With HDMI, the video and audio signals are transferred simultaneously. If you want to play the video signal assigned at “HDMI” together with the audio signal assigned at “Digital In”, set “Input Mode” on the menu to “DIGITAL”.

When the AVR-988 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.

The audio signals input from the analog, digital and EXT. IN connectors are not output to the monitor.
