Hi there - it's time to upgrade my TV from the current Sony Bravia 32".

Is anyone aware of any issues or tricky bits with either of the TVs in the title of this post? I have 2 rooms and want to put the 55" in one and 65" in the other. In both I have brand new Subwoofers and 2 x Play:1's, and in the room getting the 55" Bravia I also have a new Playbar. I will buy another Playbar for the room getting the 65" Vizio PQ.

Music is playing well, but I could not get the optical out on my current 32" Bravia to work with my new Playbar, and I've read several comments about audio dropouts with other Bravia models so I'm a little concerned.

Thoughts?

TIA - R.

I've never seen problems with Vizios, they seem to work right out of the box.

According to this thread:

https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-228993/the-sony-xbr-x900e-passes-through-beautiful-dd-5-1-6802677

the X900E passes 5.1 "beautifully", so I would expect the X900F to do so also. It's not often TV sets degrade basic features like 5.1 passthru in newer models.

Also, this worried poster:

https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-228993/sony-900f-6804696

thought the X900F had troubles, but was assured by a poster who owns one that it "works great with Sonos".

Hope this helps.
