There doesn't appear to be one here.
This photos suggests there is another recess here though.

SOURCE: KDL-32XBR6

Try resetting the TV by holding down the "up" button on the remote (with the TV powered on) and then, while you hold down the up button on the remote, hit the power button on the TV. This should do a "factory reset" which will wipe all settings in the TV. There is no reason why the TV should not "remember the last input it was on when it was ;last turned off. Also be sure that the TV is not plugged into a switched AC outlet, like the outlet on the back of the cable bix. The TV should be plugged into an output that receives power at all times.

SOURCE: Apple TV and Bose Home Theater

I had the same problem.
I could not get HDMI to HDMI to work.

i fixed it (work around), by connecting ATV HDMI to DVD HDMI port on V30, i then connect L&R to AUX.  I set the Bose remote for controlling ATV to AUX. 
so to use ATV with Bose remote i know press DVD, this gives me the correct display but not audio, i then press AUX and this gives me ATV control and audio.


interesting, when i first set this up (trial and error), it didn't work.  I was doing some cable management clean up, when i got a fright and the thing started working...but i have a ghost in my house so that is probably a more plausible reason why its working now.
it feels like this product is only 90% finished

SOURCE: 40xbr2 bravia kdl sony LCD tv. The screen shuts

Problems relating to the automatic turn on and turn off of a set like this usually point to the main board being an issue. For this set, I believe Sony refers to that board as the "AU" board.

It's probably not the G/Power Supply board, especially if it turns itself on. Power supplies will turn a set off, but rarely--rarely--turn itself on.

If there's no kind of extended warranty involved here,
you could be looking at $500.00 for parts and labor to repair this kind of problem.

As always, try any software/firmware updates Sony might have available on their website prior to pursuing a repair visit.

SOURCE: sony kdl-40v5100 has handshake problem

1.This issue sounds as though the TV connection circuit has an issue.
2. You have changed the DVR and the HDMI cables and you still have an issue with the video (pink screen) indicates a video circuit issue ( improper voltage or current) at the video section of the circuit.
3. This will require some troubleshooting by a qualified tech.
4. To make sure, try connecting another properly working LCD TV to the cable box or DVR an check.If you get a picture and sound properly it is the TV.
5. Usually a cable box is QA'd (quality assured) by the company and will not be sent unless tested 1st

My sony KDL "46vl160" sound is out of sync

1. Check your TV's audio settings:

If you're experiencing audio issues with your Sony TV, the first thing you should do is check the audio settings. Make sure that the TV is set to output audio to the correct source.

For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect to a sound bar, make sure that the TV is set to output audio to the sound bar. If you're using a receiver, make sure that the TV is set to output audio to the receiver.

2. Try a different HDMI cable:

If you're using an HDMI cable to connect your TV to a sound bar or receiver, try using a different HDMI cable. Sometimes, the cable can be the issue.

3. Check your sound bar's audio settings:

If you're using a sound bar, make sure that the sound bar is set to the correct audio input. For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the sound bar, make sure that the sound bar is set to the HDMI input.

4. Check your receiver's audio settings:

If you're using a receiver, make sure that the receiver is set to the correct audio input. For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the receiver, make sure that the receiver is set to the HDMI input.

5. Try a different audio input:

If you're using an HDMI cable to connect your TV to a sound bar or receiver, try using a different audio input. For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the sound bar, try connecting the TV to the receiver using an optical cable. 6. Restart your TV: If you're still experiencing audio issues, try restarting your TV. Sometimes, this can fix the issue.

Sony tv no picture on screen

Hello, You probably hit the input button by mistake. If your using cable TV your input setting will depend on how the TV is connected. If your using an HDMI cable check to see what number HDMI the cable is plugging into on the back of your tv and then set the input button to the same port number. If your tv is connected with RCA cables (red,blue,green) Then hit the input to AV.

I have a Sony bluray surround sound and lg smart tv, I can't play my Apple TV sound through my hts, all my connections are hdmi and both systems have arc, please help?

Is your Apple TV connected to the Sony or directly to your TV? If directly connected to the Sony HTS ARC shouldn't be needed and you should have audio. If that's the case check the Apple TV settings to be sure it isn't set for s/pdif output. If connected to the TV then the TV should be able to put a s/pdif signal on the HDMI ARC pin but perhaps there's no way to assign it to the HDMI input coming from the HTS? It may be going to the ARC pin on the Apple TV HDMI input which won't give you any sound. Normally ARC is intended to put the s/pdif signal from the TV's internal tuner on the HDMI cable from the HTS so the HTS can play TV sound without having to tun a separate Toslink cable from the TV s/pdif output to the HTS. One other thing: Early HDMI cables do not include the ARC wire so be sure you have ARC capable cables. Look in your TV documentation to see if there is a way to assign the ARC output to a different incoming HDMI input if the Apple TV is connected directly to the TV. If not you may need to resort to a Toslink optical cable from your TV to an optical input on your HTS. Or actually running that cable from Apple TV to the HTS would be better since it's possible it could carry surround sound. Most TV's optical outputs are limited to the 2 channel sound the TV can accept.

Sony Bravia KDL 52Z5100 - no sound only picture. HDMi cable works fine with another TV, so no probs with cable TV.

A short fix is to unplug the hdmi cable and shut down the tv compleetly, then get the tv on and plug it in, the tv see the new connection and reset the value's for sound

I have a sony bravia kdl 37m3000. We have cable and the wide screen would not go away so we unplugged the cable to reset the tv. Now the cable and the tv comes on but no picture.

Make sure you change the input that the cable is coming in on, If you was watching in HD mode then you was using an HDMI or compontet hook up.Look on tv remote for Video input button to select the componet input 1 or 2 or HDMI inputs which it is connected to. Look for a button on the remote called TV/VIDEO or INPUT
