 Note
Depending on the connected component, the
“BRAVIA” Sync Features Control for HDMI function may not work. Refer to
the operating instructions of the component.
What is “BRAVIA” Sync?
“BRAVIA” Sync is compatible with Sony TV,
Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, AV amplifier, etc.,
that is equipped with the Control for HDMI
function.
By connecting Sony components that are
compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync with an
HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is
simplified as follows:
• One-Touch Play: When you play back a
component such as a DVD/Blu-ray disc
player, the receiver and the TV will switch to
the appropriate HDMI input automatically.
In case the receiver or/and the TV is in
standby mode, they will be turned on
automatically.
• System Audio Control: While watching TV,

“BRAVIA” Sync Features

you can select to output the sound from the
TV speaker or the speakers connected to the
receiver.
• System Power Off: When you turn off the
TV, the receiver and connected components
are also turned off simultaneously.

Control for HDMI is a mutual control function

standard used by HDMI CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-
Definition Multimedia Interface).

The Control for HDMI function

does not work in the following
cases:
• When you connect the receiver to a
component which does not correspond with
Sony Control for HDMI function.
• When you connect the receiver and
components using other than HDMI
connection.

We recommend that you connect the receiver

to products featuring “BRAVIA” Sync.
