Sony BRAVIA XBR - Jittery motion with movies

I just bought the Sony Bravia XBR 52" (Model: KDL-52XBR7 | SKU: 9191457) and had it installed by the Geek Squad as part of the purchase. I have my xbox going into it via HDMI. When I play movies, I notice that the movies are kind of jittery. The picture quality is very good, but the motion is a little sticky (kind of like how a music cd can skip in a cd player). The audio doesn't do this; only the picture.
I don't think it's a hardware issue with the xbox because it's happening whether I play a DVD, HD DVD, downloaded movie or streaming movie from Netflix.
I tried playing around with the different settings of the Motion Enhancement options on the tv and none of the settings made a difference.
Any suggestions on what else I can try??

You say you don't think it's an issue with the xbox but everything points to it being the xbox.
It happens with the xbox regardless of what content you are playing but doesn't happen with a PS3. Screams "It's the Xbox!" to me.

Bravia Sync does not work with Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.

Bravia Sync does not function with my Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and Sony BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System. The Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B does not list the Sony BDV-N8100W on the Bravia Sync device list. Does anyone have an explanation or solution for this?

Please use a component cable. With either RCA or optical for audio. That is the quickest fix. For current HDMI issues.
1.7 upgrade has been known to fix most of the HDMI issues. Verizon is working diligently to roll out img 1.7.

Sony Bravia XBR-55HX929 internet TV looses wi-fi n...

I have a Sony Bravia XBR-55HX929 internet TV. Experiencing home network connectivity issues only when using Skype. Skype video calls end 2 to 3 minutes into the call with network connectivity error. Network is fine. When this happens it hangs up all tv network connectivity and none of the tv features work including network troubleshooting. It fails due to loss of network connectivity. To correct the problem, the tv must be powered off and back on to re-establish network connectivity. Looking for solution.

I have a similar issue with a samsung smart TV, where the single strength is so low it ends the call after 20 ish seconds. The mobile to mobile works on same network. TV is connected via Ethernet cable. Any ideas?

Calling Sony Bravia HD TV owners with photoshop

Hi.
Sony Bravia has a problem with Photoshop !
If a jpg is created in photoshop, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 72dpi, it wont play on a Sony Bravia TV via USB stick.
However it will play on a Panasonic HD TV and on a Samsung, so why is Bravia refusing them.
Furthermore it displays thumbnails ok, just wont play them full size !
If it is created in camera and loaded onto a PC then onto USB it will play on the Bravia.
Both were Adobe RGB colour space so it cant be that.
Any idea why ?
Standard or Optimised or Progressive, they all fail !
Gaps in file name or length make no difference.
unless its file extension .JPG or .jpg or perhaps .jpeg or .JPEG
I used CS2.
Basically anyone with a Sony Bravia and using Photoshop has a big problem here. Works ok on Samsung and Panasonic.
Means no ability to play my photos on a friends Bravia. Also means I wont be buying Sony !
I have seen mention of this by others on the internet. All shops tried so far exhibit this problem.
For those that experience this, whats happening ?
Envirographics

I recently purchased a 46" Bravia LED (model KDL-4EX620).
At work I had downloaded some really cool double screen wallpapers (2560x1024). All are jpg files, and I thought it would make a cool slide show with mellow music for my wife and I to enjoy while chatting over dinner and enjoying a glass of wine.
I was surprised when the TV showed some images, and with others I just got a black screen with the message of "Image cannot be displayed".
I looked up information on this, and found a couple of forums (all with recent replies) that mentioned the problem with newer Bravia TV's and they related it to manipulation in apps like Photoshop.
I used PS for a living, and I'm very familiar with JPEG format images, since I've been doing web desing since the mid 90's.
I'm very used to looking at JPEG as a standard, that should have no display problems, specially with recent technology!
I am aware though, that specially digital cameras, won't accept edited images to be displayed along with the originals on memory cards. Once edited, they will not show up on the camera's LCD.
I never really looked into this, and accepted it as a fact of life, so to speak.
But this issue with the TV really peaked my interest.
After chatting with SONY's support, I was pointed in the direction of a technical spec. listed on the TV model's details:
"- JPEG (JPEG format files with the extension “.jpg” and conforming to DCF 2.0 or Exif 2.21)"
And I'm not entirely sure about this, but it seems it's related to the aforementioned issue with edited images on a Camera.
Somebody here mentioned SRGB, vs Adobe's RGB.
I decided to make a test.
Using PS CS3, I ran ALL the images in the folder of the USB drive I had stuck into the TV for the slide show. The script is a standard script in the File menu of PS CS3: File/Scripts/Image Procesor...
Saving the images as JPEG, making sure I selected SRGB and maintaing ICC profile.
I re-saved all the images with this method, which in fact reduces file size (I guess it's not very lossless).
Presto, now NONE of the images display on the TV!!!
hehehehe, I guess it's a good thing, since it does relate PS as a culprit clashing with the DCF 2.0 or Exif 2.21 requirements the TV lists.
NOW... the question is, CAN I save from PS under that JPEG profile? Will I need a third party app? an additional plugin? any other apps you can think of?
There's a rather cheap option, but I'm not going to buy it just yet, until I find out that I can defenitely NOT use PS for this. I mean, c'mon, shouldn't a MUCH more expensive app be able to conform to standards fromt he 90's???
I know I can't change the TV's requirements, updating the firmware will not solve something that SONY doesn't consider a bug. It's a standard after all.

Jittery motion with stills when exported to Quicktime

I've been producing photographic AVs with FCE for a few years now and I've run into a problem with the latest version (3.5).
Any time I use keyframes to do a Ken Burns effect it gets all jittery when exported to Quicktime. Everything plays back fine within FCE - it's only when exported that the problem occurs. The problem didn't exist (for me) with version 3. It seems to be exacerbated by adding a transition but it happens even when there's no transition.
Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what I might be able to do to remedy it.
regards and thanks

That's what you did when you switched the field
dominance to none, but you see you didn't see any
effect when you did that.
No, none at all.
I have a fairly major show on Friday night (it's Wednesday pm here now) so I'm thinking I might spend the night redoing it in iMovie. I'm disappointed because I've been doing them in FCE for a few years now and this is the first time I've seen a problem. The only thing which has changed is the jump from 3 to 3.5.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

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.

Sony Bravia KDL-52S5100 LCD Picture?

My husband just hooked up our new Sony Bravia KDL-52S5100 LCD with an HD cable box from Comcast. I have seen several Sony LCD's in other people's homes and somehow the picture looked sharper than what I see on ours. Do we have to do any type of tuning to get it to look sharper. It is not grainy but it just doesnt seem as sharp as other HD picutures I have seen.
I dont want to have a fight with my husband who thinks it looks fine but I am wondering if there is anything we can do to make the picture sharper. Thank you for any help with this.

How a tv "looks" is very subjective actually. And many things can effect how a tv looks to a certain person. One person might like one setting and another person something different. Most of the high definition tvs I have seen all look pretty equal if they have the same settings and are fed the same source. They all use the same amount of lines of resolution so the picture should look the same if set up correctly. The differences in prices normally have to do with other features the tvs may or may not have, not the actual display in the tv.
Here are some of the things that can make a tv look different than another:
Screen size and viewing distance. How big a screen is and how far away you are from it can effect how the picture looks. Smaller screens at the correct viewing distance tend to look more "crisp" since the pixels are smaller. A larger tv up close will tend to not look as crisp, especially with a less than perfect source.
Which brings us to source material. What you put into a tv has a large impact on what it looks like. Like said above not all HD content is equal. The person shooting the video has many artistic choices as to how he/she wants to shoot or light the material. Some go for a softer film like look, while other stuff has a very detailed live video look to it. The video always looks more sharp and crisp, but some times looks "too real" for the person directing the film or tv show. The original CSI show on CBS is a good demonstration of this. When they first started shooting in high def it had more of a video feel to it and was very detailed and crisp. Then in later seasons they switched to a softer film like quality which was not quit as impressive on a high def tv. Its still high def, just an artistic choice the director and producer decided to make is all.
Also not everything you see on your hi def cable box is hi def material. A lot of it started out as 480i analog and was converted at some point to a higher resolution. Either by the cable company or your tv. Anytime you do this it effects how the picure looks. When a tv has to convert 480i to its native resolution it can look pretty good to down right crappy depending on how good it looked to start with. And the bigger the tv or higher the resolution the worse it can look. This is why many opt for a 720P instead of a 1080P tv.
Also the tv settings themselves have a huge impact on how the tv "looks" to you. Changing the brightness, contrast and other settings have a big impact on how much detail and "punch" the tv will have when viewed. Does not alway mean its better though. Most tvs on the showroom floor or out of the box are calibrated very poorly with the contrast and brightness set way to high and the colors and saturation are off. They do this to make one tv stand out more when its next to 20 others in a brightly lit store.
Ambient room light makes a difference too. The more ambient light there is or light on the screen can tend to "wash out" the picture. It will not look as crisp and will lose some color and detail to your eyes.
Also how the tv is hooked up to its source matters. In order of quality it goes: HDMI, Component (three cables just for the video), composite ( the cheesy little yellow rca cable for video) and RF (the coaxial cable that screws into the tv's attenna jack). HDMI and component will look pretty close to the same and both will pass high definition signals, HDMI is technically better though. Composite will not look as good and RF will look the worst unless its a digital over the air hi def signal.
So its very possible the TVs you saw that looked "better" may have been hooked up different, may have had better source material, may have had a different screen size and a farther viewing distance. Or they may have had different picture settings with more controled lighting in the room. Its also a possibility the tvs that you thought looked better were actually set up wrong and you just like the brighter picture and over saturated colors.
Something else to consider is to some a properly adjusted or calibrated tv doesn't look "as good" as a stock tv. Simply because its not as bright and the colors have less punch to them because the saturation and tint is set correctly. So the calibrated tv tends to look dim and more subdued compared to a tv that has all its settings ramped up. However the properly adjusted tv will be more accurate, closer to what the director wanted you to see and will last longer. And sometimes the "sharper" tv is actually adding video noise to the picture to make it look more crisp. When in reality its adding things to the picture that should not be there.
So its possible that your husband may have adjusted your tv more correctly or is using a pre set that is closer to what it should be. Normally the "movie" setting is fairly close to what a tv should be.
Without actually putting your tv next to another one and feeding it the same signal its nearly impossible for the average person to tell.

Sony Bravia KDL 32XBR6 BluRay settings

Hey guys, ive had this tv for quite a while now Sony Bravia KDL 32XBR6
i just got myself a PS3 for the BluRay player, im trying to set it up for the best HD image
so i found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ngvnnMPbDg and used the same settings they show there for the PS3.
now about the TV settings, i noticed the TV having stuff like Game Mode and video optimizer and CineMotion.
im using a HDMI cable ... but i dont know what to put in those settings
so if i click on CineMotion the options for HDMI are Auto1, Auto2 and Off
if i click in Game Mode they are On and Off
and in Video/Photo Optimizer Video-A, Video and Off
so again, im trying to get the best BluRay image ... what should i put this settings on?
also any Brightness, Color, Contrast, Sharpness opinions?
im new to this HD stuff so pardon my ignorance
thanks!

The trick is to use the RGB/VGA "PC" input on the Bravia, with the VGA adapter, instead of a DVI to HDMI cable. If you do that, you don't even need DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX at all.

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.

Can no longer connect Macbook Pro 10.6.8 to Sony Bravia HDTV with HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable, Can no longer connect Macbook Pro 10.6.8 to Sony Bravia HDTV with HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 10.6.8 that is not recognized by my Sony Bravia HDTV. What's weird is that the same cable works with my roommates 2012 Macbook Pro. Help please, I would love to watch movies + shows on the big screen!

I hooked my Sony .Bravia 40" up to my MacBook with no problem. From your description, it sounds like you may also have a bad DVI->HDMI cable. I'm using the stock Apple miniDVI adaptor mated to my DVI->HDMI cable.
I was going to go the route you took and use the VGA port on my Bravia, but thought it might limit me to "side" letterboxes since I thought VGA basically stood for 640x480 or 4X3 format. I'm surprised that you get 1920x1080 from a VGA cable. While your picture may be great, by definition I understand high to low video quality in order is...
HDMI/DVI, Component, s-video, VGA, and lastly, A/V cables.
My DVI->HDMI cable is a cheapie that I think I bought at Frys. This type of cable is probably getting harder to find as most stuff is straight HDMI now. Anyone thinking of getting a new flat screen should strongly remember to get one with at least 3 HDMI ports unless they are into cable switch-a-roo when connecting various devices. The stock devices today are cable/satellite, Blu-Ray/HD-DVD/DVD and one for the old Mac.

@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.
Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8)
This next link resolved an issue with no sound when updating to windows 8.1.
HDMI output not working after Windows 8.1 update
Troubleshooting HDMI display and sound issues
Let me know how things go.
Thank you again for posting and have a great day.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.
