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.

If you’ve connected your TV to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable, composite video and component video sources can be upconverted* and output by the HDMI output. You can set this for each input selector by selecting the “- - - - - option. See “Video Connection Formats” for more information on video signal flow and upconversion

(page 101).

`HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, HDMI4, HDMI5, HDMI6, HDMI7:

Select the input to which the component has been connected.

`- - - - -:

Output composite video and component video sources from the HDMI output. The video output signal from the HDMI output is the one configured in “Component Video Input”.

*1 If you connect your personal computer to PC IN (Analog RGB), you must assign “- - - - - to the “PC” input selector.

Each HDMI input cannot be assigned to two input selectors or more. When HDMI1 - HDMI7 have already been assigned, you must first set any unused input selectors to “- - - - - or you will be unable to assign HDMI1 - HDMI7 to other input selectors.

Note

If no video component is connected to the HDMI output (even if the HDMI input is assigned), the AV receiver selects the video source based on the setting of “Component Video Input”.

When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained here, the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in the “Digital Audio Input”. In this case, if you want to use the coaxial or optical audio input, make the appropriate selection in the “Audio Selector” setting (page 72).

Do not assign an HDMI IN to the TV/CD selector while “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (page 75), otherwise appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation will not be guaranteed.

If you assign “- - - - - to an input selector that is currently selected in “HDMI Through” (page 75), the “HDMI Through” setting will be automatically switched to “Off”.

AUX” is used only for input from the front panel.

Component Video Input

If you connect a video component to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, you must assign “IN2” to the “BD/DVD” input selector.
