This model is still receiving firmware/platform updates.

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

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.

Whether this model looks for other devices on your home network hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.

How to put a TV on its own network →

No model-specific investigation confirming continuous local-network scanning was found for this series. Ethernet, Wi-Fi, casting, and smart-home support do not by themselves establish that behaviour.
