Hi Everyone,

I have connected my NAS on the HDMI IN and stream all my movies butc it's made it completely useless! By disabling All the major codecs on HDMI IN. Can someone please offer me solution to this issue as I've spent a lot of money to now discover such a massive flaw and drawback in the system.
Hi there
Do NAS servers have a HDMI port? I thought the point of a NAS is that its a Network Attached Storage and if your streaming movies/music/photos from it, you would be using an ethernet cable over your local network instead of HDMI? So Im a little confused to be honest.
Cheers
So just discovered something while discussing this issue on the US forums. Please see link to the post below:
Seems like US version of this model DOES support all audio codecs on HDMI IN but the UK version doesnt!
Sony PLEASE answer this WHY is there limitation on audio codecs support on HDMI IN on the UK version of this model?!
Hi there,
I've been helping you on the US forum, (MK_UK_Slinky) over there!
I read the link you posted on that site and indeed it would seem you're correct, annoying or what?!!!!
Right now the only suggestion I could make would be to send Sony a polite email and ask why they have set these restrictions specifically. I can't think of any logical explanation for this at all.
Keep us posted anyway.
