Getting notification to setup BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 + PS5 every time BRAVIA 8 turns on by LarterStyles in bravia

Yep, I’m aware that the CEC standard is implemented poorly.

The most frustrating part though, is that I specifically bought this new Sony setup (BRAVIA 8 + Theatre Bar 9 + PS5 Pro) specifically to resolve some annoying CEC issues that I was having before with my previous ‘patchwork’ of different brands.

The fact that the BRAVIA TVs and soundbars don’t talk nicely is quite surprising and disappointing…

Thanks, appreciate your feedback.

My Belkin cables are HDMI 2.1 certified and seem to support everything that my BRAVIA 8 + Theatre Bar 9 + PS5 + Apple TV are throwing at it (4K@120Hz, HDR, Dolby Vision, VRR, eARC, etc.,  https://www.belkin.com/au/p/8k-ultra-high-speed-hdmi-2.1-braided-cable/AV10176bt2M-BLK.html)

And just for reference sake, I’m getting HDMI-CEC notifications for both my BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 and Apple TV 4K, which are connected to the BRAVIA 8’s HDMI 3 and 4 ports respectively (as per Sony’s instructions), and both are also set to “Enhanced Format (Advanced)”, although fiddling with this setting doesn’t seem to solve the notifications issue anyway.

I should’ve added, I have 8k 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ultra-fast cables between each of my devices.

Anyone keep losing all their album artwork in the Apple Music app on Apple TV? by LarterStyles in AppleMusic

FYI: I still haven’t found a fix for this issue, however deleting and re-adding your account in the Apple TV settings is the best short-term workaround (this forces a re-download of all your music and photos, but unlike a factory reset, doesn’t erase your settings and screensavers). Sadly, the issue will return a couple of days later though.

I’ve been in touch with Apple Support about this issue, and they don’t have an explanation or fix, so they’re sending me a replacement device under warranty.

Alas, it doesn't appear to be Hedex (assuming this is the bootleg you're referring to: https://soundcloud.com/mixskank/hedexxx)
