I just got a new Bravia; I wish I could rename the inputs.

CAGiversary!
My girlfriend and I finally splurged on a nice TV (mainly so I can understand what the hell is going on in Dead Rising). It's got about a million inputs, and I've got about a million consoles in my living room, so we figured it's a good match. And it had this bullet point on the website about being able to rename the external inputs in the menu to match what's hooked up to them.

LIARS.

You can select from a default list of common components and change the name/icon of an input accordingly. Like 'DVD' or 'Receiver' or 'Cable.' Or 'Game.' And it has a little icon of a MadCatz PS2 controller or something. So, I have a choice of having my input menu have a dozen entries reading 'Composite' or a dozen entries reading 'Game,' all with identicle icons completely indistinguishable from one another. I don't understand why Sony couldn't have made a way to enter three or four characters and have the label display that. I mean, you can do it for TV channels.

At least I can read all the text in my 360 games now.
 
Go to the input list and change the label. All the way at the bottom, there should be one called "Edit". This lets you make a custom label. If it's the same as my Bravia, it's a max of 6 characters.
 
Weird. Maybe I'm just dumb, but I can't find anything like that. In the menu, if I select 'External Inputs' the only option is 'Label/Hide Inputs.' Clicking on that brings up a list of all the inputs and their labels. I can't find anything for editing them. I have a KDL-40V3000. Maybe it's only available on certain models?
