You can make the required settings for 
equipment connected to the HDMI jack.

x CTRL.HDMI

Lets you turn the Control for HDMI function 
on or off. For details, see ““BRAVIA” Sync 
Features” (page 47).

x PASS.THRU

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

 

When the receiver is in the standby mode, 
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.

• OFF

 

The receiver does not output HDMI signals 
when in the standby mode. Turn on the 
receiver to enjoy the connected equipment’s 
source on the TV. This setting saves power in 
the standby mode when compared with the 
“ON” setting.

• This parameter is not available when 

“CTRL.HDMI” is set to “CTRL OFF”.

• When “AUTO” is selected, it may take a little more  

time for the image and sound to be output to the TV 
than when “ON” is selected.

• When the receiver is in standby mode, 

“A.STANDBY” appears on the display if 
“PASS.THRU” is set to “AUTO” or “ON”. 
However, “A.STANDBY” will disappear when 
“PASS.THRU” is set to “AUTO” and no signals are 
detected. 

x AUDIO.OUT

Lets you set the HDMI audio output from the 
playback equipment connected to the receiver 
via an HDMI connection.
• AMP

 

The HDMI audio signals from the playback 
equipment are only output to the speakers 
connected to the receiver. Multi channel 
sound can be played back as it is.

• TV+AMP

 

The sound is output from TV’s speaker and 
the speakers connected to the receiver.

• The sound quality of the playback equipment 

depends on the TV’s sound quality, such as the 
number of channels, and the sampling frequency, 
etc. If the TV has stereo speakers, the sound 
output from the receiver is also in stereo as that 
of the TV, even if you play back multi channel 
source.

• When you connect the receiver to an image 

display equipment (projector, etc.), sound may 
not be output from the receiver. In this case, 
select “AMP”.

x H. ASSIGN 

Lets you reassign the HDMI input jack to other 
input source. For details, see “Using the 
sound/images from other inputs” (page 51). 

You can customize the settings of the receiver.

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.
