Re: Explorer 4250hd no signal to Sony Bravia
I got a smaller Sony Bravia. And a D-Link DSM-510 "Media Lounge" to pull my media files from my computer (using the TVersity media server). Unlike the ancient Zenith, which it replaces, the Sony Bravia has multiple inputs (as you finally discovered). But I've also worked with a Kenwood that has two video inputs, so I was already aware of the issue with multiple inputs.
Sorry, but the Bravia manual definitely does explain the input select on the menu. Different model, so the page numbering may not match, but my manual has the explanation for the remote on page 25.
BTW, Best Buy tried to sell me the Monster HDMI cable, but I opted for a less expensive "no-name" brand in the store. It connects the D-Link to the Bravia, and works perfectly.

Even with the no-name, which I believe would be the Dynex cables for BB, they are still charging $30 for a 6' HDMI cable -- total ripoff.. Monoprice charges $3.56 for a 6' HDMI 1.3a Cat 2 certified cable. |

Lots of cables there too. And as bad as Cablevision may be they include a set of component cables with every HD box to get you going. |

Cablevision doesn't provide cable service here, and I don't have cable TV service, anyway. The box I bought at Fry's Electronics; made by D-Link. Only came with a component cable. The box has nothing to do with either cable TV (Comcast), or satellite TV (DirecTV).
