To reset your 2014 Sony Bravia TV to its factory settings, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV and press the HOME button on your remote control. This will bring up the TV’s main menu.
2. Using the arrow buttons on your remote, navigate to the “Settings” option and press the Enter button to select it.
3. In the Settings menu, scroll down and select the “Storage & reset” option. This will open a submenu with various storage and reset options.
4. Look for the “Factory data reset” or “Restore factory settings” option and select it. This will prompt a warning message informing you that all data and settings will be erased. Make sure to read and understand this message before proceeding.
5. Once you have confirmed that you want to reset the TV, select the “Erase everything” or “Erase all data” option. This will initiate the reset process, which may take a few minutes to complete.
6. The TV will then restart and begin the setup process as if it were brand new. You will need to go through the initial setup steps, such as selecting your language, connecting to a network, and scanning for channels.
It’s important to note that resetting your TV to factory settings will delete all personal information, customized settings, installed apps, and stored data. Therefore, it’s recommended to back up any important data or settings before performing the reset.
Please keep in mind that the steps mentioned above are based on a general procedure for resetting Sony Bravia TVs. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on the specific model and firmware version of your TV. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to consult the user manual or visit the Sony support website for your specific TV model for more detailed instructions.
