Other Functions

Using the Control for

HDMI function

By using the Control for HDMI function, and connecting a device that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function via an HDMI cable (High Speed type), operation is simplified with the features below.

The Control for HDMI function is enabled by setting [CTRL (Control for

HDMI)] to [ON] (page 17). The default

setting is [ON].

Control for HDMI is a mutual control function standard used by HDMI CEC

(Consumer Electronics Control) for HDMI

(High-Definition Multimedia Interface).

System Power Off

When you turn off the TV, the system and the connected device will turn off automatically.

System Audio Control

If you turn on the system while you are watching the TV, the TV sound will be output from the speakers of the system automatically.

The volume of the system will be adjusted when you adjust the volume using the TV’s remote control.

If the TV sound was output from the speakers of the system the last time you watched the TV, the system will be turned on automatically when you turn on the TV again.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

If the TV is compatible with the Audio

Return Channel (ARC) technology, an

HDMI cable connection will allow you to listen to the TV sound from the speakers of the system.

The ARC function is enabled by setting

[ARC (Audio return channel)] to [ON]

(page 17). The default setting is [ON].

One-Touch Play

When you activate the device (Blu-ray

Disc player, “PlayStation

®

4,” etc.) connected to the system with a High

Speed HDMI cable, the connected TV is turned on automatically and the input signal of the system is switched to the appropriate HDMI input.

Home Theatre Control

If a Home Theatre Control-compatible

TV is connected to the system, the system menu appears on the connected

TV. You can switch an input of the system or switch sound fields by using the remote control of your TV. You can also adjust the settings of voice level, subwoofer volume, treble, bass, night mode, Dual Mono, or A/V Sync.

Your TV must be able to access a broadband service to use the Home

Theatre Control function.

Notes

• The above features may not operate with certain device.

Using “BRAVIA” Sync features

The original Sony functions listed below can also be used with products that are compatible with “BRAVIA” Sync.

Power save

If a “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible TV is connected to the system, the power consumption will be reduced in standby mode by stopping HDMI signal transmission when the TV is turned off with the HDMI standby-through function* of the system set to [AUTO]

(page 17). The default setting is [AUTO].

If any TV other than “BRAVIA” is connected, set the item to [ON]

(page 17).

* The HDMI standby-through function is used to output the signals from the HDMI

OUT jack of this system even if it is in standby mode.

Notes on HDMI connections

• Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p,

Deep Color, 3D, and 4K content may not be displayed properly.

• Use an HDMI-authorized cable.

Use a Sony High Speed HDMI cable with the Cable Type Logo.

• We do not recommend using an

HDMI-DVI conversion cable.

• Check the setup of the connected equipment if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of the equipment connected via the HDMI cable.

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected equipment.

• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number of channels of audio output signals from the playback equipment is switched.

• If the connected equipment is not compatible with copyright-protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack of this system may be distorted or may not be output. In such a case, check the specifications of the connected equipment.

• When “TV” is selected as the input source of the system, video signals via one of the HDMI IN 1/2/3 jacks selected last time are output from the

HDMI OUT jack.

• This system supports Deep Color,

“x.v.Colour,” 3D, and 4K transmission.

• To enjoy 3D content, connect a 3Dcompatible TV and video equipment

(Blu-ray Disc player, “PlayStation

®

4,” etc.) to the system using High Speed

HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then play back a 3D-compatible Bluray Disc, etc.

• Be sure to subcontract the installation to

Sony dealers or licensed contractors and pay special attention to safety during the installation.
