Operating the Speaker System by Interlocking with a TV (Control for HDMI Function)

Connecting a TV compatible with the Control for HDMI function using an HDMI cable enables you to interlock the speaker system operation such as power on/off or volume adjustment with a TV.

About the Control for HDMI function

The Control for HDMI function is a function that enables operation of devices connected with an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable by interlocking them.

Although this function works for devices compatible with the Control for HDMI function, it may not work if connecting devices other than those manufactured by Sony.

Preparing to operate by interlocking with a TV

Enable the Control for HDMI function settings of the TV connected to the speaker system with an HDMI cable.

The Control for HDMI function setting is enabled by the default setting.

Hint

  • When connecting a device such as a Blu-ray Disc player to a TV with an HDMI cable, enable its Control for HDMI function.
  • To enable the Control for HDMI function of a TV or Blu-ray Disc player, refer to their operating instructions.
  • If you enable the Control for HDMI (“BRAVIA” sync) function when using a TV manufactured by Sony, the Control for HDMI function of the speaker system is also enabled automatically. When the setting is complete, [DONE] appears in the front panel display.
  • You can change the Control for HDMI function setting of the speaker system in [Settings] - [HDMI Settings] - [Control for HDMI] on the remote control screen of the app.
