Using HDMI connections
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface that transmits video and audio signals in digital format. Connecting devices made by Sony that are “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible makes operations simpler. See “Interlocking other devices using an HDMI connection (“BRAVIA” Sync).”
