Sony kdlv26132-40xbri User Manual

February 8, 2006 

Dear Authorized Sony TV Dealer: 

We have recently learned that a limited number of KDLV26/32/40XBR1 (BRAVIA) Flat Panel or 

KDFE42/50A10 (Grand Wega) Rear Projection LCD television(s) manufactured through November 

2005 temporarily may not, after an extended period of time depending upon usage, turn either 

on or off due to a software issue.  This condition is easily resolved with a simple software update.  

Through the mail, Sony will be contacting customers that have registered their product and 

provide instructions on how customers may obtain the software update at no charge. 

 

To confirm if a television may be affected, please direct customers to go to 

www.updatemytv.com and input their television’s model and serial number.

 

The television 

model number, serial number and

 

manufactured date can be found on the back of your television 

(sample labels shown below).    

 

  

 

 

        

 

      

 

The website will verify if a unit is affected and provide information on how customers can obtain 

the free software upgrade. If a customer does not have web access, he/she contact Sony 

Customer Service toll-free at 1-866-210-6333. Customers should have the model number and 7-

digit serial number available when calling. 

Not all Sony televisions are affected. No safety issues exist with the TVs. If customers have 

already experienced this software issue, the television can be temporarily reset by disconnecting 

the AC Power Cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 30 seconds and then reconnect the AC 

power cord to the wall outlet. After this reset procedure, the television should work properly until 

another extended period of use has accumulated. 

 

Sony is providing this software update at no charge to owners of affected televisions through 

March 1, 2008. Terms of Sony’s limited warranty otherwise continue to apply.  We apologize for 

any inconvenience this may have caused customers and will continue to provide superior 

customer service for Sony televisions.

Best Regards, 

Sony Electronics Inc.
