Frequently Asked Questions - DAVDZ7T SONY

How to activate the COMMAND HDMI function on the Sony DAV-DZ7T?

First ensure the system is connected to the TV via an HDMI cable (not supplied). Turn on the system and TV, then select the corresponding HDMI input. On the system, press DISPLAY in stop mode, select SETUP > CUSTOM > CUSTOM SETUP, then choose COMMAND HDMI and set to ON.

What is the 'BRAVIA Theatre Sync' function?

BRAVIA Theatre Sync is a Sony function that uses the HDMI CEC standard to control multiple compatible devices with a single remote. It simplifies operations such as One Touch Play (automatic TV power on and switching to DVD input) and System Audio Control (listening to TV sound through the system speakers).

How to listen to TV sound through the system speakers?

Ensure the COMMAND HDMI function is enabled and the system is connected to the TV via HDMI. When watching TV, set the source function to TV (or TV/VIDEO depending on the model). The TV sound will then be output through the system speakers. You can also adjust this setting from the TV menu.

How to connect a set-top box or satellite tuner to listen to multi-channel sound?

Connect the set-top box to the TV via an HDMI cable, then the system to the TV via another HDMI cable. Ensure COMMAND HDMI is set to ON, then enable STB SYNCHRONIZATION in the CUSTOM SETUP menu by setting to ON. Then, select the TV HDMI input corresponding to the set-top box so the system reproduces the sound.

Why does the One Touch Play function not work?

Several possible reasons: if a CD or DATA-CD is loaded instead of a DVD, the function does not activate. Also check that the COMMAND HDMI function is set to ON and the TV is compatible. If the DMPORT source is active, One Touch Play is disabled. Finally, depending on the TV, the beginning of the content may not be played.

How to disable the COMMAND HDMI function?

Follow the same procedure as for activation: press DISPLAY in stop mode, go to SETUP > CUSTOM > CUSTOM SETUP, select COMMAND HDMI and set to OFF.

What to do if the System Audio Control does not work?

Check that the system is powered on before the TV. If the TV is turned on first, there may be a delay before sound is output. Also ensure the source is set to TV and the AUDIO (HDMI) parameter is set to ON (see user manual).

Which cables are needed to use HDMI functions?

You need an HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the system to the TV. For advanced functions like STB synchronization, a second HDMI cable is required to connect the set-top box to the TV. A SCART cable can be used for other connections but does not support HDMI functions.

The COMMAND HDMI function does not activate, what to check?

Ensure the connected component (TV, set-top box) supports Sony's COMMAND HDMI function (BRAVIA Theatre Sync). Verify the HDMI cable is properly connected and the correct HDMI input is selected. Consult the user manuals of all devices. If the problem persists, try a different HDMI cable.

How to use the Auto Power Off function of the system?

The function is enabled by default when COMMAND HDMI is set to ON. When you turn off the TV with its remote, the system automatically turns off. No additional settings are required.
