Notes
• All the HDMI jacks on the system function in the same way. If you want to connect a DVD player in addition to a
Blu-ray Disc player, use any available HDMI jack.
• The system is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) function. If you connect the system to the Audio
Return Channel (ARC)-compatible TV’s HDMI jack via an HDMI cable, you do not need to connect the TV to the
system with the digital optical cord (page 38).
• You can see the letters “ARC” beside the TV’s HDMI jack if it is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) function. Even if you connect an HDMI cable to the jack, if the HDMI input jack is not compatible with the Audio
Return Channel (ARC) function, you cannot use the Audio Return Channel (ARC) function.
• The Audio Return Channel (ARC) function is available only when Control for HDMI is set to on.
• Depending on the satellite tuner, multi-channel sound may not be output. In this case, connect a digital optical cord
in addition to an HDMI cable and set “INPUT MODE” to “OPT” in the AMP menu (page 38).
• The HDMI jack connections have priority as the default setting when you connect different equipment to the system using the DIGITAL OPT and HDMI jacks.
Tip
• Even if the system is turned off (active standby mode), the HDMI signal will be sent from the connected equipment to the TV via the HDMI connection. You can enjoy image and sound from the equipment on the TV.

The subwoofer turns on automatically (the
LINK/STANDBY indicator turns green) when the receiver is turned on and wireless transmission is activated.
To specify a wireless connection
If you use multiple wireless products, you can prevent interference by specifying the wireless connection to be used to link the receiver to the subwoofer (Secure Link function).
For details, see “Activating wireless transmission between specific units (SECURE
Preparing for “BRAVIA”
Sync
