Enjoying content of a connected device without turning on the unit (Standby Through)

This function allows you to enjoy the sound and image of a connected device without turning on the unit.

  1. Select [Setup] - [HDMI Settings] from the home menu.
  2. Select [Standby Through].
  3. Select the setting you want.
    • Auto: The unit outputs HDMI signals to the TV from the HDMI OUT A (TV) jack when the TV is turned on while the unit is in the standby mode.
      Sony recommends this setting if you are using a “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible TV manufactured by Sony. This setting saves power in the standby mode compared to the [On] setting.
    • On: The unit continuously outputs HDMI signals from the HDMI OUT A (TV) jack when in standby mode. Sony recommends this setting if you are using a TV that is not manufactured by Sony.
    • Off: The unit does not output HDMI signals when in standby mode. This setting saves power in the standby mode compared to the [On] setting.

Note

  • When the unit is in standby mode, the (power) indicator on the front panel lights up in amber if [Standby Through] is set to [On] or [Auto].
  • When [Auto] is selected, it may take a little more time for the image and sound to be output to the TV than when [On] is selected.
  • This function does not work for the HDMI OUT B/ZONE 2 jack.
  • [Auto] may work on other devices than those manufactured by Sony. However, operation is not guaranteed.
