Connecting the AV receiver—Continued

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1:

Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD/BD player, TV, projec- tor, and so on.

Step 2:

Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 44).

■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 26 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. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 96).

Hint!

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:

•Set the “TV Control” setting to “On” (see page 97) for an -compatible TV.

•Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (see page 96) when the TV is not compatible with or the “TV Control” setting to “Off”.

•Set your DVD/BD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:

•The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not guaranteed.

•When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, 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). 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 or the sound may be cut off.

•When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 96) to hear from your TV’s speakers, if you control the AV receiver volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. The “TV Control” is set to “On”

to hear from speakers of -compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speak- ers will produce sound while the TV’s speakers are muted. 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.

•The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.
