What to Know About Your New Sony TV for Enjoyable Viewing

Are you ready to buy a new Sony TV this year? If so, you have plenty of choices from this long-running favorite brand that is often as expensive as it is reliable. Like many home entertainment consumers, you probably see your television as a worthwhile investment, so you are willing to pay more for top quality. That doesn’t mean you want to simply trust that nothing can happen to your television, such as screen burn-in, mechanical failure or other issues that leave you considering a new TV.

No one wants an expensive failure right after the Sony limited TV warranty runs out. Upsie can help keep your Sony TV in good health for years to come with extended warranties that last up to five years.

Take a look at some of the top things you need to know about your new TV from Sony.

Demo mode is the high-end way retailers can show off a Sony TV screen. Your TV will probably come with these high-end visuals and informative displays, but you don’t need to see them once you’re home and ready to experience your own entertainment. Fortunately, it isn’t difficult to do since many of the modern Sony models use the same method for turning off demo mode. First, press the home button, then on the screen, choose Settings > Retail Mode Settings. Next, turn off Demo Mode and Picture Reset Mode and exit the menu page.

One of the many beauties of today’s various technologies is their ability to communicate with each other. If you use an iPhone, you can send content to your newer model Sony TV by using Apple’s AirPlay:

Similar to other devices you might regularly use at home, connect your Sony TV to WiFi by entering your required credentials from your wireless provider:

Just as important as connecting your smartphone to your television is tapping into your cable or satellite content via your remote control. You will need to find out the remote control code from your service provider, then enter that code at the appropriate prompt when you open the menu.

The idea of cleaning a TV screen seems simple enough, but OLED and LCD screens require some special care to avoid damage:

Connecting speakers to your Sony Bravia TV is important, but it can be challenging since normal external speakers do not usually connect directly to most TVs. You can connect to an external receiver or powered speakers through optical audio or composite audio connectors found on the back of your TV.

A soundbar offers you an immersive home-theater sound experience. To get started, check the available connection ports. Methods you might use include:
