Note

•When set to “On” and close the menu, the name of connected p-compatible components and “RIHD On” are dis-

played on the AV receiver.

•When an p-compatible component is connected to the AV receiver via the HDMI cable, the name of the connected component is displayed on the AV receiver display. For example, while you are watching TV broadcasting, if you operate a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player (being powered on) by the remote control of the AV receiver, the name of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is displayed on the AV receiver.

•Set to “Off” when a connected piece of equipment is not com- patible or it is unclear whether the equipment is compatible or not.

•If movement is unnatural when set to “On”, change the setting to “Off”.

•Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

•When the source equipment is connected with the uconnec- tion, it may malfunction if “HDMI Control (RIHD)” is set to “On”.

■Audio Return Channel

`Off:

Select “Off” if you don’t want to use audio return channel (ARC) function.

Note

•The “Audio Return Channel” setting can be set only when the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting is set to “On”.

•This setting is set to “Auto” automatically when the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” is set to “On” first time.

■Power Control

Note

•The “Power Control” setting can be set only when the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting is set to “On”.

•HDMI power control only works with p-compatible components that support it and may not work properly with some components due to their settings or compatibility.

•When set to “On”, power consumption will increase.

•When set to “On”, regardless of whether the AV receiver is On or in Standby, both audio and video stream from an HDMI input will be output to the TV or other components via HDMI connec- tion (HDMI pass through function). When the HDMI pass through function activates in standby mode, HDMI THRU indi- cator will light.

•The power consumption during standby mode will increase dur- ing the HDMI pass through function; however if your TV sup- ports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), the power consumption can be saved in the following cases:

1.The TV is in standby mode.

2.You are watching a TV program.

•Set to “Off” when the TV is not compatible or when it is unclear whether the TV is compatible or not.

•The “TV Control” setting can be set only when the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” (➔ 55) and “Power Control” (➔ 56) set- tings are both set to “On”.
