Connecting AV Components—Continued

To listen to an HDMI source component through the HTX-22HDX, you must configure your system so that video from the HDMI source component can be displayed on your TV (i.e., on your TV, select the HDMI input that’s connected to the HTX-22HDX’s HDMI OUT). This is necessary because a component identification check has to be performed on your TV before an HDMI source component can output any signals. If your TV is off or set to a different input source, the HTX-22HDX may produce no sound or the sound may be distorted.

The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

If you set the Audio TV Out setting to On (page 43) to listen through your TV’s speakers, if you adjust the volume on the HTX-22HDX, the HTX-22HDX’s speakers will also output

sound. Also, if you set the TV Control setting to On (page 44) to listen through the speakers of an -compatible TV, if you adjust the volume on the HTX-22HDX, the HTX-22HDX’s speakers will output sound when the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the HTX-22HDX’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the HTX-22HDX’s volume.
