Notes On Connecting Cables - Sony STR-DN2010 Operating Instructions Manual

Notes on connecting cables

• Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a
Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Color
(Deep Colour) or 3D images may not be
displayed properly.
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable. When you connect an
HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D
component, the sound and/or the image may
not be output. Connect other audio cords or
digital connecting cords, then set "Input
Assign" in the Input Option menu when the
sound is not output correctly.
• Before connecting cables, make sure to
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
Notes on HDMI connections
• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack
is output from the SPEAKERS terminals,
HDMI TV OUT jack and PHONES jack. It
is not output from any other audio jacks.
• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can
only be output from the HDMI TV OUT
jack. The video input signals cannot be
output from the VIDEO OUT jacks or
MONITOR OUT jacks.
• The audio and video signals of HDMI input
are not output from the HDMI TV OUT jack
while the GUI menu is displayed.
• When you want to listen to the sound from
the TV speaker, set "Audio Out" to
"TV+AMP" in the HDMI Settings menu
(page 117). If you cannot play back multi
channel audio source, set to "AMP".
However, the sound will not output from the
TV speaker.
• DSD signals of Super Audio CD are not
input and output.
• Be sure to turn on the receiver when the
video and audio signals of a playback
component are being output to a TV via the
receiver. If you set "Pass Through" to
"OFF", video and audio signals will not be
transmitted when the power is turned off.
• Audio signals (format, sampling frequency,
bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI
jack may be suppressed by the connected
component. Check the setup of the
connected component if the image is poor or
the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HDMI cable.
• Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency, the number of channels
or audio format of audio output signals from
the playback component is switched.
• When the connected component is not
compatible with copyright protection
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the
sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be
distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the
connected component.
• You can enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD
Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), multi
channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI
connection.
• Set the image resolution of the playback
component to more than 720p/1080i to
enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master
Audio, Dolby TrueHD).
• The image resolution of playback
component may need certain settings be
made before you can enjoy multi channel
Linear PCM. Refer to the operating
instructions of the playback component.
• To enjoy 3D images, connect 3D-compatible
TV and video components (Blu-ray Disc
player, Blu-ray Disc recorder, "PlayStation
3", etc.) to the receiver using High Speed
HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then
play back a 3D-compatible content.
• Depending on the TV or the video
component, 3D images may not be
displayed. Check the 3D image formats
supported by the receiver (page 146).
• Not every HDMI component supports all
functions that are defined by the specified
HDMI version. For example, components
that support HDMI, version 1.4, may not
support Audio Return Channel (ARC).
• Refer to the operating instructions of each
connected component for details.
