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 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.

When “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” setting is set to “On”, the power consumption on standby mode slightly increases. (Depending on the TV status, the AV receiver will enter standby mode as usual.)

When enabling the HDMI Through function, regardless of whether the AV receiver is On or in Standby, both audio and video stream from an HDMI input will be output to the TV or other components via HDMI connection. The HDMI THRU and HDMI indicators light when enabled. This setting is set to “Auto” automatically when the above “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” is set to “On”.

Audio TV Out

`On

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.

If “On” is selected and the signal can be output from the TV, the AV receiver will output no sound through its speakers. In this case, “TV Speaker” appears on the display by pressing

DISPLAY.

When “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” is set to “On”, this setting is fixed to “Auto”.

With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be output even when this setting is set to “On”.

The audio return channel (ARC) function allows an ARC capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT of the AV receiver. To use this function, you must select the TV/CD input selector and your TV must support ARC function.

Note

If you set “Audio Return Ch” to “Auto”, the “Audio Selector” settings of the TV/CD input selector will be automatically switched to “ARC” (page 33).

The “Audio Return Ch” setting can be set only when the above “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” setting is set to “On”.

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