How to adjust the date and time on an Android TV™ or Google TV™

IMPORTANT: This article applies to Android TVs and Google TVs. For TVs other than Android TVs (2016 models or later) or Google TVs, refer to the How to adjust the date and time (other than Android TV) article.

The date and time are usually set automatically because the BRAVIA TV retrieves the date and time information from the broadcast signals or the wifi. If there are no broadcast signals or network connections (wifi) available you may need to set the date and time manually.

How to set the date and time automatically

With the TV receiving a broadcast signal or connecting to the network, follow these steps to check the setting:
