Notes on connecting cables
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
It is not necessary to connect all of the cables. Connect cables according to the availability
of jacks on the connected device.
Sony recommends that you use an HDMI authorized cable or HDMI cable made by Sony.
Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. 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. For details about the high bandwidth video format, refer to “Supported video
formats” in the supplied Operating Instructions.
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate
audio cables or digital connecting cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not
output correctly.
When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.
Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.
When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0
10 bit, be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “Setting HDMI signal formats
(HDMI Signal Format).”
Hint
All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling
frequencies.
If you want to connect several digital devices, but cannot find an unused input
In this case, reassign the input jacks.

About HDMI connections
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface that transmits video and audio
signals in digital format. Connecting devices made by Sony that are “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible
makes operations simpler.
HDMI features
Digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the SPEAKERS terminals and
the PRE OUT jacks on this receiver. This signal supports Dolby Audio, 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.
