Answered by Frank Schwing

Sony Bravia Smart TVs do have Bluetooth functionality. This allows you to connect Bluetooth devices such as headphones or speakers to your TV and enjoy the sound through those devices. It’s a convenient feature that enhances your viewing experience by providing a wireless audio solution.

To utilize the Bluetooth feature on your Sony Bravia Smart TV, make sure that your TV supports the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). This profile enables the transmission of high-quality stereo audio between devices. Most recent Sony Bravia models support A2DP, but it’s always a good idea to check the compatibility list provided by Sony to ensure your specific TV model is supported.

Here are a few examples of Sony Bravia TV models that support Bluetooth:

– 2019 TV models: XBR-Z9G
– 2018 TV models: XBR-X850F, XBR-X940E
– 2017 TV models: XBR-X900F, XBR-X950E

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other models that also support Bluetooth. It’s best to refer to the official Sony website or user manual for your specific TV model to confirm Bluetooth compatibility.

Once you have confirmed that your Sony Bravia TV supports Bluetooth, you can proceed to connect your Bluetooth devices. The process may vary slightly depending on your TV model, but generally, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn on the Bluetooth device you want to connect, such as headphones or speakers.
2. On your Sony Bravia TV, go to the settings menu. This can usually be accessed by pressing the “Home” button on your remote and navigating to the settings icon.
3. In the settings menu, look for the “Bluetooth” option. Select it to access the Bluetooth settings.
4. Enable Bluetooth on your TV by toggling the switch to the “On” position.
5. On your Bluetooth device, put it into pairing mode. This usually involves pressing and holding a specific button or following the instructions provided with your device.
6. On your Sony Bravia TV, select the option to “Add a Bluetooth device” or “Pair new device.” Your TV will start searching for available Bluetooth devices.
7. When your Bluetooth device appears in the list of available devices on the TV, select it to initiate the pairing process.
8. Follow any on-screen prompts or instructions to complete the pairing process.

Once the pairing is successful, your Bluetooth device should be connected to your Sony Bravia TV, and you can enjoy the TV sound through your headphones or speakers. You may need to adjust the audio settings on your TV to route the sound to your connected Bluetooth device.

It’s worth mentioning that while Bluetooth connectivity on Sony Bravia Smart TVs is primarily intended for audio devices, some models may also support additional Bluetooth features such as keyboard or mouse connectivity. This can be useful if you want to control your TV using a wireless keyboard or mouse.
