Sony HT-SF1300 User Manual

• Use a HDMI cable with the HDMI logo 

(made by Sony).

• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack 

is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and 
HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any 
other audio jacks.

• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can 

only be output from the HDMI OUT jack.

• When you want to listen to the sound from 

the TV speaker, set “AUDIO FOR HDMI” 
to “TV+AMP” in the VIDEO menu (page 
40). If you cannot play back multi channel 
software, set to “AMP”. However, the sound 
will not output from the TV speaker.

• The multi/stereo area audio signals of a 

Super Audio CD are not output.

• Be sure to turn on the receiver when the 

video and audio of a playback component 
are being output to a TV via the receiver. If 
the power supply of the receiver is not turned 
on, neither video nor audio is transmitted.

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit 

length, etc.) transmitted from a HDMI jack 
may be suppressed by the connected 
component. Check the setup of the 
connected component if the image is poor or 
the sound does not come out of a component 
connected via the HDMI cable.

• Sound may be interrupted when the 

sampling frequency or the number of 
channels of audio output signals from the 
playback component is switched.

• When the connected component is not 

compatible with copyright protection 
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the 
sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be 
distorted or may not be output.

 

In this case, check the specification of the 
connected component.

• You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM 

only with an HDMI connection.

• Set the resolution of the image of the 

playback component to 720p, 1080i or 
1080p when you output 96 kHz multi 
channel sound over a HDMI connection.

• We do not recommend using a HDMI-DVI 

conversion cable. When you connect a 
HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D 
component, the sound and/or the image may 
not be output.

• You may need to make certain settings on 

the image resolution of the player before you 
can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer 
to the operating instructions of the player.

• For details on HDMI setup of the connected 

component, refer to the operating 
instructions supplied with the connected 
component.
