Screen format/wide mode changes automatically.
When changing the channel or video input, if [Auto Format]/[Auto Wide] in [Screen] is set to [On], the
current [Screen Format]/[Wide Mode] setting is automatically changed according to the input signal.
To lock the [Screen Format]/[Wide Mode] setting, set [Auto Format]/[Auto Wide] to [Off].
Check the [Auto Format]/[Auto Wide] setting in [Screen].

Suddenly the picture becomes small.
The picture becomes smaller during commercials due to the method used by the provider to
broadcast content. When HD content channels switch to SD content (commercials), the picture may
be small with a black border.
[Auto Format]/[Auto Wide] will not expand the picture while the content switches, since the content
information is regulated by the channel signal provider. You can manually change the [Screen
Format]/[Wide Mode] setting if desired, which will remain in effect until you change the channel/input
or manually change the [Screen Format]/[Wide Mode] setting again.

Black bands appear at the edges of the screen.
Some wide screen programmes are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9 (this is
especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programmes with black bands
at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your
DVD (or contact your programme provider).
Programmes in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on the left and right sides of the screen.
Programmes broadcasted in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content will commonly have black
bands on the left and right sides of the screen which are added by the broadcaster.
[Auto Format]/[Auto Wide] will not expand the picture when the black bands on the sides of the
screen are added by the broadcaster. You can manually set [Screen Format]/[Wide Mode] to [Wide
Zoom] or [Zoom], which will remain in effect until you change the channel/input or manually change
the [Screen Format]/[Wide Mode] setting again.
Some cable and satellite set-top boxes can also control the size of the picture. If you are using a settop box, refer to the manufacturer of the set-top box for more information.

When using the wireless LAN function, check the items below:
- An incorrect security (WPA or WEP) key may have been entered. Make sure that the correct
security key is entered.
- If you select a network (SSID) from the scan list, ensure that you select a correct network (SSID). If
you enter an SSID manually, make sure that you enter the correct SSID.
- To find the correct security key and SSID, consult with the person who set up your network or refer
to the router’s instruction manual or website, or consult the router’s manufacturer.
- If you configured the TV’s wireless LAN function to connect to a wireless router (or access point) at
5GHz, the connection with the wireless router is disconnected while [Wi-Fi Direct] is [On]. When you
turn off [Wi-Fi Direct], the connection will automatically recover.

How to Use Bookmarks
Your router (broadband router) may be incorrectly set up to connect to your Internet service provider
(such as an incorrect PPPoE setting). To set up your router correctly, refer to the router’s instruction
manual or website, or consult the router’s manufacturer. If you are uncertain about the set-up
information of your provider (such as your account name and password), consult your provider.

The test results are “OK”/“OK (IPv6 Only)”/“OK (IPv6 Only)” or “OK”/“OK”/“OK
(IPv6 Only)”.
Your TV uses only IPv6 to establish an Internet connection, and may not be able to use certain
network functions. Your router (broadband router) or Internet service provider may support only IPv6.
Refer to the router’s instruction manual or website, or consult the router’s manufacturer to check
whether the router supports IPv4. If you are uncertain whether your contract includes the IPv4
connection, consult your provider.

Sometimes video streaming quality is poor when using the wireless LAN.
The wireless network connection quality varies depending on the distance or obstacles (e.g. wall)
between the TV and the wireless router (access point), environmental interference, and the quality of
the wireless router (access point). In this case, use a wired connection for the Internet, or try the
5GHz band.
The 5GHz band may not be supported depending on your region/country. If the 5GHz band is not
supported, the TV can only connect to a wireless router (access point) using the 2.4GHz band.

Wireless LAN connection fails or radio reception conditions are poor.
Check the installation location of the TV and wireless router (access point). Signal condition may be
affected for the following reasons.
- Other wireless devices, microwaves, fluorescent lights, etc., are placed nearby.
- There are floors or walls between the wireless router (access point) and TV.
If the problem persists even after checking the above, try making a wired LAN connection.

What kind of devices can be connected to use the Screen mirroring function?
Sony Screen mirroring compatible devices (e.g. some models of Xperia) can be connected.
The Screen mirroring function works by Miracast technology, making it possible to connect with a
device that conforms with Miracast.

The TV cannot connect to a Miracast device.
If connecting a Miracast device (e.g. note PC) fails, press the HOME button, then select

Devices emitting radio waves, such as other wireless LAN devices or microwave ovens, may interfere
with the Screen mirroring function using wireless LAN. Keep the TV or Sony Screen mirroring
compatible devices (e.g. some models of Xperia) away from such devices, or turn them off if
possible.
Communication speed may change according to the distance or obstacles between devices, device
configuration, radio wave condition, line congestion or the device you use. Communication may cut
out due to the radio wave condition.
