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 cable made by Sony or another HDMI-authorized cable. 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 "About HDMI connections." 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. 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. [41] Preparation 4.

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 cable made by Sony or another HDMI-authorized cable. 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 “
About HDMI connections.”
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.
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 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,
