Bravia KDL-47W8 - Amazon Prime

I have both my TV and iMac hardwired to my fibreoptic router/modem. When I stream video from Amazon Prime, it plays perfectly on my iMac, but audio/video isn't synchronised when I use the TV to stream from the same site. The TV is closer to the router than the iMac (which is upstairs). Playback from other services is fine. Can someone explain why this is the case, please? I don't use it very often, but would like to, from time to time. Thank you.

Hi Nightowl933,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
Some Internet video app will buffer if the speed of your Internet connection changes while playback is occurring. Disconnect or turn off other devices that may be on the same network and avoid doing things like playing online games and downloading and uploading files.
To enjoy watching Internet streaming videos, a network with a fast and stable line speed is necessary. In general, speedsthat resemble the following are necessary.
Streaming standard definition (SD) Internet video : 2.5Mbps
Streaming high definition (HD) Internet video : 10Mbps
NOTE: Other computers or devices on the same network can impact the connection speed and streaming video quality. This is most likely to happen when someone else on your network is downloading files, playing online video games, or watching streaming videos online from another device.

MacBook 13-inch Aluminum (Late 2008) to Sony Bravia KDL-40W5800

Hello forum,
I am looking to buy a Sony Bravia KDL-40W5800 (Sony link, Amazon link) in the near future. I am going to be using it to play PS3, watch television and DVDs/Blu-Rays, but also I would like to be able to connect my MacBook to it if I wish to. I have been reading the forum and have come across numerous users that have problems connecting their MacBook to their HD-TVs.
So my questions are:
What adapter cables do I need to connect the two devices (I already own the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, if that's any help) correctly?
Is the Sony Bravia KDL-40W5800 compatible with the MacBook and does anyone have any experience with the TV itself? If so, I would be grateful for any kind of feedback.
Thank you in advance,
XtremeFluX

Hi,
I have been using my macbook (late 2008 2.4 ghz) with my Sony Bravia (KDL 26S2030) for about a year now. I use Mini Display port to VGA and then into my PC input. I am perfectly happy with the picture quality (although you may want to fiddle with you custom settings) and I have never had any issues.
When I was looking originally I came across tons of people who had problems with connecting the Macbook to their monitors. However there was a patch that came out (maybe last march) and so I bought my equipment after that and the mac always connects properly (although be sure to turn your TV on before to put the mini display port in). You will need to calibrate it and that will be that.
I hope that helps a bit.

What connector do I need for MacBookPro1,1 for a Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000?

I'm a little confused on which display connector I need to hook up my Macbook Pro (MacBookPro1,1) to a Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000. (http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&XID=O:kdl32l5000:dg_ggldf&productId=819855292166574629 4)
can anyone help me?

As you have a 1st gen MBPO, I'd go with a DVI to VGA converter, as per http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8754G/A
If you want sound, you'll either want a 3.5mm stereo to RCA / Phono stereo lead also, similar to this:

Hope that this helps

We have an Aug 2009 MacBook Pro -- would like to feed video / movies to our Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500, which has all manner of inputs -- HDMI, Composite, S-Video.
There appears to be a video port between the firewire & 2 USB ports.

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).

HT3819 video stream from amazon prime to my TV

i want to video stream from amazon prime to my TV via my ipad, mac book using my apple TV device..

there is no reason to get rid of Apple devices, not when a Chromecast, Roku, or FireTV can be acquired so cheaply.
This is a true statement, but this is a bad option in the long term since your content will be split between different sources, DRM rules, apps, access options, etc. You are going to constantly be running into issues were you want to watch a show that is not available on the device (phone, tablet, etc) you are on. I share "Disgusted_with_apple" frustrations in that Apple has not updated in three years now leaving Amazon FireTV and others with better interfaces and features but having my content locked into Apple's DRM.
Apple was really first to market with a viable TV interface device, and has completely turned the market over to its competitors just by not showing up. And now ATV can not play content, or provide features that ALL of the competitors have. I recently bought an Amazon FireTV and love it. The only advantage Apple has left is the iTunes Store still has more content, but that is not likely to last.

X1 and Amazon Prime & Netfix issue

At least once a week I will select my Amazon Prime or Netflix and will get an error on the tv about not being connected to the network. Usually I have to reboot everything. Most of the time it works the first time but sometimes I have to try a couple of times. And yes, I do wait at least 10-15 seconds before reboot. This is a frustrating pain because nothing has changed with my tv or anything else in the house. For a hard wired network connection which and a supposedly high tech system this type of problems should not be happening on such a frequent basis.

apple tv to get Netflix so I can cancel my xfinity premium channels. Will this set up work. p.s as you can tell I am a Mac novice.

Providing you have a free HDMI port on the TV and the location you would put the Apple TV will allow it to connect to your network, you should be good to go.

How can I get an amazon prime movie to show up on a projector through my phone?

I am trying to get a movie to play on a projector through my iphone using Amazon Prime. The phone screen will show up until I turn on Amazon Prime and then it goes gray. A message appears telling me that I have to disable Air Play.

Update the Amazon Instant Video app, I suspect the version installed is an older version that does not support AirPlay.

Upgraded to Yosemite. Videos on Amazon Prime and Netflix crash frequently.

First time participant. Recently bought a Macbook Pro (early 2011) with an i5 processor. Laptop is in EXCELLENT condition. Upgraded memory from 4 gigs RAM to 8 gigs. The RAM is Mac certified, but not purchased from Apple. Running Yosemite 10.10.2. This laptop belonged to my son so I know the history of it. He had no problems watching videos when he was running previous OS X, up through Mavericks. It seems that once he upgraded to Yosemite, all **** has broken loose.
I am having a terrible trying to watch videos on Amazon Prime and Netflix. Sometimes it just locks up, and the rainbow wheel spins. Sometimes everything crashes and gives a kernel panic message. Other times it shuts the video down, and says that the plugin (Silverlight and Flash, both) have failed. The most worrisome is the kernel panic shutdown. I have tried everything, including:
Perused just about every discussion of same of similar problems on Google/Bing.
Re-setting the cable modem and wifi router.
Deleted Flash and Silverlight and reloaded fresh copies.
Adjusted settings in Netflix to the lowest quality and tried both Silverlight and Flash on Amazon Prime.
Tried three browsers, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
Adjusted the settings in all three browsers to try and optimize watching videos.
Started up in safe mode to see if the problems clear.
Pulled the RAM upgrades and put in the original 4 gig sticks.
Signed out from the owner account and signed in as Guest.
Called Apple customer care and spent over two hours on the phone, only for the supervisor - yup, supervisor! - to tell me he was stumped and would have to kick it up to the technical folks. Still haven't heard back from them.
After all these attempts to fix the problems, and then trying each "fix" individually, it is still virtually impossible to watch videos on Amazon Prime and Netflix without some type of crash part way through the video. None of these things happen on YouTube, by the way, or any other video sites I have tried. The only thing I haven't tried is starting all over again with a fresh install of Yosemite and all of its components. Really don't want to do that because I am afraid of losing the Microsoft Office 2010 Pro I have loaded. Paid a lot of money for a one-time use license.
Please, does anyone have a suggestion I haven't tried? I'm to the point of sacrificing chickens and invoking the spirit of Steven Jobs! Look forward to hearing some ideas.

Direct from Microsoft is the only safe place to get Silverlight http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/

@RW4HP ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. Lets see if we can get your sound issue resolved here.
First thing we will want to do is break down each step in the chain of components.
First thing you will want to try is to connect directly to the display with your notebook and try to play the movie.
If no sound go to the next HDMI input on the Display. NOT THE SONY. If no sound from each of the input ports on the Display. Change the HDMI cable.
Repeat the first steps.
Now if that fails try another DVD. If you are still having a no sound issue try a new media player.
Switch up to VLC media player. The only reason I suggest this one is due to the fact that is a free player and is loaded full of codecs that support almost anything.
VLC Media Player
If this fails to do the job then we shall move on to the removal of the drivers.
Now when you go to uninstall the HDMI driver you will want to do this from safe mode. This will make sure no other drivers or software are live to make a mess of the removal.
Before you remove the drivers though you will want to download the drivers that are the only supported drivers for your system from this link.
HP ENVY 17-j001eb Notebook PC Drivers
Now boot into safe mode and remove the HDMI drivers and the Graphics and Sound drivers.
Windows 8 Safe Mode
Once you have done all this the next thing is to follow the steps for troubleshooting HDMI.
Here are some links.

This next link resolved an issue with no sound when updating to windows 8.1.

Let me know how things go.
