HDMI Input Setup

If you connect a video component to HDMI IN, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your DVD/BD player to HDMI IN1, you must assign HDMI IN1 to the DVD/BD input selector.

If you’ve connected your TV to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable, you can set the AV receiver so that composite video and component video sources are upconverted* and output by the HDMI OUT. You can set this for each input selector by selecting the “- - - - -” option.

Notes:

For composite video and component video upconversion for the HDMI OUT, the HDMI Input setting must be set to “- - - - -”. See page 24 for more information on video signal flow and upconversion.

When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained here, the digital audio input for that input selector is automatically set to the same HDMI IN. See “Digital Input Setup” on page 41.

The TUNER input selector cannot be assigned and is fixed at the “- - - - -” option.

If you connect an input component (such as UP-A1 series Dock that seated iPod) to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to PORT selector.

Do not assign the component connected with the HDMI input to the TV/TAPE selector when you set “TV Control” setting to “On” (see page 79). Otherwise, appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation is not guaranteed.

This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by using its [SETUP] button, arrow buttons, and [ENTER] button.
