Bravia Sync - Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K

I've recently purchased an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and connected it to my XF8096 TV.

 

I'm having a small problem with the Bravia Sync. When I press the Home button on the Fire Stick, my understanding is that it is supposed to switch input to the HDMI port that the Fire Stick is plugged into (HDMI4) but that doesn't happen. I have to manually select HDMI4 from the TV remote control.

 

I've gone into the Bravia Sync settings, but the Fire Stick isn't listed, and come to think of it neither was the Xbox One that was plugged into HDMI4 before the Fire Stick.

 

Any ideas as to what the issue might be?

 

Many thanks.

vista la bandierina.... pensavo fosse Messico LOL. No, non l'avevo notata, in veritá. In effetti é davvero un'eccezione che io "blogghi"; pur avendo vari cosiddetti "socials", mi cimento poco su di essi. La comunita italiana di Sony richiede un log in diverso?

Hi all, after doing everything listed above I still had the same problem, the TV would turn on but it wouldn't switch to the Fire TV input. This is how I fixed it..

TV: Settings ; Watching TV ; External Inputs ; BRAVIA Sync Controls (ON) ; Bravia Sync device list (ENABLE)

(IMPORTANT) Device control keys ;

Set to TUNING KEYS this should now turn on the TV and switch to the Fire TV home screen when the Home button is pressed on the Fire TV controller.

Try powering on the TV using the power button on the firestick. It should then respond
