Hello all
The aim of this thread is to collate all the issues that are currently outstanding and to provide feedback to everyone in this thread. This thread will be a work in progress and updates on various reported issues will be posted back here on the pages below.
Only issues that can be confirmed by multiple people will be posted here.
NOTE: For anyone experiencing other issues not mentioned here - can you please ensure that you factory reset the TV. Instructions are located: HERE
Update: Due to some TVs that will be on Marshmallow and others that will be on Nougat, this list will be separated into two (ATV1 and ATV2 - see below for model numbers for the difference). If the fault occurs on both versions of Android, it will be listed under both lists.
Current Faults (ATV 1 - Marshmallow):
Current Faults (ATV 2 - Nougat):
Issues Resolved/Closed:
Double Overlay of top Info Banners
Problem:
In the favorite channel list, after changing channels, the tv shows double Info Banners. It happens on dvb-t. Only by favorite channels. Both analog and digital.
1. It is happening with all the channels in my favourite list.
2. There is no difference between HD and SD
3. DVB/T/2
It looks like there is the normal info banner and a new one, a favourite info banner. If I'm in the favourite list, the new banner is on top. If I press the info button it shows single, old type of extended banner.
Outside the favourite list there is only the old banner.

Delay in changing volume using TV remote to external audio system via HDMI-ARC
Problem:
When using the TV remote control to change the volume and using an external audio device via Bravia Sync, there is a delay. Using the native remote control for the external audio device produces no delay. Seems most prevailant when holding the volume button down. Issue appeared with the Marshmallow update released on 22nd February 2017.

Amazon App - Lip Sync Issues
Problem:
Many people are complaining about lip sync issues when playing back content via the Amazon Video app. It appears that the issue lies with content using Dolby Digital Plus. This issue is not unique to Sony TVs, which therefore indicates that Amazon are the ones that can fix this.

Favorites List in EPG - Closing when changing to external input or app
Problem:
When using 'favourites' in the EPG and then switching to an external input or going to an app the TV gives a message of "leaving favorites". This therefore means you have to manually go back into favourites again when going back to the EPG (i.e. Action Menu > Guide Source > Favourites 1) - which didnt need to be done when using 'Lollipop' version of Android.

Cannot grant 'write' permissions on USB Drives
Problem:
Since the Marshmallow update, people are complaining that they can no longer write to USB drives that are connected to the TV. There seems to be no way to grant write permissions on attached USB drives.

USB Drive used for internal storage keeps disappearing
Problem:
It seems that when the TV enters 'deep sleep' mode, there are occasions when a USB drive that has been formatted to be used as internal storage fails to re-mount itself. Issue seems to be more prevalent when the USB drive is connected to the USB3.0 HDD Rec port of the TV.
Work around:
If the USB drive fails to re-mount itself, reboot the TV or unplug the USB drive and replug it in a different port.

3D within 3rd party apps "Function not supported" Error
Problem:
In reference to another bug/issue within Android 5.1 (Lollipop) HERE - the work-around posted no longer works within Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). When using the work-around to enable 3D as the option is not available in the Action Menu, an error message is displayed "Function not supported".
It appears Sony has closed this work around within 3rd Party video apps for which 3D is only available within the native 'Video' app. However 3D mode works in third-party media players if stereo-movie could activate 3D-mode by it self
