Built-in far-field microphone

Has mic

This model has a built-in far-field microphone, which is the hardware hands-free voice control uses.

Sony's model-specific specifications state "(Built-in Mic) Yes" and identify the physical microphone switch on the left side of the TV. Sony's UK specifications give the same, but Sony's EU product information sheets say "Voice recognition sensor available: No".

Security vulnerabilities in Google TV

Supported

This model is still receiving firmware/platform updates.

What that actually means for your TV →

Sony published firmware v114.602.170.1 for this series on 4 August 2026. This proves active firmware support at that date, but is not a promise of a particular future support period. In the UK, Sony's security update table gives a support period ending 14 March 2027 for the XR-55, XR-65 and XR-77A95L, and Sony UK published firmware v114.603.100.1 on 24 September 2026.

Automatic content recognition (ACR), including over HDMI

Unverified

Whether this model runs ACR hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

Sony has used Samba Interactive TV ACR on specifically listed older BRAVIA models, and the Texas Attorney General alleges wider ACR use on Sony smart TVs. Neither source confirms this named series. Sony's current Samba support list does not include it, but absence from that list is not proof that no other ACR implementation is present.
