Using the Control for HDMI function
By enabling the Control for HDMI function, and connecting equipment
that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function via an HDMI
cable, operation is simplified with the features below.
When you turn off the TV using the power button on the TV’s remote
control, the system and the connected equipment turn off
automatically.
If you turn on the system while you are watching the TV, the TV sound
is output from the speakers of the system automatically. The volume
of the system is adjusted when you adjust the TV volume.
If the TV sound was output from the speakers of the system the last
time you turned off the TV, the system is turned on automatically
when you turn on the TV again, and the TV sound is output from the
speakers of the system automatically.
If the TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC)
technology, an HDMI cable connection also sends a digital audio
signal from the TV to the system. You do not need to make a separate
audio connection for listening to TV sound from the system.
When you play the equipment connected to the system with an HDMI
cable, the connected TV is turned on automatically and the input
signal of the system is switched to the appropriate HDMI input.
 The above features may not operate with certain equipment.
 Depending on the settings of the connected equipment, the Control for
HDMI function may not work correctly. Refer to the operating instructions
of the equipment.
Using “BRAVIA” Sync features
The original Sony functions listed below can also be used with
products that are compatible with “BRAVIA” Sync.
If a “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible TV is connected to the system, the
power consumption is reduced in standby mode by stopping HDMI
signal transmission when TV is turned off.
 Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable,
1080p, Deep Color, or 3D/4K images may not be displayed properly.
 Use an HDMI-authorized cable.
Use a Sony High Speed HDMI cable with 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.
