Connecting components with HDMI jacks  
We recommend that you connect components to  
the system using an HDMI cable.  
in order to listen to the TV’s sound from the  
system.  
With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high  
quality sound and high quality images.  
For details on the Control for HDMI function,  
Connect the AC power cord (mains lead) after  
you have finished connecting all components to  
the system.  
However, it is necessary to connect the audio  
output of the TV to the audio input of the  
system using an optical cable or an audio cord  
TV monitor, projector, etc.

Notes  
• Refer to page 12 for how to connect a component  
without an HDMI jack.  
• The HDMI jack has priority when you connect the  
component to the system using HDMI, INPUT  
COAX and INPUT OPT together.  
• The INPUT OPT jack has priority when you connect  
both the audio output of the TV to the INPUT OPT  
and AUDIO jack of the system.  
Notes on HDMI connections  
• You can enjoy high quality images using an  
HDMI cable with an HDMI logo. We  
recommend that you use a Sony HDMI cable.  
• Check the setup of the connected component if  
an image is poor or the sound does not come  
out of a component connected via the HDMI  
cable.  
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length,  
etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be  
suppressed by the connected component.  
• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling  
frequency or the number of channels of 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 TV OUT jack may be  
distorted or may not be output.  
In this case, check the specification of the  
connected component.  
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI  
conversion cable.  
• No matter what input is selected for the system,  
video signals from the HDMI input jack (BD,  
DVD, SAT) that was selected last time are  
output from the HDMI TV OUT jack.

Connecting components without HDMI jacks  
When you connect a DVD player (recorder),  
satellite tuner, “PlayStation 2”, etc., that has no  
HDMI jacks, connect to the system using the  
INPUT OPT or INPUT COAX jack.  
If the satellite tuner does not have the OPTICAL  
OUT jack, connect the system using the INPUT  
COAX jack. In this case, it is not necessary to  
connect all the cables. Connect the audio cords  
according to the jacks of your components.  
Connect the AC power cord (mains lead) last.

the Control for HDMI function of the TV.  
By connecting Sony components that are  
compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync with an  
HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is  
simplified as below:  
• One-Touch Play: When you play back a  
component such as a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player  
(recorder), the system and the TV are turned on  
automatically and switch to the appropriate  
HDMI input.  
• System Audio Control: While watching TV,  
you can select to output the sound from the TV  
speaker or the speakers of the system.  
• System Power Off: When you turn off the TV,  
the system and the connected components are  
also turned off simultaneously.

Dolby Digital  
This movie theater sound format is more  
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this  
format, the surround speakers output stereo  
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a  
subwoofer channel for deep bass is  
independently provided. This format is also  
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel  
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions  
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six  
channels in this format are recorded separately  
for superior channel separation. Furthermore,  
since all the signals are processed digitally, less  
signal degradation occurs.  
Design and specifications are subject to change without

• Standby power consumption 0.3 W.  
• Halogenated flame retardants are not  
used in the printed wiring boards.  
• Over 85 % power efficiency of  
amplifier block is achieved with the full  
digital amplifier, S-Master.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth  
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is  
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix  
surround decoder that extracts the spatial  
properties of the original recording without  
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.  
DTS  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This  
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround.  
This format comprises of stereo rear channel and  
there is discrete subwoofer channel in this  
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete  
channels of high quality digital audio. The good  
channel separation is realized due to the all  
channel data being recorded discretely and  
processed in digitally.

S-Force PRO Front Surround  
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround  
technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic  
data accumulated as a result) has led to the  
development of all-new processing method and  
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively,  
which we call S-Force PRO Front Surround.

and space, resulting in a true surround sound  
experience without the need for rear speakers.  
S-Master  
S-Master is an all-digital amplifier technology  
developed by Sony, which effectively minimizes  
the occurrence of sound fragmentation and jitter,  
delivering superb dialog clarity and faithful  
reproduction of the original sound. The compact  
amplifier section supports a higher power  
efficiency and improved thermal performance.
