    How can I get Netflix on my Sony Smart TV?

    The first thing that you should know is that some Sony Smart TVs are not compatible with Netflix. On the compatible devices, usually there will be a certification process.

    This means that you’ll have to officially register your Sony Smart TV and your Netflix account.

    Depending on your model number, there are different ways to set up and connect your Sony Smart TV with Netflix.

    Sony Smart TV registration

  • Make sure that your TV is connected to the Internet and has the latest firmware update installed.
  • Press the Home button on your remote control.
  • Now go to Network and look for the Activate Enhanced Features option. Select it to get your registration code.
  • Write down the registration code as you will need it later.
  • Open an Internet browser and go to Sony Entertainment Network (former Sony My Essentials).
  • If you already have an account, log in. If you don’t, create a new one.
  • Follow the on-screen steps to register, select your Sony Smart TV, and then enter the registration code to link it to your account.
  • After registering you TV, you’ll have three options:

    1. Use the Netflix button on your remote control

    After you register your Smart TV with Sony and connect it with your Netflix account, you should be able to start using the app and watch your favorite movies without any issues.

    Keep in mind that you’ll need a fast Internet connection to stream videos on your TV, so we recommend to connect your TV directly to the Internet via an Ethernet cable.

    This way you can avoid any possible interferences and slow speeds from the wireless connection.
