Using the Control for HDMI function

By using the Control for HDMI function, and connecting equipment 
that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function via a High 
Speed HDMI cable, operation is simplified with the features below.
The Control for HDMI function is enabled by setting “CTRL (Control 
for HDMI)” to “ON” (page 13). The default setting is “ON.”

When you turn off the TV, the system and the connected equipment 
will turn off automatically.

If you turn on the system while you are watching the TV, the TV 
sound will be output from the speakers of the system automatically. 
The volume of the system will be adjusted when you adjust the 
volume using the TV’s remote control.
If the TV sound was output from the speakers of the system the last 
time you watched the TV, the system will be turned on automatically 
when you turn on the TV again.

If the TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) 
technology, a High Speed HDMI cable connection will also allow 
sending digital audio signals from the TV to the system. You do not 
need to make a separate audio connection for listening to TV sound 
from the system.
The ARC function is enabled by setting “ARC (Audio return channel)” 
to “ON” (page 13). The default setting is “ON.”

When you activate the equipment (Blu-ray Disc™ player, 
“PlayStation

®

4,” etc.) connected to the system with a High Speed 

HDMI cable, the connected TV is turned on automatically and the 
input signal of the system is switched to the appropriate HDMI input.
