Connecting a TV
Connect a TV to the HDMI OUT or MONITOR OUT jack. You can operate this receiver using the
menu on the TV screen when you connect the TV to the HDMI OUT jack.
For a 4K TV connection, visit the Help Guide.
Notes on connection
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
Connect a TV monitor or a projector to the HDMI OUT A (TV), HDMI OUT B/HDMI ZONE or
MONITOR OUT jack on the receiver.
Sony recommends that you use an HDMI authorized cable or HDMI cable made by Sony. Be sure
to use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet
is required for 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit etc.
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate
audio cables or digital connecting cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not
output correctly.
Depending on the status of the connection between the TV and the antenna (aerial), the image
on the TV screen may be distorted. If this is the case, place the antenna (aerial) farther away
from the receiver.
When connecting an optical digital cable, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.
Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.
All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling
frequencies.
When connecting a TV to the receiver via the TV IN jacks of the receiver, set the sound output
jack of the TV to “Fixed” if it can be switched between “Fixed” or “Variable”.
When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0
10 bit, be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “Setting HDMI signal format”
(page 37).
When you connect the TV to HDMI OUT B/HDMI ZONE jack, be sure to set [HDMI Out B Mode]
to [Main] in [HDMI Settings]. The home menu is not displayed on the TV screen if [HDMI Out B
