About ARC (Audio return channel) function

The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data “upstream” to this unit.

NOTE

To enable the ARC function,set “HDMI Control” to “ON” (vpage 57).

When connecting a TV that does not support the ARC function, a separate connection using an audio cable is required. In this case, refer to “Connecting a TV” (vpage 16) for the connection method.

About Content Type

The HDMI Specification Version 1.4 enables simple, automated picture setting selection with no user intervention.

NOTE

To enable the Content type, set “Video Mode” to “Auto” (vpage 47).

ENGLISH

Connecting an HDMI-compatible device

Simple

• When this unit is connected to other devices with HDMI cables, connect this unit and TV also with an

version

HDMI cable.

• When connecting a device that supports Deep Color transmission, please use a “High Speed HDMI

cable” or “High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet”.

 

• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this case,

 

switch the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.

 

 

• When this unit and monitor are connected with an HDMI cable, if the monitor is not compatible with

 

HDMI audio signal playback, only the video signals are output to the monitor.

Basic

NOTE

The audio signal from the HDMI output connector (sampling frequency, number of channels, etc.) may be

version

limited by the HDMI audio specifications of the connected device regarding permissible inputs.

 

Connecting to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector

 

When an HDMI/DVI conversion cable (sold separately) is used, the HDMI video signals are converted to

 

 

DVI signals, allowing connection to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector.

 

NOTE

 

• No sound is output when connected to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector. Make separate audio

 

connections.

Advanced

• Signals cannot be output to DVI-D devices that do not support HDCP.

 

• Depending on the combination of devices, the video signals may not be output.

 

Set as necessary. For details, see the respective reference pages.
