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.
