Sony's UK specifications for the 55- to 98-inch K-…XR75M2 give "(Built-in Mic) Yes" and a built-in microphone switch at the bottom left; no UK specification page was found for the 50-inch. Sony's product information sheets say "Voice recognition sensor available: No", but Sony's sheets for the BRAVIA 8 II, whose UK specifications also list a built-in microphone, say the same. Where the maker's own specifications and the EU product information sheet differ, this site follows the maker's specifications.
