[25] Preparation 3. Connecting a TV

Connecting a 4K TV

All HDMI jacks on the receiver support 4K resolution and HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System Revision 2.2). HDCP 2.2 is newly enhanced copyright protection technology that is used to protect content such as 4K movies.

Page 30

To watch HDCP 2.2 protected content such as 4K content, connect the HDMI jacks to jacks that

support HDCP 2.2 on the TV and AV device. For details on whether the TV and AV device are equipped with HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI jack, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device. 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, etc., be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “Setting HDMI signal formats (HDMI Signal Format).”

When an HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI jack on the TV is labeled “ARC” (*)

HDMI cable (not supplied)

The ARC (Audio Return Channel) function sends digital sound from a TV to the receiver using only an HDMI cable.

Note

When you want to watch HDCP 2.2 protected content and the non-HDCP 2.2compatible HDMI jack on the TV is labeled “ARC”

If the HDMI jack on the TV is labeled ARC and is not HDCP 2.2-compatible, connect the receiver to the HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI jack on the TV using a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. Then, connect an optical digital cable to the optical output jack of the TV to listen to digital sound.

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. When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place. Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.

Hint

All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

If you want to connect several digital devices, but cannot find an unused input

In this case, reassign the input jacks.

About HDMI connections

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface that transmits video and audio signals in digital format. Connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible devices using HDMI cables simplifies operations.

HDMI features

Digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS, DSD, and Linear PCM. The receiver can receive Multi Channel Linear PCM (up to 8 channels) with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz or less via an HDMI connection. This receiver supports High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), Deep Color (Deep Colour), and 4K or 3D transmission. To enjoy 3D content, connect a 3D-compatible TV and video device (Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-ray Disc recorder, PlayStation 4, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI Cables with Ethernet, put on 3D glasses, and then play 3D-compatible content. To enjoy 4K content, connect a 4K-compatible TV or video device (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI Cables with Ethernet, and then play 4K-compatible content. Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet that supports 18 Gbps is required for 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc. All HDMI jacks on the receiver support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System Revision 2.2 (HDCP 2.2). Connect these HDMI jacks to jacks that support HDCP 2.2 on the TV and AV device. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected device for details. The HDMI OUT and HDMI IN jacks (except the HDMI IN VIDEO 1 jack) support bandwidth up to 18 Gbps. The HDMI IN VIDEO 1 jack supports bandwidth up to 9 Gbps. All HDMI jacks on the receiver support 4K, HDCP 2.2, ITU-R BT.2020 wide color spaces, 3D, Deep Color (Deep Colour), and HDR (High Dynamic Range) contents pass-through. The HDMI OUT A (TV) jack supports Audio Return Channel (ARC). HDCP 2.2 is newly enhanced copyright protection technology that is used to protect content such as 4K movies. BT.2020 color space is new wider color standard that is defined for ultra-high definition television systems.
