HDMI

AudioTVOut

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”.

Off: HDMI audio is not output (default).

On: HDMI audio is output.

Notes:

If Onis 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 Dis- play by pressing the [DISPLAY] button.

When TV Ctrlis set to “On”, this setting is set to Auto.

With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be output even when this setting is set to On.

When the “AudioTVOut” setting is set to On, or

TV Ctrl” is set to “On” and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers (see page 25), if you turn up the AV receiver’s volume control, 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.
