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

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

When “Audio TV Out” or “HDMI Ctrl (RIHD)” is set to “On” and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers (page 14), turning up the AV receiver’s volume control will make the sound be output from the AV receiver’s front left and right speakers. 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.

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