Synchronized amp mode operations

By connecting a component to this receiver with an HDMI cable you can use synchronized amp mode, which

allows you to synchronize the following operations2:

•Displays on the flat panel TV when you mute or adjust the volume of this receiver.

•The input of this receiver is automatically changed when playback occurs on a connected component.

•Even if you change this receiver’s input to a device that is not connected by HDMI, the synchronized amp mode remains in effect.

•This receiver’s input switches automatically when the channel is switched on an HDMI control-compatible flat panel TV.

•By pressing GENRE when listening to a source from a HDD/DVD recorder, the most appropriate listening mode is automatically selected (see Using the genre synchronizing function on page 35 for more on this).

Before using synchronization

Once you have finished all connections and settings, you must:

1Put all components into standby mode.

2Turn the power on for all components, with the power for the flat panel TV being turned on last.

Canceling synchronized amp mode

Operate the flat panel TV to cancel the synchronized amp mode.

If you cancel synchronized amp mode while connected via HDMI to a flat panel TV or while you are watching a TV programme, the power for this receiver is turned off.

3Choose the HDMI input to which the TV is connected to this receiver, and see if video output from connected components displays properly on the screen or not.

4Check whether the components connected to all HDMI inputs are properly displayed.
