Note

1• An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

When HDMI Audio is set to TV, sound is output from this unit to the TV connected to the HDMI connectors in for audio format supported by that TV.

Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
