HDMI Input

If you connect a video component to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to HDMI IN 2, you must assign “HDMI2” to the “BD/DVD” input selector.

Here are the default assignments.

`HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3:

Select a corresponding HDMI input that the video component has been connected.

`- - - - -:

Select if you’re not using the HDMI OUT. Each HDMI input cannot be assigned to two input selectors or more. When HDMI1 - HDMI3 have already been assigned, you must set first any unused input selectors to “- - - - -”, or you will be unable to assign HDMI1 - HDMI3 to input selector.

Note

When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained here, the digital audio input for that input selector is automati- cally set to the same HDMI IN (29, Digital Audio (Digital Audio Input)).

If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated iPod) to UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to PORT selector.

Do not assign the component connected with the HDMI input to TV/CD selector when you set “TV Control” setting to “On” (33). Otherwise, appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation will not be guaranteed.
