Notes on HDMI connections

  • HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface to send both video and digital audio signals simply by connecting an HDMI cable.

  • Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Color, 3D, and 4K images may not be displayed properly.

  • Use an HDMI-authorized cable. Use a Sony High Speed HDMI cable with Cable Type Logo.

  • Check the setup of the connected device if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of the device connected via an HDMI cable.

  • Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected device.

  • Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number of channels of audio output signals from the playback device is switched.

  • When the connected device is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack of the processor may be distorted or may not be output. In this case, check the specifications of the connected device.

  • We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable.

  • Even if an input other than HDMI is selected on the processor, the video signal of one of the devices connected to the HDMI IN jacks is output from the HDMI OUT jack.

  • This processor supports Deep Color, x.v.Color, 3D, and 4K transmission.

  • To enjoy 3D images, connect a 3D-compatible TV and video device (Blu-ray Disc player, PlayStation®3, etc.) to the processor using HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then play back a 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc.

  • To enjoy 4K images, the TV and players that are connected to the processor must be compatible with the 4K images.

  • Connection to audio and video jacks on your personal computer is not guaranteed to work with this system.
