“BRAVIA” Sync Features

What is “BRAVIA”

Sync?

The “BRAVIA” Sync function allows

communication between Sony products

such as TV, Blu-ray Disc player, DVD

player, AV amplifier, etc. that supports the

Control for HDMI function.

By connecting Sony equipment that is

compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync with

an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is

simplified as follows:

• One-Touch Play (page 48)

• System Audio Control (page 49)

• System Power-Off (page 49)

• Scene Select (page 50)

• Home Theatre Control (page 50)

• Remote Easy Control (page 50)

Control for HDMI is a mutual control

function standard used by HDMI CEC

(Consumer Electronics Control) for HDMI

(High-Definition Multimedia Interface).

We recommend that you connect the

receiver to products featuring “BRAVIA”

Sync.

• You may use “One Touch Play”, “System

Audio Control”, and “System Power-Off”

function with non-Sony equipment. However,

compatibility with all non-Sony equipment is

not guaranteed.

• “Scene Select” and “Home Theatre Control”

features are Sony proprietary functions. They

cannot operate with non-Sony equipment.

• Equipment not compatible with “BRAVIA”

Sync cannot activate these features.

Preparing for the

“BRAVIA” Sync

The receiver is compatible with the

“Control for HDMI-Easy Setting”

function.

• If your TV is compatible with the

“Control for HDMI-Easy Setting”

function, you can set the Control for

HDMI function of the receiver and

playback equipment automatically by

setting the Control for HDMI function on

your TV (page 47).

• If your TV is not compatible with the

“Control for HDMI-Easy Setting”

function, set the Control for HDMI

function of the receiver, playback

equipment and TV individually

(page 48).

If your TV is compatible

with the “Control for HDMI-

Easy Setting” function

1Connect the receiver, TV and

playback equipment via HDMI

connection (page 21).

(The respective equipment must be

compatible with the Control for HDMI

function.)

2Turn on the receiver, TV and

playback equipment.

3Turn on the Control for HDMI

function of the TV.

The Control for HDMI function of the

receiver and all the connected equipment

are turned on simultaneously. Wait until

“COMPLETE” appears. The setup is

complete.

For details on setup of the TV, refer to the

operating instructions of your TV.
