volume of the newscaster can be adjusted to be louder to make it easier to hear, and the voice volume can be
adjusted to be quieter for live sports broadcasts or other situations where the commentary or play-by-play
commentary is too loud.
[Night mode]

Operating the Speaker System by Interlocking with a TV (Control for HDMI Function)
Speaker system controls such as power on/off or volume adjustment can be interlocked with a TV’s controls by using an
HDMI cable to connect the speaker system with a TV that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function.
About the Control for HDMI function
The Control for HDMI function is a function that interlocks devices that are connected using an HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface) cable so that these devices can be operated together.
Although this function is supported by devices that are compatible with the Control for HDMI function, it may not work if
devices other than those manufactured by Sony are connected.
Preparing to operate the speaker system by interlocking it with a TV
Enable the Control for HDMI function settings on the TV that is connected to the speaker system using an HDMI cable.
The Control for HDMI function setting on the speaker system is enabled by default.
Note
The TV needs to be compatible with the Control for HDMI function. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the TV.
Check the speaker settings on the TV. The speaker system power becomes synced with the speaker settings on the TV. For
details, refer to the operating instructions of the TV.
Depending on the TV, if sound was previously output from the speakers on the TV, the speaker system may not turn on through
interlocking with the TV power controls even when the TV is turned on.
Hint
If a device such as a Blu-ray Disc player is connected to a TV using an HDMI cable, enable the Control for HDMI function on the
device.
To enable the Control for HDMI function on a TV or Blu-ray Disc player, refer to its operating instructions.
If the Control for HDMI (“BRAVIA Sync”) function is enabled on a TV manufactured by Sony, the Control for HDMI function on the
speaker system is also automatically enabled.
The Control for HDMI function setting on the speaker system can be changed by accessing [Settings] - [HDMI Settings] - [Control
for HDMI] on the remote control screen on the app.
Performing power operation or volume adjustment by a TV remote control
When the TV is turned on/off or the volume is adjusted with the TV remote control, the speaker system power operation
or volume adjustment is interlocked.

TV
TV remote control
Power interlocking
When the TV is turned on, the speaker system turns on automatically. When the TV is turned off, the speaker system

Note
If the speaker system is turned off before the TV is turned off, the speaker system may not turn on automatically even when the
TV is turned on next. If this occurs, perform the following operation.
Select the speaker system as the sound output device in the TV menu.
If a Sony TV is being used, turn on the speaker system while the TV is turned on.
Volume adjustment
The sound of the TV that you are watching is output from the speaker system automatically. The speaker system volume
can be adjusted with the TV remote control.
One-touch play function
The speaker system and TV automatically turn on when content is played on a Blu-ray Disc player connected to the TV
or when an operation such as the pressing of the PS button on a PlayStation®5 controller is performed.

On BLUETOOTH communications
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables communication between digital
devices, such as smartphones and computers. The maximum communication range may vary depending on the
presence of obstacles (people, metal objects, walls, etc.) or the electromagnetic environment.
Microwaves that are generated by a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices.
Turn off the speaker system and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident:
In hospitals, near priority seating on trains, locations where inflammable gas is present, near automatic doors, or
near fire alarms.
The speaker system supports security functions that comply with the BLUETOOTH security standard during
communication using BLUETOOTH wireless technology. However, depending on the configured settings and other
factors, this security may be insufficient. Be careful when using BLUETOOTH communication.
Sony shall assume no responsibility for any damages or loss resulting from data leaks that may occur when using
BLUETOOTH communications.
