HDMI

Audio TV Out

`Off:

The audio is not output from the HDMI output.

`On:

The audio is output from the HDMI output.

This preference determines whether the incoming audio signal is output from the HDMI OUT. You may want to turn this preference on if your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT and you want to listen to the audio from a connected component through your TV’s speakers. Nor- mally, this should be set to “Off”.

Note

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

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 Sp On” appears on the display.

When “TV Control” 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” (56).

When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On”, or “TV Con- trol” is set to “On” (56) and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers (18), if you turn up the AV receiver’s volume control, the sound will be output by 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.
