Lets you turn the Pro Logic II decoding mode
on or off.
• AUTO
Applies the Pro Logic II decoding mode
automatically when receiving the Dolby
Surround encoded signals.
• ON
Applies the Pro Logic II decoding mode
when receiving 2 channels signals.
• OFF
Pro Logic II decoding mode is turned off.
Note
This function works only in the following cases.
– “MOVIE A” is selected.
– Surround speaker position is set to “REAR”.
You can make the required settings for
equipment connected to the HDMI jack.
x CTRL.HDMI
Lets you turn the Control for HDMI function
on or off. For details, see ““BRAVIA” Sync
Features” (page 42).
x PASS.THRU
Lets you output the HDMI signals to the TV
even when the receiver is in standby mode.
• ON
When the receiver is in the standby mode,
the receiver continuously outputs HDMI
signals from the receiver’s HDMI TV OUT
jack.
• AUTO
When the TV is turned on while the receiver
is in the standby mode, the receiver outputs
HDMI signals from the receiver’s HDMI TV
OUT jack. Sony recommends this setting if
you use a “BRAVIA” Sync compatible Sony
TV. This setting saves power in the standby
mode when compared with the “ON”
setting.
• OFF
The receiver does not output HDMI signals
when in the standby mode. Turn on the
receiver to enjoy the connected equipment’s
source on the TV. This setting saves power in
the standby mode when compared with the
“ON” setting.
Notes
• This parameter is not available when
“CTRL.HDMI” is set to “CTRL OFF”.
• When “AUTO” is selected, it may take a little more
time for the image and sound to be output to the TV
than when “ON” is selected.
• When the receiver is in standby mode,
“A.STANDBY” appears on the display if
“PASS.THRU” is set to “AUTO” or “ON”.
However, “A.STANDBY” will disappear when
“PASS.THRU” is set to “AUTO” and no signals are
detected.
x AUDIO.OUT
Lets you set the HDMI audio output from the
playback equipment connected to the receiver
via an HDMI connection.
• AMP
The HDMI audio signals from the playback
equipment are only output to the speakers
connected to the receiver. Multi channel
sound can be played back as it is.
• TV+AMP
The sound is output from TV’s speaker and
the speakers connected to the receiver.
Notes
• The sound quality of the playback equipment
depends on the TV’s sound quality, such as the
number of channels, and the sampling frequency,
etc. If the TV has stereo speakers, the sound
output from the receiver is also in stereo as that
of the TV, even if you play back multi channel
source.
• When you connect the receiver to an image
display equipment (projector, etc.), sound may
not be output from the receiver. In this case,
select “AMP”.
