The HDMI Through function is activated on the input source selected at the time of setting the AV receiver to standby mode.

When enabling the HDMI Through function, regardless of whether the AV receiver is on or in standby, both audio and video streams from an HDMI input will be output to the TV or other components via HDMI connection. The HDMI indicator will be dimly-lit in standby mode. Note that the indicator may not light under certain conditions (➔ page 51).

This setting is fixed to “Auto” automatically when the above “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to “On”, resulting in automatic input source selection.

Note

•Only an input source assigned to an HDMI IN via “HDMI Input” setting is enabled (➔ page 52).

•The power consumption in standby mode will increase during the HDMI Through function; however in the following cases, the power consumption can be saved:

–The TV is in standby mode.

–You are watching a TV program.

•Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

•Depending on the connected component, the correct input source may not be selected with the setting fixed to “Auto”.

•This setting is set to “Off” automatically when the “HDMI Control(RIHD)” setting is set to “Off”.

■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

•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 Control(RIHD)” is set to “On”, this setting is fixed to “Auto”.
