I recently bought a pair of the PB 3000's and bought the port plugs but have yet to run them in sealed mode since 95% of my time is spent watching movies. So I can't comment on the sealed mode setting. Yes these subs have an app to change the internal settings. I also haven't heard any port chuffing from these subs as yet. I only mentioned these subs as the current price is a nice discount to what they normally trade at and is in line with the OP's budget, and has a preference for ported subs.

You can currently pick up SVS PB-3000 for $2,549 each ($5,098 a pair) at the moment from a number of retailers. Buy some port plugs and run in sealed mode if thats your thing.

Had a firmware update come through my A95L last night.

All good then

Just call support and be done with the drama.

Just follow the procedure - let me simplify: Step 1: .......try the troubleshooting procedure below. Step 2: If the procedure cannot solve the issue and the Red LED is still blinking, check how many times it blinks and then contact support.

The link i provided was last modified 08/05/2024 - so fairly recently. I noted their are different trouble shooting articles for different TV's. Worth a try I suppose.

Have you followed the Sony support troubleshooting article regarding blinking lights? https://www.sony.com.au/electronics/support/articles/00145302

They were from the AVS forum. I now think they were Classy Tech's calibrations settings from the below thread link - although I'm not 100% since they were re posted by somebody else. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/sony-a95l-qd-oled-settings-tips-tricks-gaming-thread.3285807/#replies

$8,478 delivered. FYI AO was able to ring Sony whilst i waited on the phone and was able to find out when new stocks would be arriving into Australia.

It is my understanding the settings I attached for the A95L are his settings. He didn't post them because of the ban, but another member who previously obtained them instead posted them.

I took delivery of my 77A95L on 20 March 2024 when stock became available through Appliances Online. I do have mine set to DV dark mode and exclusively stream through Apple (or bluray UHD on via a UB9000) - I didn't set my A95L up as a smart TV. I use the attached settings I found on another forum. I haven't seen any issues with the beautiful images this TV generates. In fact I've come to the conclusion every other large screen TV of my family and friends are the ones with the problems .

Are these still available?

For what its worth, i got a sense from the What HiFi review of the CXN100 that lost its Cambridge Audio sonic character with the move to the ESS chip from the older chip in the CXN V2 - see "Cons" in the below CXN 100 review link. https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/cambridge-audio-cxn100-review My Yamaha RX A6A has a ESS 9026Pro chip for the ground layer speakers, so I thought I could experiment depending on whether I use digital or analogue cabling with either the chip in the CXN100 (using analogue interconnects) or the chip in the A6A (using digital interconnects). The discounted price of the CXN V2 to nearly the prices of the MXN10 made it an easy decision for me. Agreed it would look much better in black that the silver/grey.

If your looking for a new network streamer/player, Addicted to Audio has the Cambridge Audio CXN V2 on sale for $999 if you dont mind the older model to the CXN100. I thought it was a bargain so I just bought one earlier in the week but haven't received it as yet.

Well the Sony A95L 77 arrived today from Appliances Online as promised!! Is there any disadvantage to setting the TV up as a basic TV and use ATV4 for streaming services?

Re the availability of the Sony A95L 77 inch. I ordered a Sony A95L through Appliances Online back on the 7th Feb. It was on backorder, but I received an email yestereday that it is being delivered on 20th March - fingers crossed.
