Changing the name displayed on soundbar HT-ZF9

apjoseph — Tue, 14 Jan 2020 13:16:03 GMT

Hi, currently when I press the HDMI1 and HDMI2 button on my soundbar remote, it displays 'HDMI1' and 'HDMI2'. Is there anyway to rename it to something like 'TiVo' and 'XBOX'?

I can't find any info as to if this is possible or how to do it.

Thanks,

Hi @apjoseph , welcome to the community.

See if this works:

Press HOME. The home menu appears on the TV screen
Put the cursor on [HDMI1] or [HDMI2] on the home menu, then press OPTIONS. The options menu appears on the TV screen
Select [Input Label Setting]
Select the input name. You should be able to select the input name from a preset list.

Cheers

Mick

Hi @Mick_D Software version 2.22. Home -> cursor on [HDMI1] -> Options nothing happens, no options menu on mine 😂

Hi Mick_D,

Thank you for your reply, however, like SonyUser30Yrs, I have the same issue: nothing happens when I press 'Options' - no menu comes up.

Current set up is: TV is plugged into eARC both ends. On Soundbar, HDMI 1 is TiVo and HDMI 2 is Xbox X.

Thanks
