To connect an ARC capable audio system using an HDMI cable
If your audio system features HDMI output jacks (sockets), you can connect the TV to your audio system using an HDMI cable.
- AV receiver or sound bar
- HDMI cable (not supplied)*
* Be sure to use an authorised HIGH SPEED HDMI cable bearing the HDMI logo.
Hint
- When connecting a BRAVIA Sync-compatible digital audio system with Audio Return Channel (ARC) technology, connect it to the HDMI 輸入 jack (socket) labelled with the “ARC” mark with an HDMI cable. However, if connecting a system that is not BRAVIA Sync-compatible or Audio Return Channel capable, you must also connect the TV to the audio system using the 光纖數位聲音輸出 jack (socket).
- See the instruction manual of the audio system for details on connecting other devices and for set-up. If the audio system is not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS, set [Settings] — [Sound] — [Digital audio out] to [PCM].
Note
- The location of the HDMI port that supports ARC varies depending on your model. Refer to the Reference Guide.
