SONY Phone: 855 999-7669 option 4 and ask for 4K department

The 4K system:

1. SONY TV #1 (XBR70X850B) & SONY TV #2 (XBR65X950B)

Compare specs with less expensive XBR65X900B

2. SONY Sound Bar (ST7) or current BOSE audio system at Surgery Center

3. SONY Media Player (FMP X10)

4. SONY Blu-Ray Player (BDP-S6200). Needed to play Amazon.com "mastered 4K" discs. NOTE: Older re-mastered Amazon.com discs may not have the best 4K resolution.

5. Toshiba External 4TB Hard Drive (HDWC240XK3J1). Used for additional storage space for the SONY Media Player (FMP X10)

Proper ports on back of TV for cables:

HDMI Port #3 = to SONY 4K Blu-Ray playback player (Active at Surgery Center)

HDMI Port #4 = to Bright House cable box (Disabled at Surgery Center)

USB Port #2 (800mA) = to USB stick (Active at Surgery Center)

Digital Opical Audio output = (Disabled at Surgery Center. Used for SONY SOUNDBAR #1 elsewhere)

NOTES:

1. The 3.5 mm audio cable to the BOSE speaker system is plugged into the output green 3.5 mm port on back of TV. The TV remote then can be used to control the volume and the audio from the TV, Media Player, Blu-Ray Player and USB stick.

2. The SONY SOUNDBAR will work independently of other audio inputs.

3. HDMI inputs #3 and #4 are technically identical

4. Per Leo at BestBuy: SONY TV #2 (XBR65X950B) cost $3,000 more than SONY TV #1 (XBR65X900B) because #2 has a full aray of LEDs behind the scereen. SONY TV #1 has an aray of LEDs only on the edges. The full array gives deeper colors and contrast. But what really sets this TV apart is Sony’s exclusive X-tended Dynamic Range PRO full array local dimming technology for up to 3x the brightness range. The range of peak brightness to the deepest of blacks is unlike any contrast Sony has ever offered in a TV. It's quite simply the most immersive, highest resolution TV experience possible.

5. Per Leo at BestBuy (@ Brandon): Unlike HD TVs, the 4K TVs do not require 240 Hz refresh rates.

Questions and Answers:

ANSWER:

SONY allows you to sign in with the same account information for 3 separate SONY Media Players (FMP X10) at different locations. However, you can be logged into SONY's server only with one device at a time.

ANSWER:

Any Blu-Ray player is compatible with the 4K TV. Upscaling is performed automatically by the 4K TV when the Blu-Ray disc is played. A so-called 4K player is not necessary, except when playing a re-master 4K disc from Amazon.com. The typical Blu-Ray player works by having the 4K TV upscaling for four times the resolution of the original Blu-Ray disc material. See instructions below by John Williams on how to demonstrate upscaling from Blu-ray HD to 4K.

ANSWER: The only source for native 4K is SONY's server at this time. You can hard wire a SONY 4K camcorder to the Media Player through the front 3.0 USB port on the SONY Media Player (FMP X10). At this time the Foundation has no need for a 4K camcorder.

ANSWER:

Toshiba External 4TB Hard Drive (HDWC240XK3J1)

NOTE: Playing content from the external drive will be seamless. Click here for instructions on using 4 TB external hard drives to rear USB port and the USB Flash drives to front USB port for the Media Player X10.

ANSWER:

SONY believes Brighthouse limits speed (not the SONY server) even though 100 Mbps is available from Brighthouse. You can download several movies at once with the SONY Media Player.

See instructions below by John Williams to set no speed limit for downloading to the SONY Media Player.

ANSWER:

NOTES:

1. SONY 4K requires MP4

2. Use input 1 on 4K TV for USB stick video playback.

3. Sometimes, video needs to be detected in input 1 with a "restart" by unpluging and re-inplugging USB from external hard drive into the USB of 4K TV

4. AUGUST 27, 2014: In order to download 4K content on the second Media Player using same SONY account #:

5. AUGUST 27, 2014: "Featured 4K Videos" is a list of SONY's latest releases as well as "Coming" releases.

6. AUGUST 27, 2014: When the Media Player is moved to a new location and connected to a different Bravia TV you will be asked to login into your SONY account. Each SONY Media Player has its own MAC address.
