Advanced Setup—Continued

■x.v.Color

If your HDMI source and HDMI-compatible TV both support the “x.v.Color”, you can enable “x.v.Color” on the AV receiver with this setting.

Disable: “x.v.Color” disabled (default).

Enable: “x.v.Color” enabled.

Notes:

•If the color is unnatural when “x.v.Color” is set to “Enable”, change the setting to “Disable”.

■HDMI Control (RIHD)

This function allows -compatible components connected via HDMI to be controlled with the AV receiver.

Off: disabled (default).

On: enabled.

Notes:

• , which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, operation with

components other than -compatible compo- nents cannot be guaranteed.

When set to “On” and close the menu, the name of

connected -compatible components and “RIHD On” are displayed on the AV receiver. “Search…” → “(name)” → “RIHD On”

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 set to “Off” and close the menu, “RIHD Off” are displayed on the AV receiver.

“Disconnect” → “RIHD Off”

•When an -compatible component is con- nected 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 DVD/BD player (being powered on) by the remote control of the AV receiver, the name of the DVD/BD player is dis- played 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 man- ual for details.

Power Control

To link the power functions of -compatible components connected via HDMI, select “On”.

This setting is set to “On” automatically when the above “HDMI Control (RIHD)” is set to “On” first time.

Off: Power Control disabled.

On: Power Control enabled.

Notes:

•The “Power Control” setting can be set only when the above “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting is set to “On”.

•HDMI power control only works with -com- patible components that support it and may not work properly with some components due to their settings or compatibility.

•When set to “On”, power consumption will increase.

•When set to “On”, regardless of whether the AV receiver is On or on Standby, both audio and video received by an HDMI input will be output by the HDMI OUT for playback on the TV or other compo- nent that’s connected to the HDMI OUT.

•Refer to the connected component’s instruction man- ual for details.

TV Control

Set to “On” when you want to control the AV receiver

from an -compatible TV that is connected to HDMI.

Off: TV Control disabled.

On: TV Control enabled.

Notes:

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

•Set to “Off” when the TV is not compatible or when it is unclear whether the TV is compatible or not.

•The “TV Control” setting can be set only when the above “HDMI Control (RIHD)” and “Power Control” settings are both set to “On”.

•Refer to the connected component’s instruction man- ual for details.

Note:

After changing the settings of the “HDMI Control (RIHD)”, “Power Control”, or “TV Control”, turn off the power to all connected pieces of equipment and then turn them on again. Refer to the User’s Manuals for all connected pieces of equipment.
