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.

Here are the default assignments.

`HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, HDMI4:

Select a corresponding HDMI input that the video component has been connected.

Select if you’re not using the HDMI OUT. Each HDMI input cannot be assigned to two input selectors or more. When HDMI1 - HDMI4 have already been assigned, you must set first any unused input selectors to “- - - - -”, or you will be unable to assign HDMI1 - HDMI4 to input selector.

Note

When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained here, the digital audio input for that input selector is automati- cally set to the same HDMI IN (35, Digital Audio (Digital Audio Input)).

If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated iPod) to UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to PORT selector.

Do not assign the component connected with the HDMI input to TV/CD selector when you set “TV Control” setting to “On” (42). Otherwise, appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation will not be guaranteed.
