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

You can output HDMI signals to the TV even when the receiver is in standby mode.

  1. Select [Setup] - [HDMI Settings] from the home menu.
  2. Select [Standby Through].
  3. Select the setting you want.
    • Auto: The receiver outputs HDMI signals to the TV from the HDMI OUT A jack when the TV is turned on while the receiver 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 receiver continuously outputs HDMI signals from the HDMI OUT A jack when in standby mode.
    • Off: The receiver 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 receiver is in standby mode, the (power) indicator on the front panel lights up in amber if [Standby Through] is set to [On] or [Auto].
  • The top of the cabinet may become hot. This is because part of the circuit(s) inside the receiver is(are) still turned on, and is not a malfunction.
  • 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.
