Sony ht-ss380 User Guide

You can make various adjustments for HDMI 
settings.

x CTRL HDMI

Lets you turn the Control for HDMI function 
on or off. For details, see ““BRAVIA” Sync 
Features” (page 34).

x PASS THRU

Lets you output the HDMI signals to the TV 
even when the receiver is in standby mode.
• ON: The receiver continuously outputs 

HDMI signals from the receiver’s HDMI 
TV OUT jack. 

• AUTO: When the TV is turned on while the 

receiver is in the standby mode, the receiver 
outputs HDMI signals from the receiver’s 
HDMI TV OUT jack. Sony recommends 
this setting if you use a “BRAVIA” Sync 
compatible Sony TV. This setting saves 
power in the standby mode when compared 
with the “ON” setting.

• The power saving function may not work for some 

TVs compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync. If this 
is the case, set “PASS THRU” to “ON”.

• Depending on your equipment, it may take time 

before image or sound is output.

You can customize the settings of the receiver.

Lets you adjust the brightness of the display 
panel in 3 levels.

automatically at a specified time.

When Sleep Timer is being used, “SLEEP” 
indicator lights up on the display panel. 

To check the remaining time before the receiver 
turns off, select “SLEEP” using the AMP MENU. 
The remaining time appears on the display panel. To 
cancel the Sleep Timer, select “OFF”.

x AUTO STBY

Lets you set the receiver switch to standby 
mode automatically when you do not operate 
the receiver or when there is no signals input to 
the receiver.
• STBY ON: Switches to standby mode after 

approximately 30 minutes.

• STBY OFF: Does not switch to standby 

mode.

• This function does not work when TUNER input is 

selected.

• If you use the Auto Standby mode and the Sleep 

Timer at the same time, the Sleep Timer has 
priority.
