Using 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. See “Interlocking other devices using an HDMI connection (“BRAVIA” Sync).”
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 (for non-USA and Canadian models only), and Linear PCM. For details, see “Digital audio formats supported by the receiver.”
- 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), “x.v.Color (x.v.Colour),” and 4K or 3D transmission.
- To enjoy 3D images, connect a 3D-compatible TV and video device (Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-ray Disc recorder, PlayStation 3, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then play 3D-compatible content.
Note
- Depending on the TV or video device, 4K or 3D images may not be displayed. Check the HDMI video formats supported by the receiver.
