About HDMI connections
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface that transmits video and audio
signals in digital format. Connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible devices using HDMI
cables simplifies operations.
HDMI features
Digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers connected to the
receiver. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS, DSD, and Linear PCM.
The receiver can receive Multi Channel Linear PCM (up to 8 channels) with a sampling
frequency of 192 kHz or less via an HDMI connection.
The receiver also supports High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TureHD)
and object-based audio formats (DTS:X and Dolby Atmos).
To enjoy 3D content, connect a 3D-compatible TV and video device (Blu-ray Disc player,
Blu-ray Disc recorder, PlayStation 4, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI Cables
with Ethernet, put on 3D glasses, and then play 3D-compatible content.
To enjoy 4K content, connect a 4K-compatible TV or video device (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.)
to the receiver using High Speed HDMI Cables with Ethernet, and then play 4K-compatible
content.
Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet that supports 18 Gbps is required for
4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc.
All HDMI jacks on the receiver support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System
Revision 2.2 (HDCP 2.2). Connect these HDMI jacks to jacks that support HDCP 2.2 on the
TV and AV device. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected device for details.
The HDMI OUT and HDMI IN jacks (except the HDMI IN VIDEO 1 jack) support bandwidth
up to 18 Gbps. The HDMI IN VIDEO 1 jack supports bandwidth up to 9 Gbps.
All HDMI jacks on the receiver support 4K, HDCP 2.2, ITU-R BT.2020 wide color spaces,
3D, Deep Color (Deep Colour), and HDR (High Dynamic Range) contents pass-through.
The HDMI OUT A (TV) jack supports Audio Return Channel (ARC).
