Connect the compatible equipment and the TV  
with an HDMI cable. When connecting an  
audio system, be sure to also connect the  
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack of  
the TV and the audio system using an optical  
audio cable (page 22).  
For example, by connecting Sony equipment  
that is compatible with Control for HDMI  
(with HDMI cables), you can control them  
together.  
Be sure to connect the equipment correctly,  
and make the necessary settings.  
To make the Control for HDMI settings  
The Control for HDMI settings must be set on  
both the TV side and connected equipment  
side. See “HDMI Set-up” (page 40) for the TV  
side settings. For settings on the connected  
equipment, refer to the operating instructions  
for that equipment.

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more.  
Please see overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.  
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the process of digital TV switchover  
in the UK. Digital UK provides impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for the  
move to digital, and when they need to do it.  
How the switchover affects your TV equipment:  
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by  
simply plugging it into your aerial socket (check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now,  
or whether you'll have to wait until switchover, at www.digitaluk.co.uk).  
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need  
to re-tune your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick up  
new ones. Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover, will advise you when you need  
to re-tune during the switchover.
