Sony Rht G900 Operating Instructions

							11GB
Getting Started
We recommend that you connect components to 
the stand using an HDMI cable.
With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high 
quality sound and high quality images.
However, it is necessary to connect the audio 
output of the TV to the audio input of the 
stand using an optical cable or an audio cord
in order listen to the TV’s sound from the stand.
For details on the Control for HDMI function, 
refer to ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” 
(page 27).
Connect the AC power cord (mains lead) after 
you have finished connecting all components to 
the stand.

 Refer to page 13 for how to connect a component 
without an HDMI jack.
 The HDMI jack has priority when you connect the 
component to the stand using INPUT OPT, INPUT 
COAX and HDMI together.
 The INPUT OPT jack has priority when you connect 
both the audio output of the TV to the INPUT OPT 
and INPUT ANALOG jack of the stand.
Notes on HDMI connections
 You can enjoy high quality images using an 
HDMI cable with an HDMI logo. We 
recommend that you use a Sony HDMI cable.
 Check the setup of the connected component if 
an image is poor or the sound does not come 
out of a component connected via the HDMI 
cable.
 Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, 
etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be 
suppressed by the connected component.
 Sound may be interrupted when the sampling 
frequency or the number of channels of audio 
output signals from the playback component is 
switched.
 When the connected component is not 
compatible with copyright protection 
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the 
sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be 
distorted or may be not output.
In this case, check the specification of the 
connected component.
 We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI 
conversion cable.
 No matter what input is selected for the stand, 
video signals from the HDMI input jack (BD, 
DVD or SAT) that was selected last time are 
output from the HDMI TV OUT jack.

Getting Started
When you connect a DVD player (recorder), 
satellite tuner, “PlayStation 2”, etc., that has no 
HDMI jacks, connect to the stand using the 
INPUT OPT or INPUT COAX jack.
If a component connected to INPUT SAT jacks 
does not have an OPTICAL OUT jack, connect this stand using the INPUT COAX jack. In this 
case, it is not necessary to connect all the cables. 
Connect the audio cords according to the jacks of 
your components.
Connect the AC power cord (mains lead) last.
