Question 5

How to perform a factory reset (Werksreset) on the SONY KD32W804?

Accepted Answer

To perform a complete factory reset (Werksreset) of the Sony KD32W804:

Reset steps:

Press Quick Settings on the remote control
Select Settings
Go to System or System Settings
Navigate to About
Choose Reset or Restore
Confirm the operation - the TV will automatically restart

The TV will return to its original factory state. The operation usually takes 2 to 3 minutes. The system will remain inactive during initialization - do not unplug the TV during this process.

Alternative before full reset: First, try a simple restart by pressing for about 5 seconds the power button on the remote control. This will restart the system without erasing your settings and often resolves issues (black screen, frozen image, no sound, network problems, unresponsive remote control). If the restart is not sufficient, you can also unplug the power cable for 2 minutes and then plug it back in.

If you have forgotten the parental lock PIN: You do not need a full reset. Simply go to the parental control settings, enter 9999 as a temporary PIN, and then set a new personal PIN. This allows you to bypass the lock without losing your settings.

After the reset: Wait about one minute for the system to fully reinitialize. Do not attempt to use the TV during this time. Once ready, follow the setup wizard to reconfigure your Internet connection, create or connect a Google TV account, and restore your favorite apps.
