Notes on connecting cables
• We recommend that you use a Sony HOMI
cable.
• We recommend that you use an HOMI cable
with the HOMI logo (made by Sony) for the
HOMI jack corresponding to high speed (an
HOMI version 1.3a, category 2 cable) when
you view images or listen to sound during a
OeepColor transmission or when you watch
a video image of IOSOp or higher.
• We do not recommend using an HOMI-OVI
conversion cable. When you conncct an
HOMI-OVI conversion cable
to
a OVI-O
component, the sound and/or the image may
not be output. Connect other audio cords or
digital connecting cords, then set "Input
Assign" in the Input Option menu when the
sound is not output correctly.
• Before connecting cables, make sure to
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
Notes on HOMI connections
• 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
HOMI cable.
• An audio signal input to the HOMIIN jack
is output from the speaker output jacks,
HOMI OUT jack and PRE OUT jacks. It is
not output from any other audio jacks.
• A video signal input to the HOMIIN jack
can only be output from the HOMI OUT
jack. The video input cannot be output from
the VIDEO OUT jacks, S VIDEO OUT
jacks or MONITOR VIOEO OUT jacks.
• The audio and video signals of HOMI input
are not output from the HOMI OUT jack
while the receiver menu is displayed.
• When you want to listen to the sound from
the TV speaker, set "HOM I Audio" to
"TV+AMP" in the HOMI settings menu. If
set to "AMP," the sound is not output from
the TV speaker.
• Be sure to turn on the receiver when video
and audio signals of a playback component
are being output to a TV through this
30
GB
receiver. Unless the power is on, neither
vidco nor audio signals will bc transmitted.
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit
length, etc.) transmitted from an HOMI jack
may be suppressed by the connected
component. Check the setup of the
connected component i I' an image is poor or
the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HOMI cable.
• Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency, the number or channels
or audio rormat or audio output signals from
the playback component is switched.
• When the connected component is not
compatible with copylight protection
technology (HOCP), the image and/or the
sound from the HOMI OUT jack may be
distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the
connected component.
• Refcr to the operating instructions of each
component connected for details.
• You can enjoy High Bitrate Audio (OTS-HD
Master Audio, Oolby TrueHO), OSO, multi-
channel Linear PCM only with an HOMI
connection.
• Set the image resolution of the player to
more than nOp/l 080i to enjoy High Bitrate
Audio (OTS-HO Master Audio, Oolby
TrueHO).
• The image resolution of player may need
certai n setti ngs be made before you can
enjoy OSO and multi-channel Linear PCM.
Refer to the operating instructions of the
player.
• Not every HOMI component supports all
functions that are delined by the specified
HOMI version. For example, components
that support HOMI, vcr. 1.3a, may not
support OeepColor.
