button to select the audio input signal.

You can also use the front panel controls to do

this (see Choosing the input signal on page 33).

• If the video signal does not appear on your

TV or plasma display, 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 an

(analog) S-video or composite connection.

HDMI IN

HDMI/DVI-compatible monitor or plasma display

1Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI IN 1/2 interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI output on your HDMI component.

2Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-compatible monitor.

The arrow on the cable connector body should be facing right for correct align- ment with the connector on the player.

3To hear audio from your HDMI component through this system, make analog and/or digital connections as necessary.

On the rear panel, you must connect to the audio jacks from a set of audio/video inputs (for example, DVR/VCR as shown in the illustration).

Without this connection, HDMI audio will still be output from your TV or plasma display (though no sound will be heard from this receiver).

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI- compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
