Limitations/Information

It has been recommended by Sony that System Updates and Google Play Store updates are set to automatic. When updates are set to automatic, there are occasions where the end user will have to acknowledge and/or decline notification pop-up messages using the Cursor Key and Confirm commands in order to operate the TV beyond the notification. There is no way to automate the notification acknowledgements as not all notifications require the same control input for the notification to close.

RTI is NOT responsible for any burden that may impact the end user due to the notifications imposed by the Sony TV and RTI recommends that the Cursor Key and Confirm commands are readily available if the Sony TV remote is not available in order for the notification messages to be closed.

It is the responsibility of the RTI dealer/integrator that this information be provided to the end user, and to show the end user how to exit out of any notifications imposed by the TV.
