[39] Preparation 4. Connecting audio-visual devices and the antennas (aerials)

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.

Sony recommends that you use an HDMI cable made by Sony or another HDMI-authorized cable. Be sure to

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.
