I have a Sony Bravia TV model KDL-46V2500 and a Sony receiver model STR-K7100. I bought these from an estate sale for a good price and they work fine. As a matter of interest, I am trying to figure out how old these are? Google-Fu turns up nothing, Sony's site is useless so I turn here. Anyone got a clue or somewhere I can find an answer.

My sudden interest in the age is that I have a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player that supports HDMI CEC, the standard(sic) for controlling other compatible devices with one remote via HDMI. I see that HDMI CEC has been around for a long time according to Wiki : "It was defined in HDMI Specification 1.0 and updated in HDMI 1.2, HDMI 1.2a and HDMI 1.3a (which added timer and audio commands to the bus)"

Sony calls it Bravia Link or Bravia Sync, but I can find no mention of it in any online manual for those products. They can't be so old that they have HDMI that supports HDPC(?), but not CEC?

Help?

It looks like the TV was released in 2007 and the receiver was sold as part of the HT-7100DH (Home theater in a box) set, which was also released in 2007.

I haven't found anything that says what HDMI version(s) they support.

Thanks, I couldn't even find the years for those. Theoretically they should support HDMI 1.0 spec at least for it to have HDMI ports, and for one of those to be a passthrough?
