Connecting an audio system
See the illustrations below to connect an audio system such as an AV receiver or sound bar. After finishing the
connection, configure the audio settings to play TV sound through the audio system (refer to the related topic link at the
bottom of this page).
To connect an ARC capable audio system using an HDMI cable
If your audio system features HDMI output jacks (sockets), you can connect the TV to your audio system using an HDMI
cable.
(A) AV receiver or sound bar
(B) HDMI cable (not supplied)
Be sure to use an authorized HIGH SPEED HDMI cable bearing the HDMI logo.
Hint
When connecting a BRAVIA Sync-compatible digital audio system with Audio Return Channel (ARC) technology,
connect it to the HDMI IN jack (socket) labeled with the “ARC” mark with an HDMI cable. However, if connecting a
system that is not BRAVIA Sync-compatible or Audio Return Channel capable, you must also connect the TV to the
audio system using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack (socket).
See the instruction manual of the audio system for details on connecting other devices and for set-up. If the audio
system is not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS, set [Settings] — [Sound] — [Digital audio out] to [PCM].
Note
The location of the HDMI port that supports ARC varies depending on your model. Refer to the Reference Guide.
