sony hd tv bravia hbr6 46"... reverb....ehco I have a Sony BRAVIA HBR6 46" Tv with a Sony Sound Bar and couple of wireless speakers for the rear. The TV is awesome, best picture and ok sound, but.... I am using a Philips Blu Ray DVD player and sometimes on some Blu Ray movies there is a reverb... or echo between my TV speakers and Sony Sound Bar during play. Sometimes when I then turn my TV off and back on, some or most of it goes away. Sometimes not. It seems to be not in Sync. Some movies play just fine.. Some it seems used to play ok only now to have the Reverb... echo problem. Also some movies that have 5.1 Dolby plays in 2.0 even if i select the 5.1 version. Is there a way to combat this Reverb problem ( a timing delay of some sort to get all these items to be in sync)? I thought maybe there was but I can not locate it. Anyone out there to help I would appreciate it.

Soundbars are supposed to replace your tv's speakers, not used at the same time. The soundbar is generally supposed to represent all 5 speakers on its own and are meant for small rooms where a full system might not be convenient.

Thanks for the info, but.... The TV speakers work fine with the sound bar when watching any TV reg or HD programs. It is just some HD dvd's or Blu-Ray dvd's that this problem occurs. There is an echo or feedback which sometimes you can turn the TV off and back on again and it disapears or makes it better. Some DVDs still have echo or delay from one speaker to the other. It is a sync problem between the TV speakers and Sound Bar which are both Sony brands. When everything working, tv speakers, sound bar and (2) wireless rear speaker it is awesome in my 16 by 11 room. I just thought there was an option somewhere to sync speakers together if needed. Thanks.Alan Thanks for the info, but....

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.

Hello, well, that just happened to me, it was working fine until one day I couldn't turn it on at all. There is one thing the makers of this Soundbar forgot and that is : Manual Controls. Somewhere in the Bar should have the Controls so, in cases like this, the owner could turn the Bar on and manipulate the Volume, Bass and Treble and the other Features. I called Philips and they sent me a new Remote Control but, unfortunately didn't work. In my opinion due to the fact that the Circuitry inside is very Sensitive any Fluctuation in the Electrical Current like a Sudden Blackout, etc. could damage the inner system. I don't remember having in my neighborhood any Blackouts but anything is possible. I notified Philips concerning the outcome of the new Remote Control so they advised me to let Amazon know my situation. Amazon did a good response, something I am very grateful. Thank you. Joe.

I have this system connected to a PS3, so it's the same. There's no HDMI pass through on the Sony Bravia which complicates hook-up and you'll need to get a digital output cable and connect it between your PS4 and the Sony Bravia. Then use an HDMI cable between your PS4 and monitor / TV. You'll then have to enable the Digital Output in the PS4 configuration, then set the Sony Bravia in the TV/Cable mode to receive the audio. Works fine. Great value.

Hi Gary. I'm running two Sony blu-ray players to my Sony 4K 70". One has 4K upscaling, connected through a 4K upscaling Yamaha home media amp (model 1030) whereby I utilized two high priced Monster Black Premium HDMI cables. The other player is a few years older and does not have 4K upscaling. It is connected the same way with these Mediabridge cables and the difference is almost, if not entirely undetectable. I attribute any discrepancy, however minute, to the fact that it is a non-4K upscaling player. In fact, I just went through a whole stack of James Bond flicks on the older player. They are rated for 4K and you can trust these folks. They stand behind their product.

Unfortunately I just saw your post as I was looking for discussions regarding a problem that recently manifest on my 46VL150 from Costco. If in fact your 46V5100 is an identical model I suggest you return it ASAP! My problem is, as many have noted on their sets, the set turns itself off and the red standby light illuminates. No amount of turn off and on resolves the problem. Unplugging it for a protracted period gives you about 15- 20 minutes of "norma" play then the cycle repeats. Cannot comment on Sony repair yet since I am just now calling them. Good luck!

Unless you received a defective TV it sounds like a setting needs adjusting. Have you looked at the output settings on the BR player? Also, are you connecting it via HDMI? Other cables will give a lousier image. Also, you may need to adjust the color, contrast, etc., settings on the TV to make it look better.

Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.

I have been asking this question since it's debut. I have called Philips and got nowhere with their customer service rep, now the funny thing is they didn't even know that Best Buy dosnt carry their brand of tv anymore infact they were shocked to find out that there was no US version of the HTS8140 soundbar available. How do people that work for the company not know this stuff?

That does sound like an issue. How do you have this thing hooked up. Hdmi? Also, there are some features about level control. I will let you know that it does NOT sound normal. I listen to my dish network anwhere between level 35 to 45. My Hd dvd player, and Ps3 Blu ray player usually sound powerful at level 45-60. If my system was at 70, the roof would be blown off my house most likely. Check your speaker connections. Are all connections secure? I need more information.***Actually second thought, if you are NOT set up by HDMI or Optical cable. And you are using RCA red and white audio cables. Maybe that is normal..

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.

I finally got my 40XBR4 on Friday (1/26/08). I was worried about the "fan noise" issues I'd seen online, but I can't hear fan noise from my TV at all... I'm not using the onboard speakers at all, so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it (I doubt it), but from my couch I can't even hear a whisper. The 40XBR4 was everything I could have hoped for... Pretty much the perfect TV for what I want to do with it. I'm really, really glad I waited for the price to come down instead of buying a lesser product 6 months ago...

According to what Philips told me, they no longer made this model as of a year or so ago. I had audio issues that were "unusual" according to the tech. He was local, and I trusted him. However, he couldn't fix the issue, and Philips sent me a replacement. It was "reconditioned," and soon developed the same "rare" problem. They finally replaced it with a new one, but it was a different model (46") because they told me they no longer made the 47". It was a shame, I liked the 47" features (mainly the input selections and the digital audio out). The 46" is a good TV and I've been happy with it (no problems), and I DO like Philips, but this model has been put out to pasture.
