Onkyo TX-NR709 instruction manual Auto Standby, Audio TV Out, Audio Return Channel, Lip Sync

■Audio TV Out

`Off

`On

This preference determines whether the incoming audio signal is output from the HDMI output. You may want to turn this preference on if your TV is connected to the HDMI output and you want to listen to the audio from a connected component through your TV’s speakers. Normally, this should be set to “Off”.

Note

•If “On” is selected and the audio can be output from the TV, the AV receiver will output no sound through its speakers. In this case, “TV Speaker” appears on the display by pressing

DISPLAY.

•When “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On”, this setting is fixed to “Auto”.

•With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be output even when this setting is set to “On”.

•When “Audio TV Out” or “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers

(➔ page 17), turning up the AV receiver’s volume control will make the sound be output from the AV receiver’s front left and right speakers. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.

•Listening mode cannot be changed when this setting is set to “On” and the input source is not HDMI.

•If the “Monitor Out” setting is set to “Both(Main)” or

“Both(Sub)” (➔ page 44) and if your TV connected to a priority output cannot output the audio, the sound will be heard from AV receiver’s speakers.

■Audio Return Channel

`Off

`Auto:

The audio signal from your TV tuner can be sent to the HDMI OUT MAIN of the AV receiver.

The audio return channel (ARC) function allows an ARC capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT MAIN of the AV receiver. To use this function, you must select the TV/CD input selector and your TV must be ARC capable.

Note

•If you set “Audio Return Channel” to “Auto”, the “Audio Selector” settings of the TV/CD input selector will be automatically switched to “ARC” (➔ page 55).

•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” for the first time.

■Lip Sync

`Off

`On

This function allows the AV receiver to automatically correct any delay between the video and the audio, based on the data from the connected monitor.

Note

•This function works only if your HDMI-compatible TV supports HDMI Lip Sync.

•If the “Monitor Out” setting is set to “HDMI Main”,

“Both(Main)” or “Both” (➔ page 44), the delay will be cor- rected in accordance with the monitor connected to HDMI OUT MAIN. On the other hand, if “HDMI Sub” or “Both(Sub)” is selected, the delay will be corrected in accordance with the mon- itor connected to HDMI OUT SUB.

After changing the settings of the “HDMI Control(RIHD)”, “HDMI Through” or “Audio Return Channel” turn off the power on all connected pieces of equipment and then turn them on again. Refer to the user’s manuals for all connected pieces of equipment.
