Connecting Your Components—Continued

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV controller’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector. See “HDMI Input Setup” on page 47.

■Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI outputs. See “Video Connection Formats” on page 27 for more information.

■Audio Signals

Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV controller. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI outputs, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 107).

Hint!

Note:

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see page 107), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

When listening to audio from an HDMI component through the AV controller’s speakers, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on your TV (e.g., on your TV, select the input to which the HDMI component is connected). If your TV is not turned on or a different input is selected, the AV controller’s speakers may produce no sound or the sound may be cut off.

•When the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 107), or TV Control is set to Enable and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV controller’s volume control, the sound will be output by the AV controller’s speakers. To stop the AV controller’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV controller’s volume.
