That question you asked already iirc, and was answered with a not sure... :p

I have Xfi and I dont think i can swap channels like that. I would imagine with lesser audio solutions lie onboard, you wouldnt be able to? Not sure.. .sorry.

oh right.. lol

oh one more question to you guys;
whats the easiest way of finding out what model tv you have, without a manual, when it's wall mounted.

i need to find out the model, then find out how many hdmi slots it has, then un-wall mount it, and wall mount it again. lol

if i descriped my tv, would that be an easier option?:

sony bravia tv
56 inch
lcd, 1080i [not 1080p]


oh and just another question (sry for all the questions, lmfao);
is hdmi better than composite av cables ? they will both reach 1080i, so do they perform the same, or is there a noticable difference in hdmi 1080i?

Try to get inside a debug menu or something like that, or explore the settings for something like Version, then Google it.

Wish I could, but it only comes up with the digital firmware version + the digital can't even find a signal.. >_>
 
Oh, just realised what I said, I had meant to say that Could I swap around the audio channels, if it's wireless? I literally can not physically swap them, without moving everything in my room , and then changing it's layout to make way for this.

Just move the ir receivers?
 
That should be enough, look for "FIRMWARE_NUMBER firmware bravia 56 inches", maybe some website has the firmwares and the model it may be.

Thank's for your information,

I had found the model number by digging up on the manuals, your information was a good contribute :))) but didn't really help. ;D

I've found out I own a: KDL-46X2000 and it's apparantly really good. lol ( i saw this except my model looks alot bigger and cooler than the product image ones, mainly because its wall mounted )

Alright, now I am just going to look for one of those after market rca audio adapters, preferebly @ £2 then un-wall mount the tv, because now I know that it has 2 HDMI slots ( one being filled by sky + hd ) so my efforts won't go wasted.
 
That model number means it's a 46" TV not 56". You sure your TV is 56"? That's a very uncommon size.
