Bravia & Sky+HD, aspect problem

You can look to see if power light blinks in a sequence which would be a error code but unless you are prepared to take it apart and know what to look for best left to a tech or a shop..

Hello
Remote codes for Sony TV with Sky Plus remote are:

038

533

679

505

533 038 039 064 102 130 505
Ok.

There may be no horizontal ouput, Check C515 & 516 and the jungle IC, IC206.

Hope that helps

Possibly source issue(Box/Satt). Some HD boxes do not have very good HDMI processors or the actual program source feed may be faulty. HD sources are still not 100% efficient

Just called Sony about this same problem...taking your CABLE BOX remote, push the # key on the bottom right of the remote (it also says HD Zoom on mine). You can cycle through 4 or 5 zoom options...make sure you are on an HD channel to see the changes. :)

Bottom line for the extra connectivity and DLNA certification i would go with the
Bravia Z-Series KDL-40Z4100/B 40-Inch 1080pBecause if you connect this to your in home network you can stream music videos and music off you PC onto your TV without the need for extra wired or memory cards etc.

Otherwise if you don't need this feature the other options are identical on the other TV so it is just as good a choice.

You will need a code in order for the tv functions of you sky remote e.g volume to work.

If you have a remote control was produced after 2002 or there is no sticker

Most SKY+HD Remotes are produced after 2002

Changing this requires a change of the tuner. There is nothing inside the set that can make this change. There are external systems that can do this, but they are expensive (multiple $100s).

Bottom line is that this would require a change in the internals of the set.
Hope this helps.

It sounds like a bad LCD panel but you would have to post a picture of the problem for me to be sure
