When Using A Tv Compatible With Dolby Digital Plus Output - Sony STR-ZA5000ES Operating Instructions Manual

When using a TV compatible with Dolby Digital
Plus output
The receiver can receive Dolby Atmos signals sent from a TV
or other connected devices. Since Dolby Atmos signals from
the TV are sent in Dolby Digital Plus format, ARC (Audio
Return Channel)-compatible HDMI jacks must be connected
using an HDMI cable instead of an optical digital cable.
Normally, it would be necessary to turn on the Control for
HDMI function for both receiver and TV in order to use the
Audio Return Channel (ARC). In this case, however, the link
function between the receiver, TV and other devices is also
activated. Therefore, in order to facilitate the operation of
the controller in a custom installation (where the entire
system is controlled via the controller), this receiver is
designed to activate the ARC function separately, even if the
Control for HDMI function is turned off.
As a result, Dolby Atmos-compatible content sent from the
TV can be played back through an ARC-compatible HDMI
jack, without the need to activate the link function using the
Control for HDMI function.
Since the ARC function can still be used as before, Dolby
Atmos-compatible content can be played back in high
quality, even if the Control for HDMI function for the TV or
connected devices is turned on.
If you use a TV compatible with Dolby Digital Plus output,
perform the following settings on the receiver in order to
play back Dolby Atmos-compatible content sent from the TV.
