Note

•When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.

•When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ 49) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. When the “TV Control” setting is set to “On” (➔ 50) to hear from speakers of p-compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound while the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.
