Connecting a 4K TV
All HDMI jacks on the receiver support 4K resolution and HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System Revision 2.2).
HDCP 2.2 is newly enhanced copyright protection technology that is used to protect content such as 4K movies.
To watch HDCP 2.2 protected content such as 4K content, connect the HDMI jacks to jacks that support HDCP 2.2 on the TV and AV device. For details on whether the TV and AV device are equipped with HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI jack, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device.
When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc., be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “Setting HDMI signal formats (HDMI Signal Format).”
When an HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI jack on the TV is labeled “eARC” or “ARC” (*)
HDMI cable (not supplied)
* The eARC or ARC function sends digital sound from a TV to the receiver using only an HDMI cable.
Note
- Sony recommends that you use an HDMI cable made by Sony or another HDMI-authorized cable. Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet that supports 18 Gbps is required for 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc.
When you want to watch HDCP 2.2 protected content and the non-HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI jack on the TV is labeled “eARC” or “ARC”
If the HDMI jack on the TV is labeled “eARC” or “ARC” and is not HDCP 2.2-compatible, you will not be able to watch copyrighted content using this HDMI jack.
To watch copyrighted content with HDCP 2.2, connect to an HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI input jack on the TV.
With this connection, you will not be able to use the eARC or ARC function, so in order to listen to digital TV sound, it will be necessary to connect the TV’s optical output jack and the receiver’s OPTICAL IN jack using an optical digital cable.
