Apple TV doesn't connect with sony bravia KDL-40NX720 TV

I'd like to connect my apple TV (bought yesterday) to my Sony bravia KDL-40NX720.
I connect the Apple TV with the HDMI cable but it doesn't connect to the Sony.
What can I try?

Do you have a 2nd or third gen Apple TV?  The problem may be you have 3rd Gen which requires a 1080i supporting TV and I am assuming the 720 at the end of your model number means it is a 720i TV.  That would support 2 Gen apple TV but not 3rd.  Is that possibly the problem?
Check which ATV you have and the tech spec of the TV.  If I am wrong please post again so we can look at other issues.
Hope I am wrong by the way!

  • Apple tv 2 doesn't work with Sony Bravia

    Hi,
    I have tried to connect the Apple tv 2 to a Sony Bravia (model:KLV-32BX300), after I make the connection (HDMI), I get initially the apple logo, but after a few seconds I only get the screen to change slightly color, like if wanted to make a connection, but nothing happens. After a while a "Unsupported signal, check you device imput" comes up, after that I get the apple logo again!!! and everything starts all over....
    I have tried many HDMI cables, unplug the tv and the apple tv... Before I hade the apple tv 2 connected to tv Sharp, and everything worked perfectly.
    I'm desperate!!!
    Hope somebody can help!
    Thanks

    I think the fact that it doesn't work on 2 TV's does tend to suggest the problem is with the Apple TV rather than the TV, but this is by no means certain.
    Jailbreaking may or may not be the problem, however it does create another problem for you in that if the problem is a result of jailbreaking we cannot discuss a fix under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Factory restoring to remove any unauthorised modifications may resolve the problem and allow us to discuss the problem should it persist.

  • How to connect with sony bravia.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect my Mac pro with my Sony Bravia LCD TV. I bought a MiniDP to VGA cable and I already had a VGA extension to connect with my TV. I used to use that cable to connect my other laptop and worked ok with frequent "no synchronisation". Once I connected all, nothing happened. I restarted the PC but nothing happened. I tried to play around with all connection, but nothing happened. I do use windows XP in my mac pro as well and it didnt work their either although my other PC working fine with same VGA cable. I'm not very sure my MiniDP to VGA cable is working or not? Is there anyway I can check its working. Also, someone (sorry forgot the name) in the forum said, HDMI works better then VGA. What do I have to do to connect my PC through HDMI. Is there any direct cable to connect MiniDP and HDMI? Thanks for your help.

    The best way to test if the VGA adapter is bad or not is to try it with another display, preferably a computer monitor instead of a TV. If it doesn't work with a monitor, then that's stronger evidence the adapter is bad.
    There are MiniDP to HDMI adapters. Here's an example of one. I believe this company will ship internationally. You might be able to find UK sources for similar adapters.

  • Apple TV 3 not working with Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A

    CURRENT GENERATION APPLE TV (3)
    Hi I recently bought an ATV 3 which works fine with a Panasonic TV but is not detected on the HDMI input (or any of the others listed in the Sony menu) by a several year old Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A despite the specs saying it supports 1080 p HDMI input. The HDMI lead is the same that worked successfully with the Panasonic TV.  I have reset the Sony to factory settings, turned the power on and off; cut the power to the ATV 3 and re-booted and tried the fixes I've seen listed on other threads which speak of editing the External Input labels and skipping the ones you don't use (on the Sony) but none of these have helped, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Simon

    That does make things more difficult. Is the monitor HDCP compliant? Seeing as it's an issue with the display and not the device the only thing I could suggest is to get hold of another TV in order to lower the resolution on ATV. If that doesn't work then i'm not really sure what else to try i'm afraid.

  • Apple TV not working with Sony Bravia KDL-32BX320

    Not sure if this is because the Sony model is only labelled 'HD ready'- would I have to get a new TV? Anyway, connected Apple TV via HDMI cable and going into TV setup the Sony TV says there are no devices connected. The TV has two HDMI ports

    you could likely connect it to another tv and lowers the default resolution

  • Macbook Pro Mini Display Port To HDMI Not Connecting To Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR9 And Any HDMI TV's In My House

    I have a Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) and recently purchased a mini DVI to HDMI cable. I was using it perfectly fine on my LG TV for a while but than one day I plugged it in and it just stopped working. The Macbook Pro screen would flash blue for a few seconds than return to normal as if nothing was plugged in. I tried detect displays and everything and it sill does not work. I tried it on 4 HDMI inputs on TV's in my house and none of them are working. Does anyone have any idea on what's wrong? I didn't change the settings at all. Just plugged it in than it stopped working. Anyone know whats wrong?

    Hi 1,
    You are far from the first to experience this issue. An SMC Reset may resolve some video issues, although this scenario is not listed; still, I would try it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

    Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

    The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
    There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

  • 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.

  • MDP to HDMI display problem with Sony Bravia

    Hi,
    I've tried without success to connect my 2010 MBP to my Sony Bravia KDL-40W2000 using a Griffin Video Display Converter and an HDMI cable.
    The TV isn't displaying a picture and no audio is transmitted either.
    When the Griffin adapter is connected, I see an additional Display preference window (titled 'SONY TV'), but whichever options I choose in that window, I can't get anything to come up on the TV. I've tried all the resolutions possible and have experimented with turning mirroring on and off. Every combination ends up with the same result: the display is fine on the MBP but nothing appears on the TV.
    I've looked through the TV's menus but there seem to be only a few relevant settings to tweak, and tweaking them hasn't helped. Sony's support team told me that their TVs aren't designed to accept HDMI input from computers(!), which just doesn't seem right given that others have had no problems in connecting up their kit to Sony TVs.
    I know the HDMI cable is fine as it works when connected to the TV via another device.
    I'd guess that the Griffin adapter is faulty, although if this were the case I wouldn't have expected the extra Display preference window to have appeared.
    Is anyone able to diagnose the problem before I try to get the Griffin adapter replaced?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    Did you fix your problem? I have an uncannily similar problem. I bought my MBP in December '09, and recently bought a Neet mini HDMI adaptor (http://www.amazon.co.uk/DisplayPort-AUDIO-v1-3b-adapter-cable/dp/B002SKJKE2/ref= sr126?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1282087795&sr=8-26) and HDMI cable. But I can get nothing at all through to the Sony TV through it. My Sony TV is KDL-40s3000. I went into the Preferences - Display and it didnt detect the Sony there, and in the Sony menu, under Settings - Set-Up - HDMI Set-Up, it never detects any device either. Under the channel on the Sony I chose for this, it does say "out of range". Perhaps that has something to do with it. Any solutions you found, please let me know!

  • Sony Bravia KDL-40NX710 doesn't recognize PS3 or LG blue ray player, as 3D compatible

    I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40NX71, a PS3 and an LG 3D movie player (blue ray player with 3D capability). I will refer to them as "3D-player-device" in this question. I also own a blue ray disc which contains a 3D movie, that is proven to work perfectly fine. To my understanding, both of those devices do not get recognized as 3D compatible from the TV.
    I am not a begginer with electronics or computers, I am a programmer with 5 years experience. I have spent about 5 hours today trying to set up my TV to play 3D movies to no success. 
    I have 4 different HDMI cables and have tried all 4, in every HDMI slot, with every possible combination. One of those cables is 1.4 and one is 2.0.
    My TV has 6 HDMI slots. They are tagged as "in", "out", 1, 2, 3, 4. The "in" and "out" are located on the base of the TV and connecting the 3D-player-device there, doesn't get recognized at all from the TV (meaning I don't see it listed when I hit the "Input" button on my remote). As for the other 4 HDMI slots, located in the left side of the back of the main TV body (named 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively), if I try to connect my 3D-player-device there, it does get recognized from the TV. 
    Efforts to enable TV as 3D compatible: 
    When I use the TV remote, go to the main menu screen, and go to "Settings" --> "Apparance (or display, I am not sure about the exact word as the language I have is Greek) --> "3D settings" , the option is marked as gray, so I can't select it (even though the 3D-player-device is connected with the television). The TV remote has a button tagged as "3D". Clicking that gives me a message that (more or less) states that "I need to connect a device with 3D playing capabilities". I get the same message in the movie menu when I try to select "Play as 3D".
    Efforts to enable 3D-player-device as 3D compatible:
    There is only 1 possible way to enable the PS3 as 3D compatible, and that is explained here from the official PS3 website. On this site, at the step 7 I am supposed to see "Your TV supports the viewing of 3D content" and select the inches of my TV and hit "ok". For me, that step never occurs. Instead, it jumps straight to step 8. Which makes my think that the problem is most definitely not related to the PS3 directly.Similarly to the PS3, the LG blue ray player has a 3D option which is marked as gray, so I can't seem to enable the 3D option from the LG player either.

    I also contacted both, but didn't find many encouraging signs that anything will be done to correct this issue. To be frank, although not pivotal, I would have considered getting a different computer brand if guaranteed that it won't wreck havoc on my set-up.
    Anyways, just a quick question:
    I went through a painstaking effort to restore the Bravia sync. I was hoping that it would just work, but instead had to reboot the PS3 (after hours of internet searching, a simple unplug of the power cord of the PS3 did the trick)
    At any rate, I was wondering if I can in some way disable the Bravia Sinc on either the Amp, or the TV when I connect the iMac and then safely (and most importantly) easily connect it again. This would be an acceptable workaround as I don't need Bravia Sync on the iMac. The only downside would be that I need to physically disconend the Moshi adapter (oh well) when I need Bravia sync to work, which is most of the time as I only occasionally would need the iMac connected.
    Thanks

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
    4.       Select Network Setup.
    5.       Select Wireless setup.
    6.       Select Scan
    7.       Select your network
    8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
    9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
    10.   Select Enter.
    11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
    security key.
    12.   Press the right arrow.
    13.   Select Auto.
    14.   Press the right arrow.
    15.   Select Save and connect.
    These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

  • How do connect my sony bravia tv as a monitor screen for mac pro

    How do I connect my Sony Bravia tv as a monitor for my MacBook Pro? I have an hdmi lead with an adapter to the computer and get a picture of factory setting cosmos with some of the folders of my desktop going off the side of the tv screen.

    If you have the right cable, and have set the right input on your Sony, then you need to adjust one thing.  Go to System Preferences>Displays>Set Mirroring.  I think you've got it set to Extended desktop, which means the Sony is just a HUGE extension of your Mac OSX desktop.
    That should fix your issue.

  • Connecting MacBook to Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR9 - No sound through TV

    I recently bought a Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR9. I have it hooked up to my MacBook using an HDMI to DVI connection. But, I'm not getting sound through the TV. So, I bought a 3.5mm to RCA (one red, one white connection) cable. I've plugged the red and white connections into all of the red/white ports on the back of the tv but I'm still not getting sound out of the tv.
    Can someone please help me with this setup?
    Thanks!!

    Does your Bravia also have red and white input jacks on the side of the TV (my Bravia does, on the left). On my Bravia, those are the only audio inputs that are active for all inputs, and they are what I use when I am playing my MB through HDMI (which, as you found, only transmits video).

  • HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password.  One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses.  Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

    Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse.  I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password.  One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption.  If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

    No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
    There are two options:
    stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
    Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.
