Making the KURO LINK connections

You can use synchronized operation for a connected flat screen TV and up to four (VSX- 1019AH model)/three (VSX-919AH model) other components.

Be sure to connect the flat screen TV’s audio cable to the audio input of this unit.

For details, see Connecting your TV and playback components on page 23.

Important

When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch the power off and disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.

After completing all connections, connect the power cords to the wall socket.

After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You cannot carry out any operations during initialization. The HDMI indicator on the display unit blinks during initialization, and you can turn this receiver on once it has stopped blinking.

To get the most out of this function, we

recommend that you connect your HDMI component not to a flat screen TV but rather directly to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.

While the receiver is equipped with four (VSX-1019AH model)/three (VSX-919AH model) HDMI inputs, the KURO LINK function can only be used with up to three DVD or Blu-ray disc players or up to three DVD or Blu-ray disc recorders.
