Getting Started

Notes on connecting cables

• We recommend that you use a Sony HDMI

cable.

• We recommend that you use an HDMI cable

with the HDMI logo (made by Sony) for the

HDMI jack corresponding to high speed (an

HDMI version1.3a, category 2 cable) when

you view images or listen to sound during a

Deep Colour (Deep Color) transmission or

when you watch a video image of 1080p or

higher.

• 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. Connect other audio cords or

digital connecting cords, then set “Input

Assign” in the Input Option menu when the

sound is not output correctly.

Notes on HDMI connections

• Check the setup of the connected component

if an image is poor or the sound does not

come out of a component connected via the

HDMI cable.

• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack

is output from the speaker output jacks,

HDMI OUT jack and PRE OUT jacks. It is

not output from any other audio jacks.

• A video signal input to the HDMI IN jack

can only be output from the HDMI OUT

jack. The video input cannot be output from

the VIDEO OUT jacks or MONITOR

VIDEO OUT jacks.

• The audio and video signals of HDMI input

are not output from the HDMI OUT jack

while the receiver menu is displayed.

• When you want to listen to the sound from

the TV speaker, set “Audio Out” to

“TV+AMP” in the HDMI settings menu

(page 57). If you cannot play back multi

channel audio source, set to “AMP”.

However, the sound will not output from the

TV speaker.

• DSD signals of Super Audio CD are not

input and output.

• Be sure to turn on the receiver when the

video and audio of a playback component

are being output to a TV via the receiver. If

the power supply of the receiver is not turned

on, neither video nor audio is transmitted.

• 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 an 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 audio format of 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 High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD

Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), multi

channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI

connection.

• Set the image resolution of the playback

component to more than 720p to enjoy High

Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio,

Dolby TrueHD).

• The image resolution of playback

component may need certain settings be

made before you can enjoy multi channel

Linear PCM. Refer to the operating

instructions of the player.

• Not every HDMI component supports all

functions that are defined by the specified

HDMI version. For example, components

that support HDMI, ver. 1.3a, may not

support Deep Colour (Deep Color).

• Refer to the operating instructions of each

component connected for details.
