AppliCast™ – access online apps

 

AppliCast™ is an exciting new feature which lets you access handy widgets through your BRAVIA® TV. Quickly get the time, at home or abroad, plan next month's holiday - or see the latest news, share prices or gossip from your favourite websites. With AppliCast™ you can tune into the world outside without turning off your TV.

How to use AppliCast™ widgets

AppliCast™ widgets are like those on a computer, displaying on a sidebar on your screen without interrupting your TV programme. You can add and edit widgets using the BRAVIA XrossMediaBar™ (XMB™) menu and your TV remote control. You can use 3 built-in widgets straight away:

  • How to use AppliCast™: find out how to get the best from your AppliCast™ and set up widgets.
  • Clock: keep an eye on the time with this analogue clock.
  • Calendar: plan your week or coming holidays while still enjoying your favourite TV show.


Set up a further 5 widgets when you connect your BRAVIA TV to the Internet:

  • Alarm: set a countdown timer to remind you when a film is about to start or when it's dinner time.
  • Calculator: manage accounts or quickly find the answer to that tricky TV quiz question.
  • RSS reader: get up-to-the-minute news, gossip and updates from your favourite websites or blogs.
  • World clock: display up to 4 locations or explore time zones on a virtual globe.
  • Picture frame: download images from the Sony picture gallery or display your own photos in full-screen glory.


Remember that AppliCast™ only works with Ethernet-enabled BRAVIA TVs, and to use certain widgets you’ll need to connect your TV to the Internet.
