Useful functions
Using the Control for HDMI function
By using the Control for HDMI function, and connecting equipment that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function via a High Speed HDMI cable, operation is simplified with the features below. The Control for HDMI function is enabled by setting “CTRL (Control for HDMI)” to “ON” (page 10). The default setting is “ON.”
System Power Off
When you turn off the TV, the system and the connected equipment will turn off automatically.
System Audio Control
If you turn on the system while you are watching the TV, the TV sound will be output from the speakers of the system automatically. The volume of the system will be adjusted when you adjust the volume using the TV’s remote control.
If the TV sound was output from the speakers of the system the last time you watched the TV, the system will be turned on automatically when you turn on the TV again.
Audio Return Channel (ARC)
If the TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) technology, a High Speed HDMI cable connection will also allow sending digital audio signals from the TV to the system. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for listening to TV sound from the system.
The ARC function is enabled by setting “ARC (Audio return channel)” to “ON” (page 10). The default setting is “ON.”
One-Touch Play
When you activate the equipment (Blu-ray Disc™ player, “PlayStation®4,” etc.) connected to the system with a High Speed HDMI cable, the connected TV is turned on automatically and the input signal of the system is switched to the appropriate HDMI input.
Notes
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.
Power save
If a “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible TV is connected to the system, the power consumption will be reduced in standby mode by stopping HDMI signal transmission when the TV is turned off with the passthrough function* of the system set to “AUTO” (page 10).
The default setting is “AUTO.”
If any TV other than “BRAVIA” is connected, set the item to “ON” (page 10).
*The pass-through function for HDMI signals is used to output the signals from the HDMI OUT jack of this system even if it is in standby mode.
Notes on HDMI connections
Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Color, 3D, and 4K images may not be displayed properly.
Use an HDMI-authorized cable.
Use a Sony High Speed HDMI cable with the 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.
If the connected equipment is not compatible with copyrightprotection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack of this system may be distorted or may not be output. In such a case, check the specifications of the connected equipment.
When “TV” is selected as the input source of the system, video signals via one of the HDMI IN 1/2/3 jacks selected last time are output from the HDMI OUT jack.
This system supports Deep Color, “x.v.Colour,” 3D, and 4K transmission.
To enjoy 3D images, connect a 3D-compatible TV and video
equipment (Blu-ray Disc player, “PlayStation®4,” etc.) to the system using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then play back a 3D-compatible Blu-ray Disc, etc.
To enjoy 4K images, the TV and players that are connected to the system must be compatible with 4K images.
