Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 48).

Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Con- nection Formats” on page 27 for more information.

Audio Signals

Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 95).

Note:

When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver/AV amplifier, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver/AV amplifier or the sound may be cut off.

Hint!

Note:

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see page 95), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

When the HDMI Audio setting is set to On (see page 95), or TV Control is set to Enable and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver/AV amplifier volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s speakers producing sound, change the set- tings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s volume.
