Sony BRAVIA VPL-AW10 Projector

My Sony BRAVIA VPL-AW10 makes this annoying buzzing noise when I try to turn it on, while the green power indicator light just flashes. After the light flashes and the buzzing noise stops the green light turns to red but also the lamp/cover red light flashes continuously for a long period of time. It does this everytime I try to turn it on. I've had the projector for at least two years. Any suggestions?

It might be time to change your bulb.
In the back of your owner's manual it should give a list of what the color and blinking of the lights means..
i.e- blinking red 5 times means bulb needs replacing etc (that's just an example)
I tried to write my signature here, but now I can't get the ink off my TV..

Won't work with Sony VPL-PX20 projector

When starting up while connected to the projector the initial gray screen displays and the projector shows input, but as soon as it switches to the background picture during start-up the projector display goes black and displays "No Input".
I've tried this with two different 15.2" Al PBs and the same thing happens, or doesn't happen as the case may be. (c;
I've test these two Al PBs with our three other projectors which are older Epson and InFocus models and they work fine. I've also tested the Sony VPL-PX20 projector with various other non-DVI Ti PBs and a Dell laptop and the projector again works as it should.
I know if I call Sony looking for support they will say it's an Apple problem and if I call Apple they'll say it's a Sony problem. The thing that makes me suspect it's an Apple problem is that this problem only presents itself on two similar PowerBooks that only really differ in age one is new and the other is 8 months old. The projector works with other PBs, a desktop, a TV tuner and a DVD player with no problems.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be or how I might go about resolving it?
Thanks. Chris

Hi Kevin,
Two suggestions:
Make sure that the camcorder is connected to a power outlet, not running just on battery power;
As alluded to by thesurreyfriends, try a different FireWire cable. If you have a Rocketfish cable, it has been known to cause problems. I have a Belkin 9 pin to 4 pin (FW 800/400) which works perfectly with iMovie '11, using my older Sony DCR-TRV20E.

EDIT: I don't have a Thunderbolt port on my earlier model MacBook Pro, so my situation is different to yours.

Sony VPL - CS5 Projector Component input

Hello. I have a Sony VPL - CS5 Projector, and a Sony BDP-BX37 Blu Ray Disc Player.
I want to use these two items together.
The projector is an older model, and does not have an HDMI input, although the manual does state that the VGA input can also be used as a component input.
I tried making an adaptor wired as follows....
Pin 1=Pr+
Pin 2=Y+
Pin 3=Pb+
Pin 6=Pr-
Pin 7=Y-
Pin 8=Pb-
The projector manual described the above pinning as....
Pin 1=R
Pin 2=G
Pin 3=B
Pin 6=R-
Pin 7=G-
Pin 8=B-
While I do get a picture, i only get green.
Obviously I have done something wrong.
I have double checked the integrity of my connections using a circuit tester, and even though all connectors are fine, the projector only recognized the input from Pin 2/7.
Additionally, when I manually change the input setting from "Input A/Computer" to "Input A/Component", the projector does not recognize any signal at all.
All that being said, my question to you is how do I properly connect the 3 component output connections (Pr, Pb, Y) from my Blu Ray player to this projector.
All I need is to be told which pins on the VGA connector correspond to the positive and negative connections Pb, Pr and Y of the Blu Ray player.
Thanks in advance for your help with this, and have a great day.
....Tony M

Hello Tony,
Welcome to the User Discussion Forums.
Unfortunately we cannot release the pin out or wiring diagrams via the forums , If you require the service manual that includes all pin outs and schematics of the BDP-BX37 you would need to visit our

The only suggestion we can offer over the forums is to use an HDMI to Component (YPbPr) converter. We cannot guarantee results , nor support the converter box, however this would likely be your best option to attempt to connect to the Projector for output.

@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.

External Monitor Not Supported Issue (Sony Bravia)

Lenovo Community
I have been tryign to connect my Lenovo T400 to a Sony Bravia (KDL-32S300 LCD Digital Color Flat Screen) and unable to use the "Projector Only" (to watch recorded movie) video output setting. I am given a non-supported error. Yet I can use either the "Duplicate" or "Extended" video output setting just fine. The Sony Bravia even works fine with a more recent Lenovo T520. I also connect my Lenovo T400 to an older Smsung SyncMaster 930B as an external monitor and that works fine in the rojector" mode too. Can't figure this one out.

Are you using the latest available drivers?
Do you have an HD3470 switchable or just the integrated GMA4500?

Sony bravia kdl-46z4100/Yamaha rx-v463

I recently purchased these and hooked them with HDMI cables(from HD sat reciever to Yamaha RX-V463 out to Sony Bravia 46" KDL-40Z4100). Problem is that I cannot override the reciever and listen to the TV speakers. Also, I cannot get the Rx-V463 info to display on the TV. Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem is that I cannot override the reciever and listen to the TV speakers
On page 14 of you manual it says, " 2-channel as well as multi-channel PCM, Dolby Digital and
DTS signals input at the HDMI IN DVD or HDMI IN DTV/
CBL jack can be output at the HDMI OUT jack only when
“SUPPORT AUDIO” is set to “Other” (see page 67).
Page 67 says,
HDMI set H)HDMI SETUse this feature to select the component to play back
HDMI audio signals.Support audio S.AUDIOUse this feature to select whether to play back HDMI
audio signals on this unit or on another HDMI component
connected to the HDMI OUT jack on the rear panel of this

input jacks to the HDMI out jack only when this unit is turned
on even if “SUPPORT AUDIO” is set to “Other”.
• Available audio/video signals depend on the specification of the
connected video monitor. Refer to the instruction manual of
each connected component.
Also, I cannot get the Rx-V463 info to display on the TV. Any suggestions?
page 15 suggests:
Some video monitors connected to this unit via a DVI
connection fail to recognize the HDMI audio/video signals
being input if they are in the standby mode. In this case, the
HDMI indicator flashes irregularly.
• When you connect your TV monitor or projector via HDMI

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.
