2 Use the number buttons to enter ID 1, 2, or 3.

The remote indicator flashes twice.

HDMI Setup

Menu

HDMI Setup

Audio TV OUT

`Off:

HDMI audio is not output.

`On:

HDMI audio is output.

This preference determines whether audio received at the HDMI IN is output by 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 component that’s connected to an HDMI IN, through your TV’s speakers. Normally, this should be set to “Off”.

Note

If “On” is selected and the signal can be output by the TV, the AV receiver will output no sound through its speakers.

If “On” is selected, “TV Sp On” appears on the display by pressing 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”.

When the “Audio TV OUT” setting is set to “On”, or “TV Con- trol” is set to “On” and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers (15), if you turn up the AV receiver’s volume con- trol, 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.

LipSync

`Disable:

HDMI lip sync disabled.

`Enable:

HDMI lip sync enabled.

The AV receiver can be set to automatically correct any delay between the video and the audio, based on the data from the connected monitor.

Note

This function works only if your HDMI-compatible TV supports HDMI Lip Sync.

You can check the amount of delay being applied by the HDMI Lip Sync function on the A/V Sync screen.
