I'm not sure if others have had issues, but ever since I moved to having a soundbar (Harman Kardon Enchant 1300 that I snagged at a massive discount thanks to refurb deals) attached to my KD-49X8005C it often does not work once I power the TV on from standby. Having searched the net it seems this was a known issue and looks like its been fixed for UK domestic market versions of this same TV: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/articles/00223423
It'd be great if these fixes were ported over for the KD-49X8005C, which is stuck on v 5.435, vs the UK market with firmware 6.6555. Feels like maybe Sony have given up on this variant of the TV.
