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

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

  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 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 jack when in standby mode. Sony recommends this setting if you are using a TV that is not manufactured by Sony.
    • 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].
  • 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/HDMI ZONE jack.
  • [Auto] may work on other devices than those manufactured by Sony. However, operation is not guaranteed.
