When the AV receiver cannot receive the name of the component, it is displayed as “Player*” or “Recorder*”, etc (“*” means the number of two or more component).

When an p-compatible component is connected to the AV receiver via the HDMI cable, the name of the connected component is displayed on the AV receiver display. For example, while you are watching TV broadcasting, if you operate a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player (being powered on) by the remote control of the AV receiver, the name of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is displayed on the AV receiver.

Set to “Off” when a connected piece of equipment is not compatible or it is unclear whether the equipment is compatible or not.

If movement is unnatural when set to “On”, change the setting to “Off”.

Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

This preference determines whether the incoming audio signal is output from the HDMI output. You may want to turn this preference on if your TV is connected to the HDMI output and you want to listen to the audio from a connected component through your TV’s speakers. Normally, this should be set to “Off”.

Note

Listening mode cannot be changed when this setting is set to “On” and the input source is not HDMI.
