You can connect a high-quality home theater receiver or other surround sound
decoder devices between your VAIO computer and a TV using an HDMI connection.

1. Make sure the HDMI connection has been set up between the TV and the home

theater receiver or surround sound decoder device.

2. Change the device for sound output to the HDMI output. (See

Changing the

Sound Output Device

for more information.)

3. Turn on the TV and set its input to the HDMI input.

4. Turn on the home theater receiver or surround sound decoder device and set its

input to the HDMI input.

5. Plug one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI input port on the home theater

receiver or surround sound decoder device and the other end to the HDMI
output port on your VAIO computer.

Hint

You can adjust the screen resolution of the connected TV with your VAIO
computer. See

Changing the Resolution (Size) of the Screen Image on an

HDMI-Connected Device

for more information.

With the HDMI connection, the volume can be adjusted by the connected audio
device only. Your VAIO computer has no control over the output volume of any
connected devices.
