• The system is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) function.
If
you
connect the system to the
ARC-
compatible
TV's
HOMI
jack
via an HOMI cable, you do not need to connect the TV to the system with the digital
optical cord (page 42).
• You can see the letters
"ARC"
beside the
TV's
HOMIjack
if
it
is compatible with the ARC function. Even
if
you
connect an HOMI cable to the jack,
if
the HOMI input
jack
is not compatible with the ARC function, you cannot
use the ARC function.
• The ARC function
is
available only when Control for HOMI
is
set to on.
• Oepending on the satellite tuner, multi-channel sound may not be output. In this case, connect a digital optical cord
in addition to an HOMI cable and set
"INPUT
MODE" to
"OPT"
in the
AMP
menu (page 50).
• Connecta "PlayStation
3,"
etc., to any available HOMIjack. All the HOMI
jacks
on the system function
in
the
same
way.
• The HOMI
jack
connections have priority when you connect different components to the system using the
INPUT
OPT/INPUT
COAX
and HOMI jacks.
• When connecting a TV that does not have a digital optical audio output jack, connect the
TV
to the system using
an analog audio cord (not supplied).
• Even
if
the system is turned
off
(active standby mode), the
HOMI
signal will be sent from the connected component
to the TV via the HOMI connection. You can enjoy image and sound from the component
on
the TV.
Notes
on
HDMI
connections
• Use a High Speed HDMI cable.
If
you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Color, or
3D
images
may not be displayed properly.
• Sony recommends that you use an HDMI-authorized cable or Sony HDMI cable.
• Check the setup
of
the connected component
if
an image is poor or the sound does not come out
of
a
component connected via the HDMI cable.
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be
suppressed by the connected component.
• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number
of
channels
of
audio output
signals from the playback component is switched.
• When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the
image and/or the sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification
of
the connected component.
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable.
• When "TV," "DMPORT," "SA-CD/CD," "VIDEO," "TUNER FM,"
or
"TUNER AM" is selected
for the input source
of
the system, video signals via the HDMI input
jack
(BD, DVD, SAT/CATV)
that was selected last time are output from the HDMI TV OUT jack.
• This system supports Deep Color, "x.v.Color," and 3D transmission.
•
To
enjoy 3D images, connect 3D-compatible TV and video components (Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-
ray Disc recorder, "PlayStation 3," etc.) to the system using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D
glasses, and then play back 3D-compatible content.
