Sony France has confirmed that a long-standing audio delay and synchronization issue affecting several BRAVIA televisions has been resolved. The update deployment has started in France and is expected to reach all affected devices by early October. This follows an initial firmware update that had already been rolled out internationally, with users reporting that the fix finally arrived. Sony France has now officially confirmed the resolution of the issue.
The problem affected multiple generations of BRAVIA TVs equipped with the MediaTek Pentonic 1000 System on a Chip (SoC) and running Android 14. In certain HDMI configurations, the delay between the video and audio could increase over time, with some tests showing particularly high discrepancies. This issue was identified internally by Sony, and the company has now completed the development and deployment of the fix.
The rollout schedule for the update in France is as follows: on September 24, 2026, approximately 20% of affected TVs received the update; by September 30, 2026, that number is expected to reach around 50%; and by October 7, 2026, all affected devices should have the update. Therefore, it is normal for some BRAVIA owners to still be waiting for the update to reach their devices.
Sony has also indicated that the new software version will be listed on its official support website, providing users with additional resources and confirmation that the issue is fully resolved. The company has not specified whether the update will be available for devices outside of France, but the focus of the current rollout is on the French market.
