Mounting Sony Bravia 46" TV

I'm trying to wall mount my Sony Bravia TV and found that the mounting holes on the TV are not verticle. They are at a slight angle which will cause the hangers to not lie flat on the hanging bracket. Does this mean I have to buy mounting bracket specifically designed for my Sony TV?

My Sony KDL42W805A did exactly the same - Skype worked early last week, then would not connect. The Sony website - http://www.sony-europe.com/support/en/content/cnt-hn/prd-tvhc/skype-disabled-on-some-tvs/KDL-42W805A - has details of the models affected.
However, my TV updated itself this morning and Skype now works again, once I had logged back in. If your TV has not updated, connect it to the internet, go to settings > product support > software update and, with luck, you should be able to use Skype again.

Macbook to Sony Bravia - Problems

Hey -
So I'm trying to connect my Macbook (I got this back in like 2006-2007?) to my Sony Bravia TV. I have the current set-up:
VGA Cable connected from the back of the TV to a Mini-DVI-to-VGA connector to the MacBook. When I plug it in, the Macbook detects it (since I can see the MacBook screen adjusting to it) but when I go to find it on the TV (Input/Source), the "PC" option is grayed out. I've been trying everything (Detect Display, etc) for the Bravia to detect it but no dice. Any help would be great.
For the time being, I'm using a S-Video to Mini-DVI-to-S-Video adapter to the MacBook but the quality is really poor (except when watching movies).
Is there something else that I need to do?
Thanks!
Albert

hello, people.
I'm trying to sync my mac to Sony Bravia as well.
And it was tough.
But on my last try I find a way.
You have to put a resolution 640 x 480 on your mac
and 1920 x 1080 on Sony TV.
After that, you have to go on menu of your TV and follow the steps:
ajustes > canais de entrada > controle de entradas
I know the names in portuguese.
But in english should be the same.
And set you PC from AUTO to "SEMPRE"
The TV is already set on AUTO (automatic)
It works and I really happy.
I wish it works for you too
Good luck

Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

Hello Everyone,
I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
Can someone out there please help!!!!!
Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
Thanks,
Stacey Bindman

Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

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.

I have a 2008 black macbook and access UK tv through a purchased proxy site. I want to buy a sony bravia internet connected tv to watch the channels in more comfort. Sony tell me this won't work - that the tv cannot capture my macbook content. Any advice?

I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.

They are correct. The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps. Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum. Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

How do I wirelessly connect my iPad 4 to a Sony Bravia TV?

My Sony Bravia KDL-32W653A recognises that my iPad4 is on my LAN. But I just can't get the iPad content ( videos ) to show up on the TV screen.
The iPad Settings shows the " direct -GC-Bravia" other connection, but it wants to revert to my (John Lewis wireless connection.
If I tap on the other, Bravia panel I am asked for a password. I don't have a password for it and never have had. If I try to use my Apple password or that of my Sony support log-in or even my LAN home group , the iPad just messages:- "Unable to connect to Diect-GC-Bravia"
I seem to go round in circles and get nowhere- Can anyone out there who has an iPad 4 (retina display AND a Sony Bravia TV help me please?
Maybe even a Sony employee? who owns a similar iPad?
Davidthebass.

You dont. Apple won't allow widely used standards and Sony is so behind the times in this area it's painful and almost as bad. Apple forces you to buy an Apple TV whereas Sony forces you to own an android phone to do this natively. Surprise!
disappointed I started my smartphone tenure with Apple; had no idea how badly it was going to burn me in about 100 different ways over the years. All they have on android these days is more efficient hardware...: and since they don't take advantage of it... It's a moot point at the price premium.
as for Sony. I just spent more than I did on my last car for their flagship and id be satisfied if it costed about 75% less and wasn't a "smart" TV. Since it is - and this is 2015; the cost coupled with the inability to properly stream or mirror from.... Meh. Not gonna waste another word. If neither get it by now, they never will. Talk with your wallet guys, it's the only language they understand. Unfortunately they are wise enough to know the sheep outnumber dramatically so it's in vain anyhow.

How do I connect my I pad to Sony Bravia TV so that I can watch content , streamed tv on it

Hey wrend123,
You can use AirPlay Mirroring to mirror exactly what’s on your iPad to your HDTV via Apple TV. You can read more about that option here:
iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209
You can also use TV out, which you can learn about here:

RE: Failure to Connect on Sony Bravia TV

Hi all,
Anybody encountered any issues trying to log into Skype on a Sony Bravia TV? I have a NX720. Everything else is fine. Wifi set up, internet connection and internet TV, although alittle slow.
But when it comes to Skype, after plugging details. You see a message 'logging you in..' with the little blue bar moving from left to right. After about close to a minute, a message comes out but only at a split second, so u can't read it either and then it goes back to the main tv screen.
Be grateful for any help. Is it a Internet connection signal problem? Do I need a new router?
Thanks.

Hi,
It seems to be a general problem, see this thread also http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-on-your-TV/Sony-BRAVIA-not-able-to-Login-to-Skype-quot-kicks-out...
Who can help in this? Is it a Skype or a Sony problem?

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.
