Using the HDMI CONTROL function for ‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync

To use ‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync, set the HDMI
CONTROL function as explained below.
By connecting Sony components that are
compatible with the HDMI CONTROL function
with an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is
simplified as below:

• One-Touch Play: When you play back a
component such as a DVD/Blu-ray Disc
player, the stand and the TV are turned on
automatically and switch to the appropriate
HDMI input.

• System Audio Control: While watching TV,
you can select to output the sound from the TV
speaker or the speakers of the stand.

HDMI CONTROL is a mutual control function
standard used by HDMI CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface).

The HDMI CONTROL function will
not operate in the following
cases:

• When you connect this stand to a component
which is not correspond with Sony’s HDMI
CONTROL function.

• When you connect the stand and components
using other than HDMI connection.

We recommend that you connect this stand to
products featuring ‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync.

Notes

• Do not use the Input SYNC function while the

HDMI CONTROL function is active. For details,
see the operating instructions of the stand.

• Depending on the connected component, the HDMI

CONTROL function may not work. See the operating
instructions of the component.
