Hello,
I bought a KD-75X81K, TV just before Christmas 2022.
I wanted to try to record a film broadcast on a terrestial channel. I used a 128GB USB thumb drive (flash drive) and registered it with the TV. I can see that there is a large file recorded with the name of the title of the film.
When I come to view the recording a PIN is requested. I have never set a PIN on the TV and an internet search suggested 9999. I tried this as well as 0000.
What could the PIN be? Why does Sony impose this? Is is a general nuisance and negates this facility.
Help please?
Thanks, Steve
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you Lightfoot,
After recalling that some Bluetooth devices have a default PIN of “1234”, I tried this and could see the recorded film 😊
This issue is now resolved. I have to express surprise that this was not suggested by Sony's help. Their standard response seems to be to reset everything.
Thanks again, Steve
Hi @SteveMJ Try 1111. It is called parental controls, perhaps you haven’t turned them off. If I remember right, it should have been impossible to set up the TV without setting one.

Try 1234
Yes 1234 did work, I said in my earlier reply. 🙂
