Apparently the latest firmware for Sony's 2015 & 2016 models will fix the sound issues that's been plaguing us for the past few years. Certainly a welcome addition. Here's a copy of the announcement from Sony;

Resolves issue where the right-hand side of the screen becomes bright when changing input from HDMI (4K signal input) to Terrestrial

Resolves stuttering playback on Amazon video when pressing ACTION MENU or VOL+/- buttons

Hello



Has anyone proved this to work?



I have had the problem for a year where the connectivity from SKY to TV (HDMI) to SOUNDBAR (OPTICAL) would result in sound drops when i had the Sky set to send sound in Digital Surround (i.e. 5.1).



My resolution in the end was to separate the audio from Sky direct to the soundbar from the HDMI to to the TV. Not ideal.



Regards
Early days, but no issues to report in my 65xd93 so far!
