13GB 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, you cannot enjoy the TV’s sound from the stand only with HDMI connection. 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. By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync- compatible components using HDMI cables, ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes operations simpler (page 31). Connect the AC power cord (mains lead) after you have finished connecting all components to the stand.

14GB Even if the stand is turned off (active standby mode), the HDMI signal will be sent from the connected component to the TV via the HDMI connection. You can enjoy image and sound of the component on the TV. 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. When “TV,” “FM,” “AM,” or “DMPORT” is selected for the input source of the stand, video signals via the HDMI input jack (SAT/CATV, DVD, BD) that was selected last time are output from the HDMI TV OUT jack. Tip Notes
15GB Getting Started When you connect a DVD player (recorder), satellite tuner, “PlayStation 2,” etc., that has no HDMI jacks, connect its video signal jack directly to the TV, and its audio signal jack to the stand using the INPUT OPT jack or INPUT COAX jack.It is not necessary to connect all the cables.

16GB Set “CTRL: HDMI” to “OFF” in the AMP menu of the stand when connecting components without HDMI jacks (page 33). Even if “CTRL: HDMI” is set to “ON,” you can enjoy a video cassette recorder, etc., that does not have surround channels by connecting its audio and video output jacks directly to the TV instead of the stand. 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. Depending on the audio output settings of the connected component, the sound may output in 2 channel sound format only. In this case, set the connected component to output the sound in multi channel sound format (PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital). For details on audio output settings, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the connected component. Notes Setting up the sound output of the connected component
