Notes on connecting cables
• We recommend that you use a Sony HDMI
cable.
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable. When you connect an
HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D
component, the sound and/or the image may
not be output.
Notes on HDMI connections
• Audio signals input to the HDMI IN jack can
only be output from the SPEAKERS jacks
and HDMI OUT jack. The audio input
signals cannot be output from any other
audio jacks.
• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can
only be output from the HDMI OUT jack.
The video input signals cannot be output
from the VIDEO OUT jacks or MONITOR
OUT jacks.
• When you want to listen to the sound from
the TV speaker, set “AUDIO FOR HDMI”
to “TV+AMP” in the VIDEO menu (page
44). If you cannot play back multi channel
software, set to “AMP”. However, the sound
will not output from the TV speaker.
• The multi/stereo area audio signals of a
Super Audio CD are not output.
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit
length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack
may be suppressed by the connected
component. Check the setup of the
connected component if the image is poor or
the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HDMI cable.
• Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency, the number of channels
or the audio format of the audio output
signals from the playback component is
switched.
• When the connected component is not
compatible with copyright protection
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the
sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be
distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the
connected component.
• You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM
only with an HDMI connection.
• Set the resolution of the image of the
playback component to 720p, 1080i or
1080p when you output 96 kHz multi
channel sound over an HDMI connection.
• You may need to make certain settings on
the image resolution of the player before you
can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer
to the operation instructions of the player.
• Refer to the operating instructions of each
connected component for details.
