Is there a cheaper option for serving the files besides the playstation?? I'd prefer just to keep it set up as just my computer and TV. This is true.  I have the same problem with my KDL55XBR8.  The problem is that the TV doesn't have the software needed to read video files.  However, the PS3 does, but you have to use one of the TVs video inputs. Have you tried connecting one o ..
    Television Troublesh...KDF-46E2000-shuts off-Power light blinks red 3 timWelcome to Agoraquest!  For the KDF-46E2000, 3 blinks, pause, 3 blinks, etc. means "Lamp cover / Lamp position error".  The causes of these errors are "Lamp cover is not securely attached (T1 board) / Lamp is not inserted properly (T2 board).  The T1 and T2 boards contain position switches that are actuated when the lamp cover is fully closed / the lamp is fully inserted.
    Television Troublesh...KV-27FS100L bad FBT?How do you plan on doing that?
    Television Troublesh...KV-36FS320 9-Blink Repair QuestionWelcome to Agoraquest!  If you can plug the power cord in, it can be tested.  I don't believe that there are any interlocks, but if there are, you should be able to locate and bypass them.
    Television Troublesh...KDF-55WF655 - More problemsWelcome to Agoraquest!  Here is the low done on the following errors: 6: LowB-Err   1       No DD 6V output (G1 board) 10:ATSC-OVP   1    No "DTL MODULE 5V" OUTPUT (G1 board, G2 board). The G1 board is the power supply.  It also provides the power to the lamp driver board.  You might consider replacing the G1 board, but there is no guarantee that it would correct your problems.  The G1 board part number is A-1060-177-A.  Normally, you would be able ..
    Amp/Receiver/Speaker...DA4ES Front left channel clipping off at low volumThe advantage of using resistors is that you can determining the current through the resistor by measuring the voltage drop across it and then applying ohm's law (I = E/R).  I looked at the schematic closer and see that the 33 ohm resistors are not identified as protective resistors.  Instead, they determine the bias applied to an output transistor pair.

    Television Troublesh...KV-27FS100L bad FBT?Welcome to Agoraquest!  Shorted FBT windings definitely could cause the HOT to fail.  Unfortunately, there is no way to check the FBT (labeled HEATER on the A board schematic drawing).
    Television Troublesh...Sony KP-57WV600 Picture darkens.That's good to hear!  Good work!
    Television Troublesh...KDL-V40XBR1 9 blink error codeWelcome to Agoraquest!  For the KDL-V40XBR1, 9 blinks, pause, 9 blinks, etc. means "Backlight error".  This is due to an inverter error detected.  The detection location is "Panel module (inverter with power supply)". I think that there is a good chance that you damaged the LCD display.  If you wish to proceed on your own, you should obtain the service manual.  If you become a premium member, you may obtain the service manual free using the following link: http://www.agoraquest.com/manual_request.php

    Television Troublesh...Sony KV-32CS70K horizontal lines from top to bottoYou need to be sure that the set is in the standby mode initially.  That is, plugged in and turned off with the remote.
    Television Troublesh...Sony Trinitron KV-34HS510 (7 Blinks) or (4 Blinks)Welcome to Agoraquest!  You are not seeing an error code unless it repeats as in n blinks, pause, n blinks, etc.  If the error code is 7 blinks, that means "Horizontal Deflection Stopped", which is usually the result of a failed regulator chip on the D board.

    Instruction and Serv...A note about Sony service manual links Just to clear the air.  Babyservice and I desire access to Sony service manuals strictly to assist Agoraquest members with issues that they have with Sony Products.  We do not provide copies of service manuals to others!
    Amp/Receiver/Speaker...DA4ES Front left channel clipping off at low volumWelcome to Agorquest!  You  probably blew a left channel output transistor, which usually takes out a resistor that acts like a fuse.  The left channel output transistors are IC 502 and IC503.  Check R526 in the vicinity of the output transistors.  If the value is >> 33 ohms, one of the two transistors is shorted and must be replaced as well as the resistor.  Also check R524 and R525.  If the value of either is >> 10 ohms, the resistor needs to be replaced.  Its a good thing that these resistors are in the circuit as they mitig ..
