If your Sony Bravia Android TV is experiencing issues, resetting it can help. You can either perform a soft reset for minor issues or a factory reset for more serious problems.

Perform a Soft Reset

  1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet.
  2. Leave it unplugged for at least one full minute to allow it to discharge.
  3. Plug the TV back in and turn it on.

A soft reset is a quick way to refresh the system without losing any settings or data. If this doesn’t resolve your issue, proceed with a factory reset.

Perform a Factory Reset

  1. Press the Settings button on your remote.
  2. Navigate to Device Preferences.
  3. Scroll down and select Reset.
  4. Choose Factory Data Reset.
  5. Confirm your selection to start the reset process.

What Happens After a Factory Reset?

  • All settings, accounts, and downloaded apps will be erased.
  • The TV will return to its out-of-the-box state.
  • You’ll need to log in and reinstall any apps.

If possible, try a soft reset first before resorting to a factory reset. This way, you won’t lose any saved settings or apps.

That’s it! Your Sony Bravia TV should now be refreshed. If this guide helped, check out the video above, like, and subscribe for more troubleshooting tips!
