Bravia Sync External Device Setup

DrMopp — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 12:23:25 GMT

XR48A90K with SkyQ box into HDMI 4 and input named 'SkyQ' in TV settings. (by me weeks ago) External Device Set Up shows 'HDMI 4 - Playback_1 - configured'. Where does the Playback_1 come from and how can I change it back to say SkyQ which it did yesterday? Ideas welcome

Under External Device Setup the TV will give the default name for the input, so presumably for the SKY Q it is playback_1.

If you want to customise the name click on Manage Inputs which is underneath External device setup.

Click right and scroll down to HDMI 4, click right and scroll down to Custom Name, select.

Press the confirm/ OK button in the middle of the navigation keys the field should become active

and the keyboard pop up, enter your custom name and click on OK on screen.

Thanks for your reply, but as I said the HDMI 4 input was named SkyQ. in the manner you described. Still showed as Playback_1 in the External Device Setup screen. Has since corrected itself without intervention so dodgy hdmi lead maybe?
