Hi
Bought a New V8 Super
[[ Live in USA ... NTSC TV - Phillips TV w/HDMI inputs ]]
*************
Plugged - HDMI cable to TV ... When I Turn on V8 - TV says Format Not Supported
also / Don't have a Menu w/Remote on TV screen.
Trying to use V8 Super ...to view Videos on my Home Network on TV ... via Network sharing ( mpg, mp4, avi, etc )
I don't have LNB plugged in - as I don't need Free to Air channels at this time
**********
Do I need to DO a Firmware Upgrade or Install ... ????
( without a TV Menu ... can't see what firmware is installed on unit )
If so How do you do the Firmware Install with out a Menu ....on TV for the V8 Super Unit ... ??
THX in Advance

Some of the older TV's had earlier versions of HDMI and don't run with the newer versions of HDMI that modern STB's send.
My old Samsung does this.
If you run a AV cable (Yellow, Red, White plugs) from the V8 Super to the tv you should see the menus.

Added fast key to switch video output mode or format.
we try to support some old TV or some signal mode TV
Press menu key to main menu.(Panel show "----")
press Green key to switch NTSC/PAL, the panel will show "PAL " or "NTSC"
Press Stop key to switch the video format
PAL mode : the panel will show "576I" -- "576P" -- "720P"(50HZ) --"1080I"(50HZ) --"1080P"(50HZ)
NTSC mode : the panel will show "480I" -- "480P" -- "720P"(60HZ) --"1080I"(60HZ) --"1080P"(60HZ)

Because your TV set is NTSC, default V8 is PAL output.
Try the information on cpr 43.
Or if you video capture to PC using AV cable
Since the menu is displayed, you can change to NTSC.
Either PAL or NTSC is OK for SONY TV. .
