Connecting Other Sources

Connecting equipment with HDMI terminals

•A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (High- Definition Multimedia Interface) terminal allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD-Video and other sources, and the multi-channel sound of DVD-Audio and DVD-Video.

•To provide audio output from AVR-887’s audio output terminal, select “Amp” at the “HDMI In Assign”.

To provide audio output from the TV, select “TV” at the “HDMI In Assign” ( page 53).

NOTE:

•The audio signals on the multi/stereo area of Super Audio CDs are not output. If the Super Audio CD is a hybrid CD, only the audio signals in the CD area are output.

•Use a compatible player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright protected by CPPM.

•Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI terminal; however, the AVR-887 cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI terminal.

•The audio signals from the HDMI terminal (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the equipment that is connected.

•The video signals are not output properly if a device not compatible with HDCP is used.

•Use an HDMI monitor compatible with an HDMI input resolution of 480i or 576i.

•The video signals input from the HDMI input terminals are output to the HDMI monitor with their original resolution, so the image will not be displayed if the resolutions of the input signal and the monitor being used are not matched. In this case, change the setting of the resolution on the source device (player) to one which the monitor can handle.

•Use a cable including the HDMI logo (HDMI certified product) for connection of the HDMI terminal. Normal playback may not be possible if a cable that does not include the HDMI logo (non-HDMI- certified product) is used.

The AVR-887 is HDMI Ver. 1.1 compatible.

¢Copyright Protection System

To play back the digital video and audio of DVD- Video and DVD-Audio through an HDMI/DVI-D connection, both the connected player and monitor are required to support a copyright protection system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the partner equipment.

The AVR-887 supports HDCP. Please see the user’s manual of your video display for more information about this.

•The HDMI video stream signals (video signals) are theoretically compatible with DVI-D. When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with DVI-D terminals, it is possible to connect using an HDMI/DVI-D conversion cable, but depending on the combination of devices used the image might not be output.

•When using an HDMI/DVI-D conversion adapter, the image may not be output properly due to poor contact with the connected cable, etc.

•If your digital monitor or DVD player only supports DVI-D, please obtain and use an HDMI-DVI conversion cable or adaptor, available from your dealer.
