Contents listUsing HDMI devices efficiently
The Control for HDMI function of the system complies with the Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) standards.
If you connect the processor with a TV, or a BD/DVD device, etc., of Sony or other manufacturers that supports the CEC standards, by connecting an HDMI cable, you can use the interlock function as described below. (The control functions of other manufacturers’ products are not guaranteed to work.)
To use the Control for HDMI function on the processor, set [Control for HDMI:] to [On] on the menu. [Details]
The “MODE1” and “MODE2” positions on the CONTROL FOR HDMI switch
In the CEC standards, only one audio system (an AV amplifier, headphones, etc.) should be connected to a TV, etc. Therefore, when an AV amplifier (theater rack), home theater system, etc., that supports CEC is connected to the TV, etc., you must use the processor as an audio selector (MODE2), not as an audio system (MODE1). The following functions work in each mode. When you do not use an AV amplifier (theater rack), home theater system, etc., it is recommended that you set the CONTROL FOR HDMI switch to “MODE1.”
Operating connected devices (BD/DVD device, etc.) (One-touch play)
When you start playback on a connected device, the TV turns on automatically, and while the processor is in standby mode, the audio and video of the connected device are output from the TV. When the CONTROL FOR HDMI switch is set to “MODE1,” and the speaker setting on the TV is set to audio system, this system is turned on and the sound is heard from the headphones of this system.
Note
-
The very beginning of the audio and video may not be output, depending on the TV.
