It is not necessary to connect all the cords. Connect audio and video cords according to the jacks of your components.
Connect A or B To output the TV sound via the speakers connected to the receiver. Be sure to turn off the TVs volume or activate the TVs muting function. output the image to a TV while the sound can be output from a TV or/and speakers connected to the receiver. When the TV is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC) function, you can output the TV sound via the speakers connected to the receiver without connecting A or B. For details, see Enjoying the TV sound via an HDMI connection (Audio Return Channel) (page 45). Be sure to turn off the TVs volume or activate the TVs muting function.
Audio signal Audio/video signals
Be sure to turn on the receiver when the video and audio signals of a playback component are being output to a TV via the receiver. Unless the power is turned on, neither video nor audio signals will be transmitted. When connecting optical digital cords, insert the plugs straight in until they click into place. Do not bend or tie optical digital cords.

Connecting components with HDMI jacks
HDMI is the abbreviated name for HighDefinition Multimedia Interface. It is an interface which transmits video and audio signals in digital format. Sony recommends that you connect components to the receiver using an HDMI cable. By connecting Sony BRAVIA Synccompatible components using HDMI cables, operations can be simplified. See BRAVIA Sync Features (page 39).

HDMI features

A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS and Linear PCM. This receiver supports Deep Color and xvYCC transmission.
Notes on connecting cables
Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p or Deep Color images may not be displayed properly. Sony recommends that you use an HDMI authorized cable or Sony HDMI cable. We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. When you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D component, the sound and/or the image may not be output.
TV, etc. Audio/video signals
Notes on HDMI connections
An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any other audio jacks. Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. The multi/stereo area audio signals of a Super Audio CD are not output. Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if the image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable. Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency, the number of channels or the audio format of the audio output signals from the playback component is switched. When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output. In this case, check the specification of the connected component. You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection. Set the image resolution of the playback component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when you output 96 kHz multi channel sound over an HDMI connection. You may need to make certain settings on the image resolution of the player before you can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the player. Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details. Not every HDMI component supports all functions that are defined by the specified HDMI version. For example, components that support HDMI, version 1.4, may not support Audio Return Channel (ARC).

7: Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically

(AUTO CALIBRATION)

This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which allows you to perform automatic calibration as follows: Check the connection between each speaker and the receiver. Adjust the speaker level. Measure the distance of each speaker from your listening position. Measure the frequency characteristics.*
* The measurement result is not utilized for signals with a sampling frequency of more than 96 kHz.
Before you perform Auto Calibration
Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set up and connect the speakers (page 15, 18). The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack. Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone. During the calibration, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood. Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and to get a more accurate measurement. If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error. Notes

Change the TV input.

When you connect a Sony TV, the audio input of the TV is switched and the image from the TV tuner is displayed on the TV screen automatically by pressing the TV button. The sound may be output from the TVs speaker. In this case, turn the volume of the TVs speaker down to the minimum.
