SONY KDL40V3000 Help with Cable line - Blu-ray Forum

projectryan · 10-02-2007, 03:44 PM

OK.. I just got this TV yesterday.
I have 4 extra cable line that fits fine with my other TV and on the wall cable.

But if I use any of the 4 cables on this TV. The female connector would not lock it keeps turning and turning (loose).

So, does anyone here have this TV and does this happen to you?

If yours is ok.. Are you using a standard cable line that you can get at wall mart or your connector type is different?

You think I should bring this TV back to the store?

Thanks for any help..

I have a KDL46V3000 that I recently got. I have my cable hooked up to it also. I used just a regular old VHF/UHF/Cable connector that you can get anywhere. I simply took it out of the back of the old tv and then put it into the back of the Sony, no problems. Maybe something broke when you where taking it out? If all 4 of the cables won't connect, then maybe you should take the tv back.... that or turn it the other way

it's not the tv... its the connector (male)... strip it off and replace with a new one.

I think i'm just going to take it back.. rather than calling for warranty or replacing the male connector.

Can somebody tell me if the V3000 has a "Bravia Engine" or a "Bravia Engine Ex" ?

Cause HERE
It says "Bravia Engine Ex"

but HERE
"Bravia Engine" (The 4th. red point)

The box that mine came in said that it had "Bravia Engine Ex". It upconverts 480i signals to 1080p with the DRC (Digital Reality Creation). The feature is OK, but certainly don't let it make any decisions for you. I would guess that just about any HDMI reciever can do almost/ exactly the same quality.

If the differences between Bravian Engine and Bravia EX isn´t that much,
i guess i will order this one in a few days...

thnx.
