Hello, I was wondering if there is any harm in connecting my subwoofer directly to my TV through the RCA-out from my TV to the Pre-Out RCA-in to my subwoofer? Please advise. Thanks.

 Hi all!   I have been diagnosing what is wrong with my Sony bravia KDL-46XBR4 and took the entire t-con board off of the panel to inspect it. I decided to create a solder bridge across the top of the fuse because it appeared that the fuse may be bad. When I did so and hooked it up there was...

 Hi There All! I am currently waiting for my Main board to arrive to see if it can solve the issue I have been having with my Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4. I am preparing for the worst and want to find out my options in the even that this component does not fix my issue. The issue I am having is the...

Hey guys, I just hooked up my HT-CT150. The HDMI out is going to a Sony KDL-46XBR4 LCD TV. I have a DircecTV and Panasonic Blur Ray player as inputs. A couple questions: Has anyone else figured out how to make the Bravia link work between this model TV and the CT150? When I turn off...

Sorry in advance if this has been covered but I can't seem to find a thread with a similar problem. I purchased my Sony in 2008. It has worked flawlessly until a few days ago. Before that I had the set unplugged and sitting upright on a couch for 2 weeks. I also had a Sanus mount attached...

I have a 2007 Sony KDL 46 XBR4 LCD television that has started having an intermittent problem where it will turn on, but the display remains dark - no picture or sound - and the set will turn off after 30 sec or so with 5 blinks of the standby light repeating. After repeated attempts (maybe...

Hello Everyone! Well I bet you think I'm going to ask how to fix my TV. Nope, I fixed it, then I broke it! I need a screen for my TV, so if anyone has one I would like to buy it. Or, if anyone knows where I could get one for a decent price, I would appreciate the help. Mike [email protected]

Hi, I have a Sony KDL 46XBR4 and the speakers are cutting in and out. This happened once before and I read another fourm about a process (remote control) that solved it, unfortunately I can't find my notes on how to duplicate the process again. Does anyone else have an idea?

I've had this set for about 3 years now, purchased on 11/01/08. In April of 2010, the panel was replaced by Sony under warranty. The TV has worked up until about a month or 2 ago, then its now doing what is in the video I've posted below. It powers on, then seems to almost get to the point...

Hi Hoping some one could help point me in the right direction. I XBR4 has no error code displaying, It does have a heart beat. It powers on the backlight flickers for a millisecond and then it sits remaining powered on. I have poked around a bit unpluging the backlight inverters from the left...

Hi All, My Sony TV display shows 2 square boxes of ~5.5 inches with horizontal lines on the top left and right side of the screen. This started this week. Am attaching 2 pics. Pic 2 was without any device connected to the TV but the square box shows on the left side. The right box does not...

I have a little over 2 year old XBR4. About 6 months ago, the panel was replaced under warranty from sony, under the bulletin. Now, I have a new issue. The TV was working perfectly this morning, I come home from work, and turn the set on, and it gets to the point where you would normally see...

Hello Everyone, Last winter I started to notice problems with the picture of my 46" XBR4. Thankfully the problem was covered by a recall and I had a new panel put in the set in the spring. Lately I have noticed a lot of pixelation(for lack of the known term). This happens mostly with quicker...

Argh, my Sony KDL-46XBR4 died. (5 blinks error code.) Want to try a DIY repair rather than paying $100 for diagnostic alone. Anyone got a service manual for the KDL-46XBR4 they can send to me? Or got a handy link? I've tried googling/binging around for a free copy but so far no results...

I have a Sony Bravia 46" TV that is two months past warrenty. KDL46XBR4. I think my kids might have hit it, can that have caused it? Can this be fixed? Any ideas of the cause or what i can do? Einar

Ok I was fixing my tab bond issue and went to adjust the metal caseing that lies on top of the LCD and forgot I had put the aluminum tape back on and I think I shorted something. Yes the TV was on and had been the only time I had left it on while adjusting it. The TV will not power on now but...

I purchased a Sony KDL-46XBR4 for HD viewing of the DirecTV satellite signals via one of its HDMI inputs. Recently, to view local sports, I subscribed to a local cable station, it's input being via the "TV" (rf) connection on the television. The video via the rf connection is good, but the...
