System Software Update
Date: 10/03/2012
Version: 4.114

What Does This Do?

Sony has designed the BRAVIA® Televisions software update process to be customer friendly. This software update (version 4.114) provides the following benefits:

Improvements over version 4.112:

Improved stability for the initial/add scan for receiving digital channels.

Benefits provided by previous updates and included in version 4.114:

Improves performance and stability of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) features.

Note: IPTV allows you to enjoy HD (High Definition) programming from the Internet on your BRAVIA television that is connected to a broadband Internet connection.

Installs an updated version of the on-screen i-Manual built into the BRAVIA television.

Allows for the power-on chime sound coming through the TV speakers (not through the Optical Out) to be turned off in the Sound Menu.

Resolves an issue where a black and white picture may occasionally appear when using Video/Component shared input.
Adds support for the Sony Entertainment Network Music and Video Unlimited services.

Improves performance and stability of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) features.

Note: IPTV allows you to enjoy HD (High Definition) programming from the Internet on your BRAVIA television that is connected to a broadband Internet connection.

Resolves an issue where the TV's clock may reset and the electronic program guide information may not be synchronized with the actual time.

All I know is that since the last update, I've lost all internet capabilities, and get an error message every time I try to "refresh internet content." Maybe this update will resolve this error.

The calibrated settings on a Sony KDL-46HX700:

Recommend switching off things like Black Corrector and Contrast Enhancer. They are not what you want when going after optimal blacks as they constantly either crush blacks/colours or up/down the backlight depending on the amount of black in the scene.
