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 version1.3, category 2 cable) when you view images or listen to sound during a 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 “Digital Assign” when the sound is not output correctly.

Notes on HDMI connections

•An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and HDMI OUT jack. It is not 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 OUT” to “TV+AMP” in the HDMI menu (page 54). If you cannot play back multi channel software, set to “AMP”. However, the sound will not output from the TV speaker.

•DSD signals of Super Audio CD are not input and output.

•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 or the number of channels 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 player to more than 720p/1080i to enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD).

•The image resolution of player 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, version 1.3, may not support Deep Color.

•Refer to the operating instructions of each connected component for details.
