Sony A80K, A90K, A95K, X80K, X85K, X90K, X95K and Z9K LED light indicator guide

The A80K, A90K, A95K, X80K, X85K, X90K, X95K and Z9K are part of Sony’s 2022 television lineup. These TVs feature a LED indicator at the bottom that will display the status of the device.

You can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech to see what the various LED light and blinking patterns represent.

Blinking White Light

If the LED indicator of your Sony A80K, A90K, A95K, X80K, X85K, X90K, X95K or Z9K is blinking a white light, then it indicates that a firmware update is currently in progress.

If the light is only blinking when you are using the television remote, then this is perfectly normal as it means that the TV is receiving the signal from the remote.

Solid White Light

If your 2022 Sony TV is showing a solid white light, then it indicates that the Picture Off mode has been enabled.

If you can’t disable the Picture Off mode with your remote, then you need to unplug the television set from the power outlet and then wait 30 seconds. You can then plug the TV back in and turn it back on to see if the screen is showing a picture.

Blinking Cyan Light

If your A80K, A90K, A95K, X80K, X85K, X90K, X95K or Z9K is blinking a cyan color, then it may indicate that it is connected to a smartphone, tablet or mobile device.

Alternatively, this cyan light may mean that your television set has been set to Demo Mode.

Solid Amber Light

If you are seeing your Sony TV displaying a solid amber light, then it indicates that a timer has been set. This could be related to the On Timer, Sleep Timer, Reminder Timer and/or REC Timer that was previously set up.

Solid Pink Light

If the LED indicator displays a solid pink light, then it means that either a recording has started or the content being displayed on screen is currently paused.

Solid Green Light

If you are getting a solid green light from your A80K, A90K, A95K, X80K, X85K, X90K, X95K or Z9K, then it indicates the built-in camera and/or built-in microphone are currently enabled.

If you are seeing a solid green light with no picture, then you need to unplug the TV from the power outlet and wait 30 seconds. After waiting, plug the television back into the power outlet and then turn it back on to see if you can get a picture to appear on the screen.

Solid Yellow Light

If your Sony TV is displaying a yellow light, then it means that the built-in microphone is enabled while the television screen is set to Standby Mode.

Blinking Red Light

If the A80K, A90K, A95K, X80K, X85K, X90K, X95K or Z9K is blinking red, then the television set is experiencing some issues.

To potentially fix the blinking red light problem, you can try doing the following:

  • Turn off your TV and turn it back on again using the remote.
  • Turn off your TV and turn it back on again using the power button located on the TV.
  • Unplug the power cord from the power outlet, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Afterwards, turn on your TV.
  • Turn off your TV and then disconnect any USB cable, USB device, HDMI cable as well as other cables and/or devices you have attached. Afterwards, turn the television back on again.

If you are still seeing a blinking red light after taking all of the aforementioned recommended actions, then you may have to contact Sony as you may need to send your TV set in for repair due to a hardware issue.
