Notes on connecting cables
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
It is not necessary to connect all of the cables. Connect cables according to the availability of jacks on the
connected device.

use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet that supports
18 Gbps is required for 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc. For details about the high
bandwidth video format, see “
Video formats supported by the receiver.”
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable
to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate audio cables or digital connecting
cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not output correctly.
When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.
Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.
When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, be sure
to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “
Setting HDMI signal formats (HDMI Signal Format).”
Hint
All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.
If you want to connect several digital devices, but cannot find an unused input
In this case, reassign the input jacks.

About HDMI connections
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface that transmits video and audio signals in digital
format. Connecting devices made by Sony that are “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible makes operations simpler.
If you are using a BRAVIA TV with the series name X950B, X900B or X850B:
Connect the cable to the HDMI IN 1 jack of your TV.
If you are using a different 4K TV or 4K projector:
Connect to one of the HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI input jacks. If the jack is not compatible with the ARC
(Audio Return Channel) function, also connect an optical digital cable. For details, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your 4K TV or 4K projector.
