Notes on HDMI connections

•Use an HDMI cable with the HDMI logo (made by Sony).

•Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable.

•An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the speaker output jacks, HDMI OUT jack and PRE OUT jacks. It is not output from any other audio jacks.

•Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. The video input signals cannot be output from the VIDEO OUT jacks, S VIDEO OUT jacks, or MONITOR OUT jacks.

•When you want to listen to the sound from the TV speaker, set “HDMI AUDIO” to “TV+AMP” in the Video Settings menu (page 67). If set to “AMP,” the sound is not output from the TV speaker or you cannot playback multi-channel software.

•The multi/stereo area audio signals of a Super Audio CD are not output.

•Be sure to turn on the receiver when video and audio signals of a playback component are being output to a TV through this receiver. Unless the power is on, neither video nor audio signals will be transmitted.

•Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable.

•Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number of channels of audio output signals from the playback component is switched.

•When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may be not output.

In this case, check the specification of the connected component.

•Set the resolution of the image of the playback component to 720p or 1080i when you output 96 kHz multi-channel sound over an HDMI connection.

•Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details.

•We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. When you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D component, the sound and/or the image may not be output. Connect other audio cords or digital connecting cords, then set “HDMI VIDEO ASSIGN?” in the Video Settings menu (page 95) when the sound is not output correctly.
