1Use an HDMI cable to connect one of the HDMI IN interconnects on this receiver to an HDMI output on your HDMI component.

HDMI indicator lights on the front panel when an HDMI- equipped component is connected.

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, one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

HDMI, the logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

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

•The arrow on the cable connector body should be facing right for correct alignment with the connector on the player.

Connecting the multichannel analog inputs

For DVD Audio and SACD playback, your DVD player may have 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channel analog outputs (depending on whether your player supports surround back

channels).1 Make sure that the player is set to output multichannel analog audio.

3Use the INPUT SELECT button to select the HDMI input you’ve connected to (for example, HDMI 2). You can also perform the same operation by using the INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel or by pressing HDMI (SHIFT+TV CTRL) on the remote control repeatedly.

Note

1To listen to multichannel analog audio you’ll need to switch the input signal selector to MULTI CH IN (see Selecting the multichannel analog inputs below for more on this).
