HDMI is the abbreviated name for High-
Definition 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.
With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high
quality sound and high quality images.
However, it is necessary to connect
the audio output of the TV to the
audio input of the receiver using an
optical cord to listen to the TV multi
channel surround sound
broadcasting from the receiver.
By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync
compatible components using HDMI cables,
““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes
operations simpler (page 45).
