBR6 to my iBook G4 1,33 GHz via the mini VGA adapter and a VGA Male to Male cable. I'm also running Screen Spanning Doctor 0.3.3 to expand the iBook G4's display capabilities. But the Sony TV doesn't show anything at the PC input (VGA port). It says unsupported signal. I've tried other resolutions (all the recomended in the TV manual), even mirroring and nothing works. So I decided to try with my B&W G3 wich has a ATI RADEON 7000 and got the same results. The only way I could see something was using the S-Video output from the RADEON and plugging to the Sony's S-Video input with limited resolutions and at 4:3 aspect ratio. Is it the TV or the male cable?
Thanks for any ideas

It was a bad VGA cable. I replaced it with one that comes with filters and it works perfectly.

Have Sony HDTV bought in 2003;the video in/out thingy doesn't fit the apple tv prong. What can I buy and where to modify so I can plug in Apple HDMI cable?

I have a 2002 Sony HDTV "ready" tv and am trying to hook up Apple TV2. On the back of the tv, the connection point where the HDMI cable goes in does not match the Apple connection HDMI cable. I'm guessing that I need some sort of connector that goes into the tv at one end and that will accept the Apple tv 30-pin HDMI cable Is there such a thing? What's it called and where can I buy it? Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV specifications state clearly that a TV with HDMI connection is required. DVI is not necessarily going to work as a number of people have found out, although many others have been able to get it to work.
A DVI cable may perform the same function as an HDMI cable for passing video signals but the hardware cards that it plugs into at each end may not.

This sounds like a price match question. Without knowing all the details, it sounds like a yes for the Westinghouse, but I would encourage you to read the price match policy link here:

If all you care about is 1080p definition and an HDMI input at a $300 price point then this tv should suit your needs. (As a bonus it has 120Hz refresh for smoother action scenes.)http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Westinghouse+-+40%26%2334%3B+Class+-+LCD+-+1080p+-+120Hz+-+HDTV/5772998....

HT204291 Everything was working fine with ATV ie mirroring and the apple tv itself, now I no longer am able to mirror my macbook air for some reason.

Last week i was able to use every function of my ATV, however in the last couple of days, I've been unable to get my macbook air to mirror to our tv. Nothing has changed - I havent done anything different. Ive read and re-read discussions to no avail. Please help if you know how I can troubleshoot this issue.
not sure if atv or atv2 but shouldn't make a difference in working order, as I said earlier, nothing has changed so why is it no longer working?
Cheers

I have macbook air with osx 10.9.5. Play thru hdmi cable to TV no problem until I loaded Sling and played the first time. The next day it would not play to my big screen thru the same port and cable. My 10 year old Sony laptop will play with no problem, but not as high a rate and quality. Seems to me Apple didn't like me playing their competition? Could this be the problem?
