Turn this setting on to allow p-compatible components connected via HDMI to be controlled by the AV receiver (➔ page 93).

Note

are displayed on the AV receiver.

“Search…” → “(name)” → “RIHD On”

When the AV receiver cannot receive the name of the component, it is displayed as “Player*” or “Recorder*”, etc. (“*” shows up and indicates the number of components, when two or more are received).

•When an p-compatible component is connected to the AV receiver via an HDMI cable, the name of the connected component is displayed on the AV receiver display. For example, while you are watching TV broadcasting, if you operate a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player (being powered on) with the remote control of the AV receiver, the name of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player will be displayed on the AV receiver.

•Set it to “Off” when a connected piece of equipment is not compatible or it is unclear whether the equipment is compatible or not.

•If operation is not normal when set to “On”, change the setting to “Off”.
