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, increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection.

NOTE

To enable the ARC function,set “HDMI Control” to “ON” (vpage 55).

About Content Type

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

The Content Type feature enables a display to auto-select the correct viewing mode to match the content type it is currently receiving from a source device, and to switch modes when a new content source is selected. Content Type supports content profiles for gaming, movie, photograph, and text viewing modes.

NOTE

To enable the Content type, set “Video Mode” to “Auto” (vpage 45).

ENGLISH

Connecting an HDMI-compatible device

Simple

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

version

HDMI cable.

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

cable” or “High Speed 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.
