How do I know if Amazon Video On Demand HD content has 5.1 audio?
There are two ways to see if 5.1 audio is available for an HD movie or HD TV episode.
On the Amazon Video On Demand website you can find audio source information, including whether a video has 5.1 audio. This information is available for every video and can be found by selecting a movie or TV show and scrolling down to the Video Format Details section of the page.
On a Sony BRAVIA® device you can find 5.1 audio information in the HD movie or HD TV detail pages. On the bottom left of the detail page the audio encode will be identified as either 5.1 surround audio or stereo depending on the title.
Where do I find my Amazon videos on my BRAVIA® device?

To find more videos to buy and watch, browse our selection of movies and TV shows from the Video On Demand store on your BRAVIA® device or shop online in the Video On Demand Store on Amazon.com.
Why am I seeing buffering when watching videos?
Buffering, or a pause while loading or playing your video, is generally caused by a slow Internet connection speed. Your broadband Internet connection speed can vary for many reasons that are most likely not related to the Amazon Video On Demand service itself. Please check for these common issues:
Wireless Connection Strength
devices connected to the Internet through a wireless connection may experience slow connection speeds. To improve your wireless connection, try moving your wireless access point closer to your compatible BRAVIA® device. If possible, connect your broadband-enabled device using a wired Ethernet connection.
Shared Internet Connections
When your device is connected to the same Internet connection as other computers or devices, this can impact your BRAVIA® device's connection speed and video quality. This is most likely to happen when someone in your household is downloading files, playing video games, or watching videos online.
Connection to Your Internet Service Provider
If your connection speed is much worse than usual, you can try resetting your broadband modem or router to ensure you have the best possible connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If the unusually slow speeds continue, call your ISP to troubleshoot the problem if it persists.
