e.The initially set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals. Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.

f.You shouldn’t have any problems using this with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain setting back to 0 dB.

g.• HDMI Audio setting cannot be switched while performing synchronized amp mode operations.

•The synchronized amp mode must be turned on in order to play the receiver’s HDMI audio and video input signals from the TV with the receiver’s power in the standby mode. See Synchronized amp mode on page 62.

h.This feature is only available when the connected display supports the automatic audio/video synchronizing capability (‘lipsync’) for HDMI. If you find the automatically set delay time unsuitable, set A. DELAY to OFF and adjust the delay time manually. For more details about the lipsync feature of your display, contact the manufacturer directly.
