If you connect to a TV that is not compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC)

function or you want to select an audio signal using a cable other than an HDMI cable

(e.g. via an optical digital cable or an audio cable)

Select [Setup] - [Input Setup] - [Input Mode] and switch the audio input mode.

Note

Be sure to turn off the volume of the TV or activate the muting function of the TV.

If your TV does not support the System Audio Control function, set [Audio Out] to [TV + AMP] in the [HDMI Setup]

menu to output the sound of the TV from the TV speaker and the speakers connected to the receiver.

[142] Adjusting Settings HDMI Setup

Enjoying content of a connected device without turning on

the receiver (Standby Through)

You can output HDMI signals to the TV even when the receiver is in standby mode.

Note

When the receiver is in standby mode, the (power) indicator on the front panel lights up in amber if [Standby

Through] is set to [On] or [Auto].

The top of the cabinet may become hot. This is because part of the circuit(s) inside the receiver is(are) still turned on,

and is not a malfunction.

When [Auto] is selected, it may take a little more time for the image and sound to be output to the TV than when [On]

Off: The sound of the TV connected to the receiver via the HDMI OUT A jack is not output from the

receiver even when TV input is selected.

Select [Setup] - [HDMI Setup] from the home menu.

Select [Standby Through].

Select the setting you want.

Auto: The receiver outputs HDMI signals to the TV from the HDMI OUT A jack when the TV is turned

on while the receiver is in the standby mode.

Sony recommends this setting if you are using a “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible TV manufactured by Sony.

This setting saves power in the standby mode compared to the [On] setting.

On: The receiver continuously outputs HDMI signals from the HDMI OUT A jack when in standby mode.

Off: The receiver does not output HDMI signals when in standby mode. This setting saves power in the

standby mode compared to the [On] setting.
