    Many TVs do not properly advertise 1366x768 as a resolution using the DVI EDID signalling. Sony are particularly bad at this.
    On top of that the Intel GMA 950 video chip in the Mac mini is limited in its capabilities as well.
    I have tried using both DisplayConfigX and SwitchResX on a Mac mini to manually adjust settings with a Sony TV but could not get a perfect result. I did find that a new Sony TV produced excellent results at 1366x768 via VGA (an older Sony produced awful results).
    From other comments in these forums I get the impression that for some people at least that Toshiba and Samsung TVs do properly set the EDID signalling allowing a Mac mini to auto detect and use 1366x768 with those makes.

  • FD Trinitron WEGA KV-30HS420 problem with Sony Blu-ray players

    I have a Sony FD Trinitron KV-30HS420 television, which has worked very well over the last 11 years or so.  I've owned a Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray player for a few years, and it has worked very well with my TV.  I believe I updated the firmware on the blu-ray player a month or two ago, to the M07.R.0631 version from December 2014.  When I plugged a USB flash drive into the player - one I've used several times before successfully - the screen went black.  The only difference I can think of is that I created folders on the USB flash drive, and put the mp4s into the folders.  I think I may have had a similar problem with the blu-ray player a year or two ago when I also used folders on the USB drive, but I was able to fix the problem by unplugging the player and rebooting.  That did not resolve this issue. Now, if I try to turn on my player, which is hooked to my TV via HDMI, the "Sony Blu-ray" symbol appears as usual, then the thin blue line that stretches partially accross the screen horizontally, but at the stage where the screen will usually flicker and the blue line will expand to fill the whole length of the 16:9 screen, the screen instead turns black.  It appears the player is still functioning (as I'll explain below), but the TV is no longer able to process the signal. I spent several hours with Sony tech support going through everything - checking the connections, swapping HDMI cables, lowering the resolution on the player, and changing other player settings, but I still have the same problem.  If I hook the player up to a newer Vizio HD television, everything works fine - which is why the player seems to be functioning ok.  If I hook my HD DVR to my television, it continues to work fine as well - so I don't think it's a problem with my HDMI connection on my TV.  It appears to be a communication issue between the blu-ray player and the TV. I have been meaning to buy a second blu-ray player anyway, so I purchased a Sony BDP-S5500, thinking that might resolve the issue.  But the exact same thing happens when I plug it into my Sony TV.  That blu-ray player also works fine with the newer Vizio TV.
     I spent several additional hours with Sony support making sure there wasn't an issue with the new Blu-ray player.  This included about an hour of hold time, and being forwarded to over 4 different support staff, including an "escalated" forward to a "Level 5" support staff.  I had to repeat the issue several times to the staff, including Yeng (Employee #C8WZ), Charlie (Employee #C75Y), and Mel (Employee #C822).  The first staff I spoke with - Eric - told me he'd call back the next day after checking compatibility issues.  Neither he, nor any other Sony staff, called back after 2 days, so I called support again - they had no record of my conversation with Eric, and I had to start the whole process over again.  The Sony phone support so far has been very disappointing, to say the least. Any help would be appreciated.  I'm guessing that by plugging in the USB with the folder structure, it somehow triggered a setting on the older BDP-S780 blu-ray player to use an updated setting - a setting that is common with the software on the newer blu-ray player.  Has anyone else had a similar issue with one of the FD Trinitron WEGA tvs?  Thanks for your help.

    Your older TV is not capable of displaying either 1080P or any progressive program at tthat. On a standard definition (SD) non-progressive CRT like yours, blu-ray is a complete waste. Even if it could accept the signal, it wouldn't look any better.

    What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter?

    Hey guys,
    I found out an answer by myself...
    The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
    In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go !

  • How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

    How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
    I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
    This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
    This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
    1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
    2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
    3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
    4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
    I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
    Thus my question is the same:
    -What software can do that?
    -Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
    -For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

  • IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

    iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio.  It charges but won't play or control music.  Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch.  Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones. 

    Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
    Do the phones have the same iOS?
    Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
    Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • [SOLVED] ACPI power issues with Sony Vaio Pro 13

    tl;dr backstory:
    Sony VAIO Pro 13 (SVP13215CDB) laptop was working great (Win 8.1).
    Installed Win10 Tech Preview. A week later, it started going to sleep randomly and on certain key-presses (perhaps after performing Sony Vaio Software updates. I'm not 100% sure). I wiped all partitions installing Win7 in legacy mode. It still went to sleep randomly.
    I restored to factory default Win8.1 with Sony Vaio software up-to-date. It still went to sleep randomly.
    Took it to an electronics repair shop, to see if they could fix it, and they said it can't be fixed in any way without replacing motherboard, but that's basically a new laptop.
    So I turned to Arch Linux.
    I have completed the basic install from the Wiki, and it no longer sleeps/shuts down randomly, but it will gracefully shutdown when certain events/keypresses occur.
    I installed acpid and used "acpi_listen >> acpi.log" to determine what causes the system to perform a graceful shutdown. Here is the result of acpi.log (each line was a shutdown event):
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Unplugged power adapter.
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Running on battery and idle. Perhaps battery percent update caused this?
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Plugged in power adapter.
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F1 Touchpad Disable
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F5 Brightness Down
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F6 Brightness Up
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F7 LCD/External Display
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-1 (Weird. It has no extra function).
    As you can see, they all seem to trigger the same shutdown event.
    I have seen on other posts that these ACPI signals can be disabled or assigned to other commands, which would be an acceptable workaround if it stops my laptop from erroneously shutting down. Is this doable?
    Also, I was not able to reflash the Sony VAIO firmware when using Windows, as Sony's package software is amazing wouldn't allow flashing an equal or lesser firmware version. Perhaps there is a way in Arch to force a reflash if I can get my hands on the firmware blob?
    Thanks .

    linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=<UUID here> rw quiet acpi=off
    Like this?
    I did that, and it disabled my laptop keyboard entirely. In doing so, it disables the key-presses that would normally shutdown the laptop, including the power button. So the only way to shut it down is a hard shutdown via long-press of the power button. Thanks, though.
    Update: Issue Solved. I will update post tonight. Flashing the BIOS again resolved the ACPI issues.

  • My story with Sony

    My story with Sony In 2011 I saw the announcement in a YouTube for Mobile Xperia Active and Sony Ericsson, but has created the company before you buy Sony Ericsson Mobile was a great experience in terms of strength and durability and scratching the man in the video is trying to wound mobile screen with a knife and a scalpel and hammer beat hard and do not get anything for this giant Frankly, I've very surprised with this section, especially when placed under the jeep and walked it is not affected by never I went immediately and bought this mobile (I liked very much) and I've tried it myself was its name And put it in the water - I threw it at an altitude of two meters - tried to scratch the screen with the key - not Ihs him something, and I still was acquired this magnificent giant of Sony Ericsson even touch its very fast and is better than touching iPhone And started my journey with Sony and not Sony Ericsson I bought the Sony Xperia S, but unfortunately many disadvantages, his voice low, always attached, I always re-run in order to work properly again, I remember when I worked him updated to the new version of Android Wi-Fi no longer works, and eventually sold it Then I bought the Xperia Acro S and the same problems then I bought the Xperia ion is also the same problem Then roasting much, why this failure of Sony, although I love the Sony lot Then Wright video about Xperia Z and liked it so much, but a low voice - and injure its screen - and not against shocks As Sony said, finally bought a week ago Xperia Z-1 is also the same problem. I do not want to change to another company because I want from Sony that does not apply to retract, Is it possible they did not mend mistakes Sound like the old low - screen against scratching and breakage - Mobile Shockproof So far, Sony has not made ​​Mobile resistant to shocks and durability such as Xperia Active Are they unable to make such a giant? If the Xperia Active screen as big as 5 inches of storage space and 32 GB and 3 GB Memory and a great camera Already be against the water - Shockproof - against scratching (any real action and not words) I'm thinking about what I was never changed that with me, because this area is a few weak memory and I can not work it updates Or download programs and games Finally: I hope Sony have to take my words and my advice seriously because Sony distinct from others Against bumps and scratches - against water Look at the iPhone screen is now 6 Sapphire strong Look at Samsung Sony held in her phone S 5 (water proof) I do not want any company to precede Sony, because I love it
    What do you think the Xperia Active X is a powerful specifications (my dream)
    Yours my affection and respect

    Not only for me. For all people, but like Mobile resistant and good to use But like Mobile voice high and strong specifications I speak for the company and for the benefit of the company Sony were always there are some problems in its phones Such as: a low voice - stop in the big games and applications - the vibration does not work sometimes The screen easily scratch and a lot

  • Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer

    Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer footage to computer and into Final Cut Pro?
    I am editing with Final Cut Pro
    I have a Mac
    My footage is on the HXR-MC50E

    One small correction-- you do not use File-->Import. You must use Log and Transfer in FCP 7 or Import From Camera/Import Media in FCP X. In FCP 7 the clips will be automatically converted to ProRes upon import. In FCP X you can choose to work with the native files (re-wrapped to .mov) or you can optionally transcode to ProRes. When importing in FCP X, enable the 'create optimized media files' option to convert to ProRes. If you do not enable this option the files will remain in their native codec.

  • 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.

  • Capturing Problem with Sony TRV330

    Capturing problem with Sony digital8 trv330.
    I recently purchased the above camcorder from eBay for capturing old 8mm/Hi8 tapes for editing purpose. The camcorder set to A/V -> DV OUT connected with Firewire to my Power G4 and the Easy Setup was DV-NTSC. The playback on the capture window looks OK except there were no timecode in the Timecode Duration Field and the Current Timecode Field (both shown 00:00:00:00) during playback but there was timedoce in the camcorder viewfinder. When I click the Capture Now button, the capturing window show up with message “waiting for timecode ….”. I have to click “esc” to stop the capturing operation. I trash the Preferences and Ran the Disk Utility without success. I also tried the Easy Setup with DV-NTSC DV Converter as well as DV-NTSC 32Khz, nothing work.
    My set up is: Mac Power G4 version 10.5.5/ F.C.E. 4.0.1/ QT7.5.5/ Startup 160 GB-89 GB available/ Scratch 350GB-277GB available. Folks, I need help. Thanks everybody.

    Hi, I have a similar problem. I am trying to digitize my 8mm tapes (via firewire) using final cut express (4.0.1). Using easy setup I use DV-NTSC DV Converter and do capture now. I transfer the entire tape but notice the audio is out of synch with the video. This problem gets worse throughout the transfer process. When I use the esc to complete the transfer I get the error " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....." So after searching around it is recommended I change the audio sample rate to 32 kHz option. However, when I do this using easy setup and picking DV-NTSC 32kHz I cannot use capture now because I have no timecode and so the window comes up with the message "waiting for timecode". Since there is no timecode this option does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

  • Error: Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task

    Hi,
    I'm getting the error "Result of Agent Resolution does not agree with agent of Task".  I'm passing the agents in Expression which I'm getting from Method in my previous step and passing to workflow container and it is getting passed to Expression. The userid is present in that container. And the Task is assigned as General Task but still I dont know what might be the problem. The ID is with 'US' prefix. Even if I give the userid directly in the Task, it shows the same error.
    Regards,

    Hi
    Incase you are using different clients for development and testing, make sure in testing client, task is assigned as general task.
    You may check the way the userid is passed. Please note that the US is object type and Object ID(user id) is different. Both of them should not be part of one string. So while you test, just pass the user id without a prefix US. Hope it will work for u.
