How to turn off the startup sound/chime?

[stefansolender]

How can I turn off or disable the sound/chime/dongle the alerts me every time I turn on my Sony KDL-46EX500? This is every annoying since I have three small kids and they are sometime asleep when I want to use my TV.

One option is to try to remember to mute the TV before turning it off.

I have updated my TV with the latest version of the software, but it did not help. Anyone that can help?

Best regards, Stefan Solender / Sweden

In the Sound menu click on Key Tone..

Select “Off” to turn off the sound and this should also turn off the TV start-up sound..

I don't have start up option or key tone option. I just have sound mode. Nothing else to shut this noise off

My TV didn't have a startup sound turn off option either. I ended up updating the software with a USB from Sony support downloads under my model info. area.

After the update, I now have the option to turn on/off Startup sound as others described.
