Connecting an HDMI-compatible device to play back videos/audio

(RX-A3020 only)

Connect an HDMI-compatible device (such as a TV) to play back videos/audio at Zone2 or Zone4. If you connect an AV amplifier, you can enjoy multi-channel playback in another room (Zone4).

To watch videos played back on a video device at Zone2 or Zone4, you need to connect the video device to the unit with an HDMI cable (p.41).

We recommend that you disable HDMI Control on the playback devices connected to the unit.

When the HDMI OUT 2 (ZONE OUT) jack is assigned to Zone2, you can enable/disable the audio output from the HDMI OUT 2 jack by setting “Audio Output” (p.127) in the “Setup” menu to “On” or “Off” (default).

You can also use speakers placed in Zone2 to output audio (p.32).

Videos/audio interruptions may happen in another zone when any of the following operations is performed.

Tuning on/off a TV connected to the unit via HDMI or switching the TV input

Enabling/disabling a zone output or selecting its input source

Changing the sound mode or audio settings (such as “Extended Surround”)

On-screen operations are not available for Zone4.
