What file formats are supported by the Media Player (Album, Music, and Video) apps?

Some of the picture, music, or video contents on my home network or USB device cannot be played.

    IMPORTANT: This article provides the file formats supported by the application version that was pre-installed on the TV. For the file formats supported by the Media Player application downloaded from the app store, refer to the What file formats are supported by Media Player from the app store? article.

    Please refer to the Supported files and formats in the Help Guide by following the steps below.

    1. Refer to your TV's Help Guide.
      • To check the Help Guide on the web or access your Sony Support website product page, refer to the Let us help you find manuals, firmware updates, drivers, and more. article.
      • To check the Help Guide on the TV, if your TV remote control has a Help button, press the Help button, then select Help Guide. If your TV remote control does not have a Help button, follow the steps below:
        1. On the remote control, press the (HOME) button and select Apps → See all → Help.

    Notes:
    • The Media Player app doesn't support Dolby content.

    • Although you may be able to play back formats not listed in Supported files and formats, proper operation is not guaranteed.
    • Contents with unsupported codecs cannot be played.
