BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™
 
As a leader in products with HDMI™  connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA® Theatre 
Sync™  to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When combined with a select number of BRAVIA® LCD 
televisions and other Sony audio and video products, control functions will be transmitted via the HDMI cable . 
With “ One Touch Play” , operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the 
remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on, then the BRAVIA® television will turn on and switch 
to the correct video input. Simple...Easy...BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ .
DIGITAL MEDIA PORT
 
As the demand for digital content continues to be strong, here's the challenge: how do you 
integrate music in various forms into a home theater system? The answer: Sony’s DIGITAL MEDIA PORT (DMP). 
Together with one of the DMP accessories (sold separately), this proprietary interface adds networking and 
connectivity to the options of home theater systems and components, connects with various devices, which provide 
the ability to control and power devices while making set up easy and operation simple. The DMP accessories (sold 
separately) will include a PC Client device, Bluetooth® receiver and Audio Docking Stations compatible with 
select Network Walkman™  and iPod® products. So regardless of how you store your music, Sony’s DIGITAL MEDIA 
PORT offers an access point to integrate your portable music into a traditional home theater system.
HDMI™  Output with 720P/1080i upscaling of DVD Media
