KDL - 40CX523 how to connect to Skype

[jaelsto44]

Just bought the above tv ( which Sony doesn't recognise on line even though bought from their store) and when I select Skype it says you need a camera and microphone connected ( which it is). It then reverts back to tv picture. Connection to the internet os ok. Any info would be welcome. Thanks.

Hi jaelsto44,

welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

Just bought the above tv ( which Sony doesn't recognise on line even though bought from their store) 

You can check out your Bravia's spec's etc on the Sony site using this link -  KDL-40CX523

when I select Skype it says you need a camera and microphone connected ( which it is)

Have you purchased the CMU-BR100 camera and microphone unit.?

Have you installed the latest firmware for your bravia.?  Latests updates

The above post has been marked as correct answer, does that mean you have solved your problem.?

If so which of the points above helped.?

[jaelsto44]

Yes, Have just done the latest firmware upgrade. I thought it might be that I needed a Sony Camera (at £89).

I'm just about to check to see if I need a Sony hard disk drive for recording.

Delighted for jaelsto44's success. Can anybody please tell me if I can do the same on my KDL-52Z4500 and connect to Skype?
