Sony HT-G700 Operating Instructions - Page 32

eARC/ARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel/Audio Return Channel) If the system is connected to a TV's HDMI IN jack compatible with eARC or ARC, you can listen to TV sound from the speakers of the system without connecting an optical digital cable. On the system, set [HDMI] - [EARC] to [ON] (page 36). The default setting is [ON]. Notes • Enable the eARC or ARC function of the TV. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the TV. • If the TV is not compatible with eARC or ARC, an optical digital cable (not supplied) needs to be connected (refer to the supplied Startup Guide). HDMI Standby Through Power Saving Setting HDMI Standby Through is a function that allows you to enjoy the sound and picture of a connected device without turning on the system. You can reduce system standby power consumption by setting [HDMI] [STANDBY THROUGH] to [AUTO] (page 36). The default setting is [AUTO]. Note If the picture of a device connected to the system is not displayed on the TV, set [HDMI] - [STANDBY THROUGH] to [ON]. If you connect a TV other than those manufactured by Sony, we recommend you to select this setting. One-Touch Play Function When you play content on a device (Bluray Disc player, "PlayStation®4," etc.) connected to the system, the system and TV are turned on automatically, the input of the system is switched to the HDMI input, and sound is output from the speakers of the system. Notes • If [HDMI] - [STANDBY THROUGH] is set to [ON] or [AUTO] and the TV sound was output from the speakers of the TV the previous time you watched the TV, the system may not turn on and the sound and picture may be output from the TV even if device content is played (page 36). • Depending on the TV, the beginning part of content being played may not play correctly. 32US
