4Connecting playback devices

The unit is equipped with a variety of input jacks including HDMI input jacks to allow you to connect different types of playback devices. For information on how to connect an iPod or a USB storage device, see the following pages.

Connecting an iPod (p.68)Connecting a USB storage device (p.72)Connecting video devices (such as BD/DVD players)

Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your video device, choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an HDMI connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.

Videos input to the unit via HDMI cannot be output to a TV connected to the unit with a cable other than HDMI.

The following explanation is based on the assumption that you have not changed the “Input Assignment” setting (p.119) in the “Setup” menu. As necessary, you can assign the COMPONENT VIDEO (A , B , C , D ), COAXIAL (a, b, f) and OPTICAL (c, d, e) jacks to another input source.

If you make more than one audio connection for one input source, an audio signal played back on the unit will be determined according to the “Audio Select” setting (p.93) in the “Option” menu.
