Using HDMI connections
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface that transmits video and audio signals in digital format. Connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible devices using HDMI cables simplifies operations. See “Interlocking other devices using an HDMI connection (“BRAVIA” Sync).”
HDMI features
- Digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS, DSD, and Linear PCM. For details, see “Digital audio formats supported by the receiver.”
- The receiver can receive Multi Channel Linear PCM (up to 8 channels) with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz or less via an HDMI connection.
- Analog video signals input to the receiver’s VIDEO jack or COMPONENT VIDEO jacks can be output as HDMI signals (for STR-DN1050 only). Audio signals are not output from the HDMI OUT jack(s) while the image is being converted.
