Making cable connections

Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise from the speakers.

Important

•Before making or changing connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

•Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into standby.

Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.

Note

1• Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on page 40 to THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in Choosing the input signal on page 43 to HDMI, if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or flat panel TV (no sound will be heard from this receiver).

•If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use a (analog) composite connection.

•When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be received.

2• Use a High Speed HDMI® cable. If HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI® cable is used, it may not work properly.

•When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.

3Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.

4• HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may occur when switching between audio formats or beginning playback.

•Turning on/off the device connected to this unit's HDMI OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.
