Colour temperature fault KDL-50W805C, Optical light fault

1. TV goes off with right colour temperature  Expert 1

I turn it off , and, after 8 minutes I turn on the TV... It's gone, it's all bluish.

I have to manually change it in the menu or change to:

Another HDMI

TV

App.

Did two factory resets and I won't do no more!

This is incredible. It's a basic thing. The TV has to retain its color

Configuration. I've never seen anything like this in my entire life!

 

2. The red optical light of the toslink connector for audio on the back of the TV doesn't go off.

I am just wondering if this nice piece of engineering is always online...

Can anyone confirm to me that, after 8 minutes off, the red toslink light goes off on the back of the TV, please?

 

Thank you.

Not at all. It fixed itself. Probably some firmware update, probably some app which changes some timings on resuming from standby. Dunno what did it...

I did a full reset on it twice. I won't do anymore. Was thinking about
doing it but no. Not worth it. The Android Marshmallow didn't fix it. I
hate this thing. They know but do nothing.

by the way - my work around on this is ...

 

 

1.Turn the Sony TV off by remote control (green button)

2. Turn the Power completely off  by such a switch

 

Don´t ask why THIS works   :nauseated_face:

Turn off by remote?

Then turn the TV off by switches? What do you mean? The one on the back of
the TV? If I press there it will turn on.

Could you better explain the steps?

Please?

you mean: turn the tv off by the power button on the remote control

 

then turn the tv off from the plug? or, if the tv is on a line filter, turn the line filter off?

 

is this imediately after turning the tv off on the remote???

 

resure: turn tv off on the remote control, then imediately, turn the line filter off?

 

is this it?

 

do you wait how much before turning the line filter on?

 

then the tv?

first: press power off button on your remote control for entering the standby mode.

 

sec: pull out the mains plug.

Because pulling all the time is not the best solution, you should buy such an AC adapter with integrated switch.

 

There shouldn´t be too much time  between remote control and physically turning the TV 100% off.

 

at least my w80c  turns on with the correct colour temp. then

*edit*

year i do turn off  all my devices like this -> save energy 😉
