HDMI connection

IMPORTANT:
The HDMI video signals from the HDMI terminal are transmitted only through the HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal.
Therefore, if the TV is connected to the receiver through the VIDEO jack (MONITOR OUT), S-VIDEO jack (MONITOR OUT), or
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks (MONITOR OUT) and a playing video component is connected to the receiver through the HDMI terminal
(VCR (DBS) IN or DVR/DVD IN), you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.

Converting video signals into HDMI signals

This receiver can convert composite video, S-video, and component video signals into HDMI signals. To use this function, you need
to make the following procedure beforehand:
1Connect your TV and this receiver with the HDMI cable.
2Set the “VIDEO OUTPUT” (see page 26) setting to “VIDEO <HDMI>.”
3Set the “VIDEO INPUT” (see page 17) setting according to the connection method for each video component.
NOTES
When playing back audio and video with the HDMI connection, the HDMI lamp on the front panel lights up.
Set the “AUDIO INPUT” setting to “HDMI” when you enjoy sound with the HDMI connection. See “Selecting the audio input setting” on
pages 16 and 17.
With input video signals converted into HDMI signals, the playback picture may be distorted when you change the playback mode
(fast-forward, rewind, or pause, for example).
When connecting a VCR or DBS to HDMI VCR (DBS) IN terminal, select “HDMI SELECT” (see page 26) correctly according to the
component you connect. If you do not, you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.
By using a HDMI-DVI conversion cable, you can connect the source components or the TV with DVI output. When connecting those
components or TV, change the “AUDIO INPUT” setting to other than “HDMI.” (See pages 16 and 17.)
This receiver is compatible with standard video formats. If non-standard video formats are coming in, the picture may not appear
properly on TV.
The picture on the TV may not be the same aspect ratio as the ratio set on the source components.
With the “AUDIO INPUT” set to “HDMI” (see pages 16 and 17), the sound may be transmitted to the speakers of the TV as well. To use
the speakers connected to the receiver only, set the TV volume to “0.
When enjoying multi channel PCM sound with the “AUDIO INPUT” set to “HDMI” (see pages 16 and 17), some functions are not
available. See page 11 for details.
