Connecting a TV compatible with the Control for
HDMI function using an HDMI cable enables you
to interlock the speaker system operation such as
power on/off or volume adjustment with a TV.
About the Control for HDMI function
The Control for HDMI function is a function that
enables operation of devices connected with an
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable
by interlocking them.
Although this function works for devices
compatible with the Control for HDMI function, it
may not work if connecting devices other than
those manufactured by Sony.
Preparing to Operate by Interlocking
with a TV
Enable the Control for HDMI function settings of
the TV connected to the speaker system with an
HDMI cable.
The default setting of the Control for HDMI
function of the speaker system is [ON].
Tips
• When connecting a device such as a Blu-ray Disc player to a
TV with an HDMI cable, enable its Control for HDMI function.
• To enable the Control for HDMI function of a TV or Blu-ray
Disc player, refer to their operating instructions.
• If you enable the Control for HDMI (“BRAVIA” sync) function
when using a TV manufactured by Sony, the Control for
HDMI function of the speaker system is also enabled
automatically. When the setting is complete, [DONE]
appears in the front panel display.

On BLUETOOTH Communication
• BLUETOOTH devices should be used within
approximately 10 meters (33 feet) (unobstructed
distance) of each other. The effective
communication range may become shorter
under the following conditions.
— When a person, metal object, wall or other
obstruction is between the devices with a
BLUETOOTH connection
— Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
— Around microwave ovens that are in use
— Locations where other electromagnetic waves
occur
• BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE
802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency band (2.4
GHz). When using your BLUETOOTH device near
a device with wireless LAN capability,
electromagnetic interference may occur. This
could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or
inability to connect. If this happens, try the
following remedies:
— Use this speaker system at least 10 meters (33
feet) away from the wireless LAN device.
— Turn off the power to the wireless LAN device
when using your BLUETOOTH device within 10
meters (33 feet).
— Install this speaker system and BLUETOOTH
device as closer to each other as possible.
• The radio waves broadcast by this speaker
system may interfere with the operation of some
medical devices. Since this interference may
result in malfunction, always turn off the power
on this speaker system and BLUETOOTH device
in the following locations:
— In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas
stations, and any place where flammable
gasses may be present
— Near automatic doors or fire alarms
• This speaker system supports security functions
that comply with the BLUETOOTH specification
to ensure secure connection during
communication using BLUETOOTH technology.
However, this security may be insufficient
depending on the setting contents and other
factors, so always be careful when performing
communication using BLUETOOTH technology.
• Sony cannot be held liable in any way for
damages or other loss resulting from
information leaks during communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
• BLUETOOTH communication is not necessarily
guaranteed with all BLUETOOTH devices that
have the same profile as this speaker system.
• BLUETOOTH devices connected with this speaker
system must comply with the BLUETOOTH
specification prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG,
Inc., and must be certified to comply. However,
even when a device complies with the
BLUETOOTH specification, there may be cases
where the characteristics or specifications of the
BLUETOOTH device make it impossible to
connect, or may result in different control
methods, display or operation.
• Noise may occur or the audio may cut off
depending on the BLUETOOTH device
connected with this speaker system, the
communications environment, or surrounding
conditions.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your speaker system, please consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
